Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for wet weather?

Yes, the 2.5mm ultra-soft latex foam is designed to provide superior grip in both wet and dry conditions.

How do I ensure the correct fit?

The gloves are designed for a 'second-skin' fit; use the adjustable wristband to secure the glove, ensuring it sits snugly against the palm without restricting circulation.

Can I wash these in a machine?

No, it is recommended to hand wash these gloves to protect the integrity of the latex palm and the stretch fabric.

Are these suitable for cold weather?

While they provide some wind protection due to the nylon backhand, they are not insulated for extreme cold.

Why is the latex palm so thin?

The 2.5mm thickness is a deliberate choice to prioritize feel and ball control over heavy bulk or impact protection.

Troubleshooting

Grip feels less effective over time

Clean the latex palm with water to remove accumulated dirt and dust, which can clog the foam's surface.

Wristband does not stay secure

Check the Velcro surface for debris or fiber buildup and clean it with a small brush to restore adhesion.

Glove feels damp after the game

Turn the gloves inside out slightly and allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area for faster moisture evaporation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your ATAK Air Gaelic Gloves, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Fitting: Adjust the wrist strap to your preferred tension before starting your warm-up to ensure the glove doesn't shift during play.
  2. Cleaning: Gently hand wash the gloves using lukewarm water and a mild, non-abrasive soap. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach, as these can degrade the latex palm.
  3. Drying: Air dry the gloves in a shaded area away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources like radiators. High heat can cause the latex to crack or lose its grip.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them crumpled in a sports bag, as this can compress the latex material over time.
