Technology
The Rawlings HOH Color Sync 7.0 gloves feature Heart of the Hide® ultra-premium steerhide leather, which is renowned for its durability and ability to form a perfect pocket. The gloves are also lined with deertanned cowhide and full-grain fingerback linings, providing a comfortable feel. The Thermoformed wrist lining is breathable and wicks away sweat to keep your hand dry. The gloves feature durable rawhide leather laces, which provide added strength and shape retention.
Who It’s For
These gloves are perfect for ages 11 and up who want to take their game to the next level. They are suitable for both infielders and outfielders who need a durable, comfortable, and well-designed glove. Here are the eight gloves in the series, and who they are best suited for:
- MT27 12.75″ (Trap-Eze web) – outfielders
- MT27 12.75″ (H-Web) – outfielders

Performance
The break-in rating for these gloves varies from 60% player, 40% factory to 65% player, 35% factory. The gloves are designed to be stiff out of the box, which allows for a more extended break-in period. However, once broken in, they provide an excellent level of performance, especially when it comes to catching fly balls or grounders.
Fit & Feel
The Rawlings HOH Color Sync 7.0 gloves provide an excellent feel, thanks to the materials used in their construction. They also feature a padded thumb sleeve, providing additional comfort and support. The sound they make when catching a ball is satisfying, with a loud pop that lets you know you’ve caught it perfectly.
Appearance
The Rawlings HOH Color Sync 7.0 gloves come in several different color combinations, from jet black with red and blue accents to croc-embossed black leather with cherry red palm/web. The gloves’ professional patterns and unique colors make them stand out on the field, and they’ll be sure to turn heads.
Overall, the Rawlings HOH Color Sync 7.0 gloves are an excellent choice for players who want a high-quality glove with a unique and eye-catching design. While they may take a little longer to break in, the gloves’ performance, feel, and sound make them a solid investment. That said, players who prefer a more classic look may want to consider the Rawlings Heart of the Hide gloves, which offer similar performance but with a more traditional appearance.
