About BRUCE BOLT

BRUCE BOLT is a family-owned and operated sports performance brand based in Austin, Texas. Founded in 2017 by 16-year-old baseball player Bear Mayer, the company began with a simple goal: to create better batting gloves. Today, BRUCE BOLT is known for premium products that combine thoughtful design, exceptional materials, and small-batch craftsmanship.

Our mantra, “Be Better,” guides everything we do—from product development and customer experience to our operations and support of the baseball community. We’re building a team of driven, collaborative people who take pride in their work, embrace continuous improvement, and want to help athletes perform at their best.
