something always worth being said, your mileage may vary and maybe these will work great for you. They just won't for me. Something I'll add, it's possible that my issue with not feeling enough articulation in the fingers to hold the handle properly may improve with breaking in the glove more. But that doesn't stop the amount of material pushing my pinky & index off of the handle and just the lack of protection in the fingers. I can't fit these in my sabre or rapier guards, I can fit them on my sidesword & messer guards, but the lack of being able to hold the handles comfortably & the lack of finger protection still makes me not interested in using these for those applications.
I have a few friends in my club in Serbia Belgrade and they are generally happy with them. They are mostly using it for sidesword and that is different story because of how you hold it. As far as the VB light saber and these gloves, they are really not meant for it. The grip on the VB light saber is just slightly longer (if at all) than a historic/real one was/is so there is no way a glove like this will fit. As you mentioned you have a complete guard and a light saber doesn't really hit that hard so the fingers are well out of the way and hidden. You only need hard "plates" on the glove on the outside of the palm for a saber like that. Gloves like these would probably fit well my VB "D guard" (heavy) saber since that one was made with heavier gloves in mind. I tried them and I personally find that the XL is to large but the L size is to small, but that is down to my hand size (standard 9.5 glove size).
yeah, if they're happy then that's what's important. I couldn't fit it even in my d-ring sabre, and with my sidesword I found hits to the fingers were too painful and high risk of injury so I have no interest in using them for that as well. Overall I just returned them, I have no use for them. My Gabriel gloves fit every sword guard I have and are way more protective & comfortable
