Pros

Pro-grade leather at a workable price
R2G break-in saves weeks of forming
Holds its shape for many seasons

Cons

Heavier than synthetic-blend gloves
Still needs a couple weeks of catch to game-ready

Don't buy this if…

Don't buy for a young player under 12, as the stiff pro leather will frustrate small hands.
