It has a Vaseline feel to it, in fact Vaseline would also work. I just like using Obenauf's. It takes a VERY small amount, VERY thin coat! And it doesn't change the feel of the glove any.Thanks for all that info. She is going to work with the 12.75 BB glove. We can hang on to the other for awhile. I know we could work in both (100 day return), but it just feels wrong to return a used glove unless the one just doesn't work out. Will definitely look into treating the inside palm when time calls for it. Humidity and sweat will definitely be an issue. I've never used that stuff, I assume it goes on soft and hardens to provide a protective barrier, but hopefully doesn't change the feel much.
