Super glove or dura glove
« on: October 26, 2011, 06:56:00 PM »
I've been waiting weeks to order a dura glove from 3Rivers but they continue to be back ordered. As time is getting short I may order a super glove instead. Can anyone give me a comparison of the two gloves

Thanks for any help

I have both..... Super glove is much heavier and takes a little bit to break in.... Where the dura glove is softer and more sesitive to the touch. I switched to super glove bc my fingers were getting sore when shooting my heavier bows...

I'll be happy to send you one of my spare Duragloves (well broken-in) if you wear a medium.  PM me with your address if you want one.  I could never get used to the Superglove.  The string kept rolling off the hard tips into my nose.

I switched from Demascus to a Dura and won't go back.  I love a thin glove to which I can feel the string.  The more I wear it....that faster it becomes.  Great glove.

shot them both and the dura glove is way better by far just for what LoweBow said, feel the sting and fast. dino

I've never shot a super glove, but I love the dura glove. I used to wear out a glove a year, but my dura glove has been with me over two now and still going strong.

I am a fan of the alaskan bowhunters superglove.  I have two duragloves and started shooting black widow tabs.  I prefer the tab over a glove, but the needed something in a glove during the cold months so I switched to a super glove.  It is alot like my widow tab.  I love it.

I know your not asking about other brands but have you checked out the American Leathers Big-Shot? I haven't tried the glove you are referring to but the Big-Shot is pretty nice from my point of view and it only seems to get better the more I use it.

I like the duraglove as well. I prefer my duraglove over a more expensive Elk hide big shot glove.

I've got both and I prefer the duraglove over the superglove. That said, I prefer my Screaming Eagle tabs over either one.

Is the sizing accurate on 3 rivers site for shooting gloves & tabs?  I am wanting to order one but am reluctant as I always buy xl normal gloves and their site measurements indicate I should wear a medium shooting glove.

I've been shooting a Super glove for about three years - every day.  Still in good shape.  If you shoot bows 65 and up - Super will save your fingers and last.

I love my super glove, broken in I can't imagine an other. Never shot a dura, always willing to learn. I have and American Leather glove and couldn't like it as much as I tried. I can see how others may like it. Seems like I had more feel with the super glove. I even glued finger inserts from a golf glove inside. I forgot I did it. Longest lasting glove I've used, that makes me freak out a little thinking about having to retire it one day. I shoot mostly around 60# bows everyday. Had this one 3 years I'll bet.

Duraglove is nice, but its lifespan is short. The only way your going to replace a super glove is if you lose it.

I am at the same situation right now!!

Ordered one Medium Damascus from 3rivers, which is slighlty short. Wanted to go for something better, but as large Dura-glove is out of stock I was wondering weather Medium Dura glove will fit my hand or not. I don't have much time left before i return to INDIA so can't take chance.

I think I should take the plunge and order a Medium Dura glove. What you folks think?
