I generally prefer traditional materials, but was looking for a low-maintenance perch for travel. This PVC wakir assembles and disassembles easily; exactly what I was wanting for everyday use, and will save undue wear and tear on my "dressy", not to mention bulky and heavy, wooden blocks.
Very nice glove, easily the equal of others I've used, and at a better price. I especially appreciate the subdued styling, and the fit was perfect. Will certainly order again as needed.
Beautiful workmanship on the hoods, especially for the price. White leather hoods are infrequently seen here in the States, making these even more distinctive.
