After trying dozens of other brands, Rawlings is the most durable. My son has used these for 11 games and in the batting cages for the past month. The only sign of wear is on the pad on the heel of the palm -- the little rubber bumps are falling off. The glove leather is slightly thicker, but still buttery smooth. Makes for a good cool weather glove. Not as stylish as some other brands, but lasts longer.
