This glove features pre-oiled leather that enhances durability and makes it more game-ready. It also includes "high-low" lacing in the pocket to improve flexibility and V-flex technology to facilitate easier closure. While this glove may not be suitable for frequent use as it may not last a long time, it can be a good option for someone in need of an affordable glove that doesn't require long-term durability.
