SARNA BASEBALL Glove Conditioner, Cream, 4 Oz – Break in Faster, Keep Leather Maintained – Water-Based, Non-Darkening, No Sticky Residue – Glove Conditioner for Mitts & Softball Gear Made in USA

Very good product and has helped smooth out the break in process for my MiKen Pro Series Slowpitch glove.

Helped break in my sons very stiff glove.

This conditioner is great and doesn’t leave a sticky film on the leather. The cream form absorbs into the leather well and it softens as you work it in.

This stuff is a cut above. Great value for a quality leather conditioner. Use it weekly for everyone’s ever changing glove.

Pretty good overall. I picked up an older Spalding glove that had likely been sitting new in a box for over 30 years. The leather was still in good condition but extremely dry, and the glove had never really been broken in. After repeated applications, this conditioner brought the leather back to life—restoring pliability and making the break-in process much easier. The only downside was that mold developed inside the tightly sealed container over time. I’d already used about three-quarters of the product, but when I opened it recently for a spring refresh, I found mold inside. The tin was almost two years old, so lesson learned on storage and shelf life—but the conditioner itself did exactly what I needed it to do.

Quick drying with nice conditioning. No oily feel afterwards

I have been playing and coaching baseball for 40+ years. I’m now a full time coach and still carry 5 gloves as I was a utility player in college. I needless to say with 10+ gloves in rotation, I take care of them regularly. I have Wilson, Rawlings, 44 pro, SSK, and Rolin & Soto gloves. I have 11” middle infield to 13” outfield gloves, catchers mitts and 1B gloves as well. I recommend it to all my players and their parents, no complaints yet. I used to go to someone who did glove repair for Wilson and Rawlings and he had his own blend of oils for cleaning and conditioning, but since he closed up shop 13 years ago, I have tried every brand out there. I have spoken with several of the glove repair companies I’ve seen on instagram and social media and the general consensus is Sarna is the best combination out there. I like BallPlayers Balm also but it is waxy and I use it on some of my older gloves to help preserve them and to add a little stiffness. I have used the Sarna Oil and Cream and I prefer the cream because I can apply it evenly and it is more obvious if I miss a spot. It is also a little less messy. Oil can appear like I covered a spot but layer find out I missed it when it dries before the covered spots. I think they are both great, but you can decide which you like better, as it’s all personal preference. Sarna is water based and eventually evaporates, leaving the glove less oily after a few uses but still well conditioned. I will be trying the new Sarna Glove Cleaner on my next round of cleaning and will review that on the next review.

Works as advertised

I'm not familiar with the different creams ect the baseball gloves I am working on were given to me in 2002 when I was on holiday in WV by a chap that used to repair them for the University's and they have gone hard but yes it does seem to be doing the job.
