There is some wear and tear, but the shape is good, and the core is firm, so this glove can still be used. ● Catching surface: No noticeable deterioration. ● Back: No noticeable damage. ● Welt: Some wear and tear on the hand-care area only. ● No tears in the easily damaged finger crotch area. ● No other damage of concern. ● No noticeable odor. I also have other gloves and mitts for sale, so please take a look if you'd like.
