Bruce Bolt Enters Football With Tackified Glove-Sleeve System
Austin – September 18, 2026 -- Bruce Bolt, the brand known for reshaping the baseball batting glove market, is launching its first football gear on October 12, with a skill glove and arm sleeve priced from $60 to $85.
The BOLTGRIP SYSTEM pairs a skill glove with the first SFIA-approved tackified arm sleeve.
The two products are designed to work together, extending tackified material from the palm up through the forearm and bicep to create three connected grip points for catching, carrying and protecting the ball.
Bear Mayer says the expansion fulfills a longtime personal goal.
"Although I grew up playing baseball, football has always been a deep passion of mine, and expanding into the sport is something I've wanted to do for a long time," said Bear Mayer, Founder and CEO of Bruce Bolt. The company previously moved into golf gloves last summer, nearly a decade after entering baseball.
