Summary: Comfy glove
March 19th, 2007
I've owned 3 of these gloves now. They fit well, are comfortable, they grip well, and they've got the best durability of any other glove I've experienced.



However, I've never experienced long durability with a glove. These gloves start developing holes after about 3 months for me (2-3 days fencing/week + tournaments). Saying that, I've used the other "vendor" beginner's glove, and those will develop holes in about 2 weeks with my use.



There was a hole punched in this glove the other day. I was extending, the opponent was lunging, and the tip of his epee caught the area on the back of the hand right after the padding on the glove and punched a hole straight through the glove. It's kind of scary that that happened, but it was a pretty hard hit.



Overall, you're going to get a good, comfortable glove with this one. It's a little on the pricey side compared to other gloves, but you have to decide if it's worth it to you.
