IMPORTANT NOTE: SF has announced a new version of the glove, that potentially addresses some points that I have regarding the glove. This review covers the V2 with the better back-plate, that is otherwise (as far as we are aware) identical to the V1.
A Review of the "HEMA Impact Resistant Gloves" by Superior Fencing: supfen.com/product/hema-gloves/hfg0706.html
NOTE: The gloves were provided by Superior Fencing free of charge, and we get to keep them. They got to see the review first, but no changes were made to it.
If there is anything that you are interested in concerning these gloves that this review did not cover, feel free to leave us a comment and we will try to get back to you on that.
