Fencing Glove for foil epee sabre
A more advanced leather glove for when the beginner becomes more serious, with special features to enhance electrical fencing. The good protection and feel of the leather palm is reinforced by a double-layer of leather over the points of greatest wear, where the handle meets the hand- on thumb, forefinger and lower part of palm. Lightly padded back of the hand covered with a rip-resistant layer of cotton which helps point of opponent's blade slide off without setting off a light, a big help in epee and foil. The other difference is that the back of the cuff, further on, is not padded, and thereby continues the potential for slide as well as allowing the cuff to draw in closer and so present less target, while still allowing body cord to snake securely through. A glove with the good blade feel of leather, well thought out features, and very snazzy looking as well. Sold individually.
