  BRUCE BOLT Signature Series Long Cuff Batting Glove Happ/White Large

  • HIGHEST QUALITY, MOST DURABLE BATTING GLOVE IN BASEBALL: Each pair of BRUCE BOLT batting gloves are handmade by skilled craftsmen using only the highest quality 0.9mm Cabretta leather and stitching techniques which makes their gloves buttery soft, fit better and more durable than any other glove on the market. Their PREMIUM PRO line features a double reinforced palm, heavy duty lycra between fingers and knuckles, heavy duty thread, inverse stitching and a raised and stitched “BOLT” logo.
  • 0.9 MILLIMETER DOUBLE REINFORCED CABRETTA LEATHER PALM DOESN’T GET HARD OR CRUNCHY: Cabretta leather is the highest quality leather in the world. It offers superior “feel” and durability characteristics and it’s also unbelievably soft! The palms feature padded reinforcement areas to prevent tears in the leather and protect the player’s hands. And if our gloves don’t get hard and stiff, simply rub leather conditioner or mink oil inside and out and they’ll be as soft as when you bought them.
  • PATENT PENDING DOUBLE INVERSE CUFF FOR SUPPORT AND POWER: BRUCE BOLT now sells more Long Cuff gloves than we do Short Cuff gloves. That’s because our design provides more support than any other batting glove. The stabilizing cuff secures the wrist across the back of the hand and our heavy duty elastic wrap adds support and power. Their design provides protection against nagging wrist injuries while also creating a more powerful swing and unmatched wrist support at contact.
  • DESIGNED TO FIT: We studied the human hand to understand where we could refine the design of our gloves to fit better than any other in baseball. Our fingers pinch to follow the conical shape of the human finger and our palm is curved to follow the medial articulation (the curve) of the wrist. Our design not only makes our gloves more comfortable but it also makes BRUCE BOLT gloves more durable because there isn’t any unnecessary stitching near the major wear points on the glove.
  • 100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEE: We believe our gloves are the best batting gloves in baseball. We want you to think so too. If for any reason, you’re not totally satisfied with BRUCE BOLT batting gloves let us know and we'll make it right.
