Product

No, you do not need to use them on top of each other.Ā  For best results, we recommend using the game ready glove conditioner on the palm/pocket of the glove and use the pro glove conditioner on the rest of the glove.

The pro glove conditioner is the best option for restoring an old glove.

The pro glove conditioner is best for regular maintenance.

The purpose of the game ready glove conditioner is to add tackiness to the glove.Ā  We recommend using the game ready glove conditioner on the pocket of the glove.

The biggest difference between the game ready glove conditioner and the pro glove conditioner is in their performance.Ā  The game ready glove conditioner is designed to make the glove feel tacky while the pro glove conditioner is designed to give a more traditional feel to the leather.

Any small, soft bristle brush will work.Ā  An unused toothbrush, nail brushes, and shoe brushes are all great option.

This is a really hard question to answer because it will depend on the person, personal preference, and the glove.Ā  On a well maintained glove, it should only take about one tenth of an ounce to cover the entire glove with the pro glove conditioner.Ā  So based off that, our two ounce cans should last for 20 applications, and our four ounce can lasting 40 applications.

Yes, you should always condition your glove after cleaning.Ā  When you clean a glove, it removes the nourishing oils from the leather, these need to be replaced.Ā  So, once your glove has fully dried after cleaning, you should apply our pro glove conditioner.

This is a very hard question to answer because gloves are unique and every situation is different.Ā  For this reason, we do not guarantee any results from our products.Ā  We always recommend testing new products on a small, discreet part of the glove before applying large areas.

We do not provide any glove care services.Ā  We simply make products that are designed for glove care.

We always tell customers that this is a personal preference.Ā  There are factors to consider such as climate and glove use.Ā  Dry climates tend to require more frequent glove conditioning while humid climates require less.Ā  If you over condition your glove, you will weaken the leather which could cause it to tear.Ā  On the other hand, if you don't condition your leather enough, you run the risk of it becoming so dry that it tears.Ā  So, use your own judgement when conditioning your glove.

You can use your hands or a dry cloth.Ā  If you want to keep the conditioner off your hands, you can use a pair of sterile gloves.Ā  After applying, we recommend washing your hands with soap and water.

No, you do not have to take your glove apart to clean or conditioner your glove.Ā You can clean and condition your glove with all the laces still in the glove.
