The Rawlings REV1X is a baseball glove built on an engineered molded back, not leather. Heart of the Hide leather covers the palm and lining only. 3D-printed lattice inserts replace the wool padding in the thumb and pinky. The lattice holds its stiffness rather than softening as wool packs down. Rawlings lists the range as 14U through pro, with 50 percent player break-in.

I was hesitant going away from the middle infield standard A2000 or A2K for my son. Tried and true, it offers stability, comfort and reliability. When my son needed a new glove this summer, he requested a REV1X. I was hesitant, but the performance has been exceptions. Solid pocket, durable, A+.
I needed to find a replacement for my Rawlings Heart of the Hide mitt. Being in a city that brings a lot of moisture & humidity, I deal with a ton of sweat and the occasional rain during practices/games. The REV1X was a complete upgrade without losing the feel of a Premium Leather mitt. I don't have to worry about my glove being soaked and feeling like a brick. A simple wet wipe will also keep your glove looking brand new, each time you step on the diamond.
