Editorial Review :

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. This glove differs from the Basic ( PC G 200) by having the 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.

Great glove for beginning students

Got this glove for my 12 year old son - a beginning fencer. Just slightly big on an average 5'4" boy. But worked great. Wonderful and comfortable protection for his level of the sport.

Rating :

Great gloves

As another reviewer commented, they have red and black palms, not the white depicted, but other than that have been excellent fencing gloves. Good grip, they have the right degree of freedom, and are wearing well.

Does not look like the product in the photo

First, let me say that I can't speak to the quality of this product in terms of a fencing glove... I bought it to use in a Halloween costume. I bought both a right and left glove, and was expecting them to be all-white, as shown. Unfortunately, the palm and underside of the fingers were a burgundy color, and they do not look at all like what I thought I was buying. Costumers beware!

Great Glove

The glove is a perfect fit! I ordered size small and I was a little worried at first that it might not fit properly but it did once I held my sword (an epee handle, it is a snug fit). The padding is great and I love it! My teacher said that it was good quality (I'm a beginner) and I'm very happy with my glove. Happy stabbing!

Like a molded plastic sports bra that widens to protect chest and as ell as breasts. Strong, impact deadening plastic. Form fitting without binding. Adjustable shoulder straps and back closure. Color of protector and straps may vary.

Customer Review :

very happy with the fit

i've been borrowing club equipment, and just started buying my own stuff. i've been wearing similar protectors of various brands in size 34B, (i'm more of a 30-32B.) this protector fits SO much better (i was torn between the small and the child size, and wound up buying the small.) excellent coverage and it doesn't impede my axillary motion AT ALL; the old ones tended to rub against my arm and stick out a bit on the sides. adjustable elastic straps, lightweight, strong.

Questions & Answers

Question : Protective Gear?
Should I cut back on the pads I wear to tennis matches? The shoulder pads are fine, but my helmet and chain mail are cumbersome.

Answer:
I generally stay away from the chain mail, and stick with the good old suit of armor. It feels more natural. I also make sure to have my heaviest set of steel boots with two-inch spikes on the outsolse. Keeps my footwork solid.

Question : What should I wear under my protective gear for Ice Hockey?
What am I supposed to wear under my ice hockey gear? shorts and a t-shirt? What do you recommend?

Answer:
you wear a jock with a cup, I wear it over a pair of boxer briefs. that prevents chafing. for the shirt, a simple cotton undershirt will do, but I wear a nice wicking shirt. wear socks in your skates... and that's about it. You don't' wear much, it gets too hot for that.

Question : How helpful would motocross protective gear (chest protector, elbow and knee pads, etc) be in a street crash?
Just wondering, as I am a beginning streetbike rider, and while I am a very good driver, many others are not.

Answer:
every bit helps... better too much than not enough..

Question : What protective gear do i need for a moped?
Thinking of getting a moped/scooter what protective gear do i need?

Answer:
gloveslidjacketjeansstrong shoes.Have seen the chavs round our end going around it t-shirt and trackie bottoms. Come off in them and you will be picking pieces of road out of your skin for weeks. roadrash hurts....... alot.

Question : Is it really necessary to wear protective gear when I'm bleaching clothes, spraying aerosol/insecticide etc?
How much of a difference does a protective mask make?

Answer:
It depends on the chemicals you're using. You should look at the ingredients of those products (particularly the effective ingredients), and then search for the MSDS sheet for those chemicals on Google or Yahoo! The MSDS sheet will tell you what the harmful effects are (if any) when you inhale, ingest, or come into contact with, or get the chemicals in your eyes. Generally, yes, it's a good idea to wear protective gear. Why would you risk it or be stubborn about something that's for your safety and not all that hard to do?

