I'm resisting. Really, I am. This was a style of glove I've been looking at for quite some time from these folks, and they're discontinuing it, so they're selling it at $30 off. Trouble is they charge $20 shipping for any order. Mind you, they have other things I'd like to get as well (upgrades for the leather jacket, like bike armor and a vest liner), but I've been trying to be good about the whole credit card thing. The one I thought I'd have paid off isn't, but that's because I haven't gotten in touch with my broker. Still might be paid off in time, but I can live if it isn't, I'll just throw the money at the other card.

To spend or not to spend, that is the question.

(and for the curious, I do actually have two purposes in mind for them. I need a good set of stiff-cuffed gloves for fencing, and I'm looking to finally get my motorcycle license. Permit as soon as I can, looking at a class in September or so)

i'm discovering that atlantian fencers really don't hit much harder (especially when things speed up and get messy, which's when aethelmarc folks tend to lose calibration-control a bit)..the main difference is that atlantians won't take things at the lighter edge of the calibration scale
getting used to the different cuts is harder, but i'm starting to get it
