Akadema® continues to revolutionize the glove industry with its unique position by position patented technology gloves. The Reptilian Claw ™ continues the evolution and is the most innovative outfield glove on the market today. The Reptilian Claw™ was designed specifically for an outfielder to raise his performance on the field.

For years professional outfielders have been forcing their five fingers into three small fingerstalls as well as fabricating an artificial hinge into the thumb area for their gloves to create a deeper pocket and easier close. In response the patent pending Reptilian Claw™ offers three wider finger stalls which are much larger than a regular glove as well as a Doubleflexed Hinge™ for easier collapse points in the pocket. These unique features allow for more comfort, easier closing and increased pocket size. The Reptilian Claw™ is made of top US Steerhide with 1/4\" rawhide lacing and has a modified Flytrap ™ web design.

Much like in the insect world where the Praying Mantis is known to devour it\'s competition, Akadema\'s new catcher\'s mitt will do the same to conventional catcher\'s mitts. The Akadema patent pending Praying Mantis is the most innovative catcher\'s mitt ever to hit the market, with many unique features setting it apart from the competition. With new patent pending \"Stress Wedge\" technology, located between the index finger and thumb, the Praying Mantis offers shock absorbing protection for the hand against injury and sting when receiving the ball. The Praying Mantis also offers two additional \"Finger Hammocks\" allowing the fingers to be firmly positioned and more secure in the glove. Additional features include the \"Double-sided Slim Padding\" allowing for increased pocket size and easier ball retention. Uniquely designed shape allows the throwing hand easier access into the pocket, resulting in a quicker glove to hand transfer and faster times to second base. The Praying Mantis also features a \"Double Flexhinge\" which makes the glove snap closed on contact.

The Akadema Precision APM41 Praying Mantis catchers mitt is a 33 inch circumference catchers glove, has a Spiral-Lock web for excellent ball retention, a deep pocket and an open back.
