How to buy a fencing glove

The first thing to buy, clubs rarely lend gloves. · Typical price $15-30

Buy this first. It's cheap, and it's the one thing clubs usually don't lend.

• Weapon hand only, you only glove the hand that holds the weapon.
• The gauntlet should cover the jacket cuff so no skin or sleeve shows.
• Washable gloves are worth it, they get sweaty fast.
• Sabre fencers may want a conductive (manchette) glove for electric scoring later.
