Built for aggressive baserunners
Stealing a base or diving back to the bag, a headfirst slide puts your hand right into the dirt and the base. The Kong Sliding Mitt has reinforced padding across the areas that take the impact, so your hand is covered every time you go in. The lightweight fabric keeps it from feeling bulky on the bases, and the materials hold up through a long season.
A palm that grips
The palm has a secure, textured surface that keeps control and traction when you slide into the base. That means less slipping when your hand hits the bag.
Fits either hand
Hook-and-loop straps adjust for a snug, custom fit, and one mitt works on your left or right hand. Wear it on whichever hand leads your slide.
Style that stands out
Every Kong Sliding Mitt has the Kong gorilla on the back. The Bubblegum versions add a pink bubble to the design.
