Palm of glove: Our SG Soft Grip foam is a high quality palm made of a natural and synthetic latex mixture. Backhand of glove: Super Softi foam all over. Embossed foam design makes the glove more flexible at many breakpoints. We have developed a free-floating Ortho-Tec stay system by anchoring the individual finger-stays at the extreme end of the glove fingers and thumbs; thus allowing unsurpassed flexibility. The new Wider Wrist Bandage gives the keeper a better fit and more control. Construction: The optimal fit and catching zone provided by our revolutionary Expanse Cut ESS (Ergonomic Support System) uses a pattern that helps the fingers to be pre-splayed (spread so the keeper has a better hand position on the ball). Rolled Thumb Construction. Our AirVentSystem uses highly breathable Air Mesh material to make this glove more comfortable. Our patented two-piece dual density Ortho-Tec stays are in all the fingers AND the thumb. The deep thumb notch on the face of the glove includes an elasticized piece below the foam to help eliminate tear out. We also use an elasticized thread throughout the glove to help eliminate tear out. Includes ESS, Thumbflex.
