The Hyperformance is a marching band glove that is a great accessory to modern uniform designs. It has the comfort and snug fit of an athletic glove, and the material makes it more durable than a traditional cotton glove. One pair should get you through the entire season. This glove should eliminate the need to have multiple pairs of gloves in single season. The printed grip is big improvement over the bulky sure grip beads. We feel that this is the best marching band glove on the market. It is also a great solution for color guard members who are required to wear band gloves during a performance, as the design will help secure a better grip on the flag pole. Size chart is for general reference only and IS NOT a guarantee of desired fit. IMPORTANT- They should fit snug, but not tight. If the glove is putting stress on the seams, they are too small and can weaken.