Question : What protective gear is used in windsurfing?
i need to know what protective gear is used in windsurfing thnx

Answer:
A life vest is recommended (and in many places required by state laws). Booties is a good idea for most places to protect your feet while walking or in rocky or dirty bottoms. In sandy places barefoot is fine.The rest really depends on your level and preference. If you sail in high winds or make jumps you may want a helmet, but I suspect you are not at that level yet. Gloves are optional, most people do not like to use them.Neoprene wetsuit when in cold water or cold weather to prevent hypothermia.You would use a harness also but that is not considered a safety device.Another safety advise if you venture in isolated places is to carry a small piece of cord (I carry it in my harness) just in case you break something, it may become vey usefull.Then there are other devices called mast protectors and boom protectors (padded devices) but they are mainly used to protect the board rather than yourself and most people do not use them.

Question : What do you think are the best starter brands for street motorcycles, helmets, and protective gear?
I don't want to spend too much money, but I would also like to be able to depend on the bike and gear I buy for a while without having to immediately upgrade to something better. If you can help me out with some good suggestions it would be much appreciated.

Answer:
Okay. I would buy a Ducati, if I were independantly wealthy, but I'm not. Ducati's have more, and more expensive REGULAR SCHEDULED service, than japanese bikes. If I could pay some one to do it I'd be happy to buy a performnce machine. I'd be happy to by a Buell or Harley Davidson if were independantly wealthy. But I'm not. I would buy a Honda, or Kawasaki, a Yamaha, or Suzuki, pretty much interchangeably. Not the top of the line, like BMWs. But it doesn't cost as much in maintenance. Now jackets and the like, if you are a common size in a motorcycle jacket, then Joe Rocket, or Alpinestar or CorTech the other brands are all about the same. Some brands have more cachet, than others, and they all sell 2 or three lines. So you got to get the features you want at a lower cost somehow. Buy at NewEnough.com. Look at and buy from the Close-OUTS. But I wear a 5XLT, and the usual run of the mill doesn't fit, so I have used an ordinary leather jacket (G2 flight jacket, goarskin), and the Bohn Armored shirt. If I could I'd buy a Vanson custom jacket. I can't, or a SCHOTT motorcycle jacket (think Marlin Brando in the movie role that made people scared of black leather jackets.)I also use bohn armored riding (under)pants. If you are doing something where you have to change at work to look professional , buy a pair of OVER pants with zippers down the sides. These will keep slacks office safe and literally your backside in place and unground. Do NOT count on jeans unless they have kevlar fibers, pockets for knee/hip pads, and a wide belt loop. Now try to get a pair of pants that match up to the jacket if you can, since MOTORCYCLE JACKETS ZIP TO THE PANTS. and if both are the same maker you can be confidant they will hook up. Look for a jacket longer in the back than the front, and with sleeves shaped to extend you arms out front (like holding handlebars, and leaning forward over the tank). make sure collars snap down or velcro to the jacket . A collar can beat you to death, while you are riding.Pants need extra length. Your legs will be folded somewhat on a motorcycle in riding position, so don't get them too short.I do not buy Motorcycles boot that make me look like a power ranger, as much as I want to look like a japanese nightmare. Most of these things are just odd for the sake of oddness. I do buy over the ankle books for riding and if I can get side zippers I do, and steel toes too.Be careful the weak point of many side zipper boots is the zipper pull. It makes sense that these would be harder to pull than your fly. So when the handle breaks or breaks off, you have to throw them away. You'd think they used a good metal YKK zipper wouldn't you? They do not.So go to the web and look for "Tactical" boots, and such like footwear, they will list every standard that these things meet. The hottest tip now is to buy a pair of boots with no metal in them to get through the airport without stopping to take your shoes off. I just do not go through the airport.I tend to prefer THOROGOOD boots and Bates boots, these are cheap enough for my tastes. $100 when you hunt around for a particular model on the web. Bates makes a style that I really like, they are leather chukkah boots with a high polish, and a STRAP to secure them to your feet. they come in mens sizes and women's sizes and EXTRA WIDE sizes. I wear a triple E, so that's one problem solved. I also like the Thorogood Ultimate Crosstrainer, also in Extra wide. Buy what suits you. but they need to be capable of staying on your feet when you are bouncing merrily down the highway, as you are wont to do now and agan. I advise you to tie your shoes, or zip them up or latch the buckle or whatever you need to keep them on your feet. There are pictures of a guy that was wearing flip flops or something that weren't all that strong. His feet were ground down by the pavement, so you could see naked bones in his feet, probably 3 years of work for him to wear shoes again. STRINGS ARE A NO-NO on a motorcycle. Sooner or later they WILL come untied, and then flap in the breeze until you stop and try to put your foot down, and the strings get caught in the rear brake pedal or the shifter or just the footpegs.Friends don't let friends wear shorts and t-shirts and flip flops to ride motorcycles.I can here you say, doesn't it get hot in side all that stuff. Yes, it does. There are some things you can do to adapt, to the heat of Texas Summer, where the road surface is around 150 degrees, leaning over on your bike feels like putting you head in the oven.Buy a couple of the ties you wear around your neck to work outdoors, these things use a product like a disposable diaper to make a cooling gel, that can hold water for hours. There are VESTs that do much the same thing, only there have removable cooling pads, some of them are VERY effective. Thanks to the soldiers, for the field testing in Afghanistan and Iraq. You can get some for 200 dollars or more, and this is the kind of thing I do not have yet, other than the necktie. So you are on your own. Look for Environmental Protection suits. wear MICROFIBER shirts, they will keep you cool and dry asd well as warm in winter. Wear wool socks, winter and summer, NOT COTTON. Wools drys and wicks moisture of your feet, cotton DOES NOT DRY EASILY, Try it, dump a load of socks in the dryer, cotton socks will be that last ones dry. I also have a couple of towels made from a non-woven matereal, that also absorb water and release it slowly for cooling effects. These are commonly found sold at professional sports places or at the gym, or amazon.com has some. That covers the the stuff that comes to mind. Any more Questions?

