Glove Protection

A glove spends more time in a bag than on the field. Stuffed under bats, helmets and cleats, it gets crushed, scuffed and loses its pocket shape. A glove protection accessory keeps it in shape and helps protect your investment, especially for premium gloves like Rawlings Heart of the Hide or Wilson A2000.

The Lizard Skins Glove Guardian is a crush-proof glove case. It holds your glove with a strap and an adjustable ball that fits the pocket height of any glove, so the pocket keeps its shape during travel and storage. It also has a mesh storage pouch and carabiners for hanging. The Glove Guardian Double protects two gloves, ideal for players who carry a game glove and a backup, or a fielding glove and a first base mitt.

The Glove Guardian is a hard, crush-proof case that fully encloses and protects the glove. The Glove Wrap is smaller and lighter: it wraps around the glove with an adjustable ball to help form and maintain the pocket, and prevents wear and tear during travel. Choose the Guardian for maximum protection of a high-end glove, and the Wrap for a compact option that fits easily in your bat bag.

Yes. The Glove Guardian and Glove Wrap both use an adjustable ball designed to fit any glove size, from youth gloves to outfield gloves. For catcher’s mitts, check the dimensions of the Glove Guardian (15" x 12" x 6.5") against your mitt.

The Rawlings Glove Clip attaches to your equipment bag so you can hang your glove outside of it, keeping it from being crushed inside. It includes a carabiner, a glove clip and three hanging loops, so you can also hang an elbow guard or other gear. It comes in several colourways.

For short trips, yes: hanging your glove keeps it from being crushed and lets the leather breathe after a sweaty game. For long-term storage, a case or wrap with a ball in the pocket is better, combined with regular glove care.
