Description
Partnering with global footwear company ECCO, Wilson is taking glove innovation to the next level with the Pro Yak Series. Made from the skin of Himalayan Yak, ECCO and Wilson discovered that yak leather has extraordinary strength and durability. This strength has been one of the best kept secrets in the industry, until now. In fact, due to the rugged and rough terrain that yak live in, this leather is up to 3x stronger than cowhide! This allows Wilson to skive the hide thinner, providing players with a much lighter and more manageable glove. It also makes for a quicker break-in and a soft, game-ready feel right off the shelf... without sacrificing any durability! With 2x Palm Construction, the Pro Yak Series features a thin strategically cut piece of leather between the palm liner and outer shell, providing maximum padding and pocket stability. A lower profile heel makes the glove more flexible and opens up the palm and pocket to make the glove more forgiving on bad-hop grounders. These Pro Stock patterns are exclusively hand designed by the Wilson Advisory Staff to make sure these gloves have top of the line quality. Wilson: Official Ball Glove of Major League Baseball!

What would you consider a better glove for my 13 yr old son that plays short stop. This Wilson Pro Soft Yak Series: BB1786 or the Mizuno Classic Pro Soft Series: GCP65S. Carl
The basic designs of these gloves is very similar. I would lean toward this one, the Wilson.

Does this glove have fur on the inside, and does it have that rich smell of cowhide. Is it easy to break in? Carla
The glove doesn't have fur inside. It is high quality and has a fresh leather smell.

Will this gloves leather feel like a ruff leather or a regular smooth soft leather because in the picture of the glove the outside looks a little wringgly? a2000

Tyler
My son is 10 and plays 3rd base and pitcher. Is this a better option for him than the Yak 11.75" model? He tried on the 11.75" model at a store and loved it, but I am afraid that one is too big for him. PBS
Since your son is just 10 years old the Wilson Pro Soft Yak Series: BB1786 would be better for him than the 11.75" model.
Noah
Which glove will be more durable and hold its' shape longer: the Wilson 6-4-3 series, or the Wilson Pro Soft Yak Series? Does this glove include Dri-Lex wrist lining? Evan
The Wilson Pro Soft Yak Series (BB1786) would be more durable and hold its' shape better than the Wilson 6-4-3 Series gloves. Also, the Pro Soft Yak Series will not feature the Dri-Lex lining.
