Description

This softball glove is part of the NEW Nokona Kangaroo Kimera Series. Kimera is an Austrailian word that means "mixing of designs", and Nokona has combined two of the highest quality leathers to come up with one of their best baseball gloves. Kangaroo leather is lightweight, and known for its strength & durability. Premium Horween leather will add a high level of stability & control that all baseball players desire. By lining the palm with sturdy Horween-oiled leather and backing it with the light-weight Kangaroo, this glove will break-in quickly. This light-weight product will also provide the player with a sturdy, long-lasting, and most of all, great performing glove. Nokona has the reputation for producing some of the best gloves available on the market today, and the Kimera Series meets or exceeds that with this line of gloves. They come in a wide range of styles & designs for all positions. These gloves are handmade in the USA in Nocona, Texas. Nokona: American Made for American Played!!

Meek

Pros: Very well constructed

Cons: Extremely hard to break in, very stiff especially around the edges and in the ring and pinky finger area even after applying the Nokona glove conditioner two or three times. Will take a lot of use and work to get this glove in a comfortable and usable condition.

Questions and Answers

Have a question about the Nokona Kangaroo Kimera Series: AMG175KCW? Ask our team of experts and they will respond within 24 hours.

My son is 10yrs old 100lbs. What Nokona glove do you recommend? Thanks tom
Generally, a 11.5 inch glove is recommended for a 10 or 11 year old who plays all positions. If he's primarily an outfielder, a 12 inch glove should work great. If he's strictly an infielder, I would look at an 11 or 11.25 inch glove. Nokona makes high quality gloves and any of their gloves would be great options.
Mark
Does this glove come in a 13"? bman
Yes, there is a 13 inch model. Check out model AMG650KCW.
Sean
is this glove similar to buckaroo series abby
They'll be pretty similar. The Kimera will feel a little softer, but both will be very durable gloves. Buckaroo is made from Walnut Cowhide and Kangaroo leather. Kimera is made from Kangaroo and Horween leather.
Jeff
my son has to play both infield and outfield in same game. he plays in age 14 up league - would this glove work for both? lee
I think a 12 inch glove would work great for him. He shouldn't have a problem with this glove at either position.
Mark
What type of glove is this? Baseball or Softball? jeff
This glove is designed for baseball. With the smaller pocket, this glove is meant for baseballs.
Brett
Does ths glove come in 12.50 ? bernie
Unfortunately, this model is not available in a 12.5 inch.
John
Trying to decide if I should buy an open or closed wrist nokona glove. I have a small hand. Is a 12" ok for the infield? TH
Deciding between an open/closed-wrist glove is completely a personal preference, but I can say that most infielders prefer the open-wrist to help with flexibility. The size of your glove is mostly based on two factors, age and position. On average, players in the infield like to have sizes anywhere between 11.50 - 12.00 inch.
Jeff
not to sound stupid but how do you measure a glove, I want to buy a new glove for my grandson and I am thinking of getting a Nokona for him he is 12 yrs.old and the glove he has now seams small on him. Thank you Bob Stupid
Take a soft, flexible tape measure and measure from the tip of the index finger on the glove down to the very bottom (heel) of the glove. Make sure the flexible tape measure runs along the contour of the inside of the glove (it must be pressed against the surface of the leather). This will give you the glove's measurement. It's typical for gloves to measure a little smaller than advertised as the break-in process often makes them measure a bit smaller.
Jon
I have a pretty big hand, will this glove fit me. i am a high school third baseman, pitcher, and outfielder. joe
This glove is big enough for someone if high school to use. The 12.00 inch will be ideal for the positions that you are playing. If you are not satisfied with the glove we offer a no worries, 100 day return policy on all of our gloves.
Brett
hi is this a baseball or sodtball model? Would you recomkend for a pitcher? Ron
This can be used for baseball or softball. However, it has a standard size pocket and may be easier to use in baseball. It has a closed web and would make a very good glove for a pitcher.
John
I am a senior pitcher/ 3rd basemen and I am going to be playing in college. Would you recommend this glove, the 12'' Tribal Series glove, or another glove? I don't really want to break the bank... ... Taylor
I would highly recommend the Tribal Series AMG1200TRMT for use on the mound and 3rd base. The tribal series is a great glove. It uses high quality leather that will hold its shape well over time.
Mark
Hi I wonder if they send to Argentina and what it would cost Pablo
We do not. We only ship within the U.S.
Brett
Does it come in 11.75 Jim
This specific model does not come in a 11.75 inch size.
Brett
how do i identiify this as a fastpitch glove? eli
All fastpitch gloves on our website will say 'fastpitch' in the name of the glove. All of the ones that do not say this in the name of the glove will be a baseball glove. Baseball gloves will have smaller pockets than fastpitch gloves.
Brett
All fastpitch softball gloves will have the word "fastpitch" in the product name. This glove is not designed as a true fastpitch glove, but there is nothing that says it can't be used as such. For all our true fastpitch gloves, you can click the "Female Fast Pitch Glove" option under the "Shop by Type" section.
Brett
i am 13 and i play on a club team. i am a outfielder is this a good glove for the outfield? thanks JJ
Yes, this would be a good glove for you in the outfield. Most outfielders use 12.00-12.50 inch gloves. This is going to be a glove that is durable walnut cowhide and buckaroo leather.
Brett
For a 13 year old, a 12 to 12.5 inch glove is most common in the outfield. This would be a good option for you at this time. Most High Schoolers use a 12.5 or 12.75 glove in the outfield. If you plan on using your glove throughout High School, you may want to look at a 12.5 inch glove.
Brett
My 16 yr old daughter plays competitive travel fast-pitch softball. She is a short-stop 75% other position are 2nd. Looking for a glove to last her a life time .Which glove do you recommend ? playball
I would recommend a 11.75-12.25 inch fastpitch glove. All of out fastpitch gloves will be indicated with fastpitch in the name of the glove. This glove would work, but it does have a smaller pocket and the hand stall might be a little bigger because most use this glove for baseball.
Brett
I saw in the video there is a trapeze style glove. Do you offer that glove in the kimera series or was it just in the video Mike
We do not have that type of web in the Kimera, we do have that style in the Walnut, Tribal and Bloodline series.
KG
My son is currently 8 years old (turns 9 in February) and will play on a 9U travel team this spring. He is 4'9" / 100 lbs with pretty good sized hands for his age, and will likely play outfield & pitcher. Will this glove work for a player his age or should I be looking for a youth model? I also have the same questions about the Nokona Tribal Series: AMG1200TRMT. Thanks. Rob
You can never go wrong with Nokona, awesome gloves. Nokona tends to run a tiny bit on the small side, so I wouldn't worry about a youth glove. Also, the Kangaroo is the lightest weight leather there is, great for infielders.
