Not all catcher's mitts are created equal. Often, it's what you don't see that matters most. Hidden within the layers of the mitt are carefully considered reinforcements that bring structure, integrity, and longevity to the design. These unseen elements are not incidental; they are intentional, quietly extending the life of the product while enhancing its performance. The Tank was designed this way because over the years, I've repaired numerous catcher's mitts with tears and ripping around the most used part of a catcher's mitt: the pocket. I've taken note of the wear a catcher's mitt endures, and I designed The Tank with a fully reinforced pocket and edge binding. Every lace hole is reinforced, and the edge binding and lacing holes are reinforced with a woven canvas liner. The finger stall is stitched down to a canvas reinforcement.

Why 100% Wool Padding?
The Tank 33.5" Catcher's Mitt features 100% Australian S1 grade wool felt padding, chosen for its exceptional durability, vibration absorption, abrasion resistance, and natural moisture-wicking properties. This high-density wool felt maintains its shape under pressure, offering long-lasting protection through intense play. Its ability to dampen impact helps reduce hand fatigue, while the dense, interlocked fibers resist wear from repeated use. Additionally, the natural wicking capability of wool keeps hands drier and more comfortable during extended innings, making it an ideal choice for serious athletes at the high school, college, or professional level.
