Glove
A glove is worn over the sword hand to protect against hits to the hand. Those who fence Épée often choose a glove with a bit more padding to protect a bit more against hits to the hand. Sabre gloves also have a metallic sleeve and are more resistant to puncture than other gloves. Gloves must be warn whenever you fence.
Many people chose to make the glove their first purchase due to its comparatively low cost.
