Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
- Activate Latex: Before first use, and before every match or training session, lightly dampen the palm of the gloves with clean water. This activates the natural tackiness of the latex, maximizing grip performance.
- Proper Fit: Gently pull the gloves onto your hands. The `Negative Cut` is designed for a snug fit. Ensure your fingers reach the ends of the glove without feeling cramped, and that the wrist closure provides secure support.
Compatibility
These gloves are designed for high-level soccer performance across all playing surfaces and weather conditions. The `ELITE+ latex` is versatile, offering excellent grip in both wet and dry environments, making them suitable for training and competitive matches year-round.
Care & Maintenance
Proper care is essential to prolong the life and performance of your gloves:
- Rinse Immediately After Use: After every session, rinse your gloves under lukewarm water. Gently rub the palms together to remove dirt, grass, and sweat. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Do Not Use Harsh Chemicals: Never use soap, detergents, or chemical cleaners, as these can strip the latex of its natural properties and cause it to dry out or crack.
- Gently Squeeze Dry: Do not wring or twist the gloves. Gently squeeze out excess water.
- Air Dry: Always allow the gloves to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct sunlight, radiators, or other heat sources, as extreme heat can severely damage the latex.
- Store Properly: Once completely dry, store the gloves flat or rolled with the palms facing each other to prevent the latex from sticking. A glove bag can help protect them from dirt and keep them slightly moist. Avoid folding the palms sharply.
- Regular Maintenance: Consistent cleaning and proper storage will maintain the latex's performance and extend the lifespan of your gloves.
