What makes batting gloves good like our Patriot Batting Gloves?
It takes a special company to provide superior batting gloves! Then, it takes a really special company to call those Patriot Batting Gloves! Gloves have been around for years! Companies use thick leather, thin leather, light leather, stiff leather, and stretchy leather to provide uniqueness to their products! But, no one ever does anything different besides the basic materials. Vuk has changed that! We added our bat tape technology to the palm side of our gloves to provide unmatched slip resistance and performance! If used with a Vuk baseball, Vuk has the #1 Bat Grip Tape and Batting Glove combo in the world!
- Palm Grips (Durability Pads): used to Increase Friction, but will Provide Palm Protection that occurs during the Swing!
- Instead of the leather palms taking abuse from the swing like every alternative glove, our gloves will be protected by our grips! The grips will breakdown before the leather, thereby protecting the leather!
- Rate of wear will depend on the hitter! But, each hitter will get to see our durability technology live and in action!
- Finger Grips (Performance Pads): We were taught as kids to get the bat out into our fingers. Our finger grips will grab onto the bat and allow the hitter to gain optimum grip from increased relaxation!
- These finger grips will not show the same signs of wear and will last longer than those that are gripping onto the bat!
Who makes Made in the USA hitting gloves?
USA batting gloves are not currently made in the USA. Some say it is very unlikely. But, Vuk has shortened the curve by being the 1st company to make batting gloves with American Made Features (aka: adding our American Made Bat Tape technology to the palms)! So, we do have the first Patriot Batting Glove with American Made Features! That is pretty unique as we continue to pioneer the industry with products and out of the box thinking!
What makes a good pair of BG's?
Many have asked that question! Many have answered it by saying the looks, the durability, the feel, the features, the slip resistance, the weather protection and the performance benefits! But, until 2016, there wasn't a company that provided a set of batting gloves that encompassed all of those features! Vuk was the first and will continue to be a pioneer in creating batting gloves! The leather is strong on our gloves because it has to withstand the bat grip tape technology on the palm side. Dri-fit materials on the back of the hand for unmatched breathability, comfort, and fit! An extended neoprene cuff on the wrist provides athletes a snug fit, but comfortable fit when they tighten the strap!

Are these similar to other products?
From our understanding, we do not know of any other red batting gloves that use custom leather similar to VUK Patriot Batting Gloves! We needed to do something 100% different! So, a mix of custom leather that comes in all different colors plus the stretchy backing makes these the strongest in the game! Also, we picked supple leather to make sure our Patriot Batting Gloves perform in any weather!
Since our leather is custom and is very supple, it may hold some of color used to create the red leather areas. Users may see color transferring onto their hands after use due to constant rubbing mixed with moisture. This is not a defect. This is just a scenario with custom colored leathers. So, if you wish to help alleviate the amount of color transfer, we recommend hand washing your gloves by themselves in cold water and mild detergent. Again, the color may bleed into the water. So, do not wash with other clothes. It may be worth using a bucket just to prevent any mishaps!
