Does My Glove Have a Warranty?

First and foremost not all gloves come with a warranty. For those that do, all Warranties go directly through the Glove Manufacturer not through Diamond Sport Gear. Once a glove has been used and/or conditioned we cannot take it back.

Does My Glove Have a Warranty?

The following companies offer Glove Warranties: Nokona, Wilson, Rawlings, Louisville Slugger, All Star & Diamond. There are certain rules for each brand to be eligible which are listed below. One common rule from all of them is DO NOT Bake or Steam Your Glove. It immediately VOIDS the Warranty!

How Do Warranties Work? What do I need?

  • You will need Valid proof of purchase or a copy of your receipt from an Authorized dealer (We are an Authorized Dealer for every brand we carry).
    • IMPORTANT NOTE: 3rd Party Sellers are NOT Authorized Dealers! This Includes Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Facebook, etc. If you are ever in question you can contact the Manufacturer of the model you are looking at and verify that the dealer you are wanting to buy from is in fact an Authorized Dealer.
  • You have 1 year from date of purchase