Question : What kind of special protective gear (clothes) would you need to survive the next ice age?
On either the science or discovery channel they said that due to global warming the fresh water trapped in ice caps will mix with the salt water of the oceans. This will cause the ocean currents, which distribute heat throughout the world, to stop completely. This will plunge the northern hemisphere into another ice age, and the only ones who would survive would need special protective clothing. What is this special protective clothing and where can I BUY SOME!?

Answer:
Look into getting traditional "Inuit" clothing mainly made of caribou, and seal.

Question : Why do they wear all that protective gear in American football?
We don't see the Rugby teams wear any protective clothing.So why do the Americans.Also, we play solidly for 40 minutes per half. Why do the Americans have a time-out every five minutes or so?

Answer:
Because the contact rules are fundamentally different. Rugby forwards are as big -- or at least as strong as any gridiron players but:(1) you can`t leave your feet during a tackle.(2) you have to wrap the ball carrier with your arms -- no leading with your shoulder(3) you can`t make contact with a player without the ball. (A lot of gridiron injuries are a result of players being blocked)(4) you can`t lead with your head (or helmet)(5) you can`t contact the ball carrier above the shoulder. In gridiron head smacks are a favourite weapon of defensive lineman. And legal, so long as they don`t grab the facemask.and (6) -- generally rugby players know when they are going to get hit and can prepare for it. In some gridiron postions -- particularly quarterback or wide-receiver -- players get hit in particularly vulnerable positions because they are focused on throwing or receiving a forward pass. They don`t see or hear that linebacker who is coming at them full-tilt from the blind-side.As I implied, all of the above is legal in gridiron. Hits come harder and more often, just because of the nature of the sport. And it is kind of a vicious circle -- hits come hard, so the players wear pads, but because they are wearing pads (particulary helmets) they can hit still harder. If you need more convincing, just compare the concussion stats from the two sports.And the frequent time-outs -- two reasons -- the substitutions and the set-piece plays are so fundamental to gridiron, along with the natural stops in action after the tackle, that they have become indispensible. People expect them and the coaching staffs plan around them. And with the guaranteed four possessions, how else (in a close game) do you stop the clock when the offensive team just keeps falling on the ball. The endurance aspect of rugby -- 15 men all going as hard as they can for eighty minutes -- just isn`t part of gridiron culture.That and they give the chance to insert commercials during televised games. Heck -- it is written into NFL television contracts that there must be a minimum amount of time-outs during a game half, just to make sure the networks can get their commercials in.
