Akadema's latest glove series takes US Steerhide and puts it through a "Kip leather" process which originated in Europe. Kip leather is 20% lighter and tighter grained than conventional steerhide. As a result Precision gloves are more pliable, easier to break in, with more tensile strength. They cost more but the improvement in fit and playability makes Akadema Precision an excellent choice for the serious ballplayer. (To understand what 20% lighter means, many customers when they first receive their order think there's nothing inside the box - that much lighter.) Kip leather is also used in the new Torino series.

Versatile, kip-leather pitcher/all-position glove

New for the 2008 model year, the ALJ-101 is a 12 inch, flytrap-web glove is made with the new light, tight-grained leather. The open back, medium pocket and  lighter weight make this a good choice if you play many positions - for pitchers as well as short and 3rd base and the outfield.
