Kind of thin, not much protection for heavy poundage but nice smooth release. Has held up better than I expected.

My favorite glove, and many other people's favorite glove too, from past posts on the subject.  Works fine for me up to 55#; need more protection in the fingertips for heavier bows.  For heavier bows, I like the American Leathers Big Shot.

Love mine,only been using it a couple months but it is great.No break in period.However,read the reviews & seemed as if they came small,ordered 1 size larger than I thought needed,only to end up taking it apart ,shortening the leather on the back,& sewing back together.BUT...I love it.

Love mine as well. I have been using the same glove for several years, never seems to want to wear out.

Mason has used his his for 3 yrs now and still going strong. I use the Superglove with cordovan tips. I tried Mason's for a few days but when shooting 55+ it becomes painful for extended shooting. I do love the string feel though and if I shot 45lbs or so I would use it. JMHO

You can't go wrong with a dura-glove in my opinion. And the price makes it easy to keep a spare or two.

Ditto on the above. It IS lasting longer than I thought it would too. That's a good comment about the American Leathers Big Shot. I can't get to like mine maybe because the heaviest bow here is 54#.

i have had mine just a 3 years now and the older it gets the better the fingers just seem to stay nice a slick with no bunching at the tips and i shot up to 62#bows with no pain for me and i realy like being able to feel the string threw it as well

I absolutely love mine. My middle finger got sore for a while until I developed a callous, now all is good!!

It and the similar Grizzly Wolverine SS glove are about the only gloves I shoot anymore, although I have a bunch of others. I also shoot a cordovan tab. The Duraglove is very comfortable for me to use with any bow up to my maximum of 70+ pounds. It has a slick finish with the cordura fingers which provides a great release.

I'm loving mine.  I posted on here looking for a glove that was similar in style to my Damascus and that I could still have "string feel" and the Dura Glove came highly reccomended.  With that said....it's quicker on release than my Damascus by far.  String just slips off almost suprising you at times...which is awesome!  I do notice a little sound from the glove tho.  There seems to be a small "pop" when the string slips off.  I'm thinking it'll go away as the glove breaks in....at least I pray it does.

I love mine.  I like the "thinness" of it. Helps me feel the string better. I have had no problem using mine up to a #65 draw weight.  Like other guys I read in reviews that this glove usually runs small so I ordered one size bigger and found that it was too big. A lil stiching and adjusting and it fits great now.   Would Highly reccomend this glove.

I've been using one for the past couple of months after shooting a tab for years. Really like it. I got the medium, which was a bit snug at first, but now it fits perfectly. Just ordered another one.
