SciFlex now has new, exclusive tanned Taction® APLâ?¢ Cabretta leather, by Pittards® of England which gives the player two times better gripping power.

FiberSofâ?¢ microfiber along the fingers, Coolmax® Lycra® knuckles, PowerNetâ?¢ mesh along the back panel and a new angled ComforTabâ?¢ all provide an extraordinary fit and performance. SciFlex is available August 1, 2006 with a suggested retail price of $18.00.
The redesigned SofJoy glove offers a outstanding feeling glove at a value price. The SofJoy glove has premium Cabretta Leather on the entire palm that provides soft, smooth feel and is perspiration resistant. The exclusive Q-Mark® ballmarker logo allows you to mark you ball quickly and with ease. FiberSof microfiber along the back of the glove provides soft, leather like feel and offers a consistent fit.
