Condition your Glove
with Baseball Glove Break In

A baseball glove break in is necessary for most gloves. Some gloves are game ready and don't need any or only a little break in. Breaking in a glove will extend the life of the glove and make the glove soft and flexible.

It is recommended to use glove oil that conditions and softens the leather. There are many methods that players have developed. Unfortunately, most of these methods do more harm than good.

Nokona Athletic Goods Company recommends untreated petroleum jelly to treat your new glove. Nokona believes that petroleum jelly is one of the best and safest leather conditioner. During the glove break in, use only a light application. At the end of the season use a more generous amount for the outside and inside of the glove.

There are several good glove conditioners available. The Nokona NLT is a safe oiling formula. It cleans and conditions the glove. Price is about $5.

Wilson Pro Stock glove conditioner conditions, cleans and restores the glove. Price is about $10.

Proper care of the glove will make it more comfortable and you will enjoy the glove.

Some glove manufacturers have developed new tanning processes that make the gloves ready for play without the usual glove break in.
