Title: Damascus Dura-Glove
Post by: Stykbow62 on May 05, 2012, 05:14:00 PM: 3Rivers doesn't have any of the Damascus dura-gloves anymore. Does anyone know where I can purchase 1 or more of them in size large ?
Thanks

Dura-glove, or something close: Lost Nation or Alaska Bowhunting. Been looking myself.

I like the Dura glove too, but the Bearpaw seems like it's made better and the fingers on mine haven't twisted like on the Dura gloves I've had. Dura glove is still a good one, just think the Bearpaw is a nice alternative.

Here's their reply...

We will not be getting them in until late July, early August. I do apologize for the delay. We had received some samples due to a change in the materials and the samples were not acceptable. We are working with the manufacturer to ensure that the gloves maintain their previous level of quality.

Looks like a good glove. Thanks for the heads up

Post by: KOOK68 on May 10, 2012, 01:28:00 PM: I tried to get the Berlin instead, but they had the same problem. (same maufacturer) I opted for the Skookum glove. Anyone try it before?

Post by: Breeze430 on May 10, 2012, 09:40:00 PM: Take a look'at Kustom King's Deer Glove. It's very close to a dura glove. Ooops already said that..
