FAQs
How do I ensure the best grip from the Ultimate Grip latex?
The Ultimate Grip latex performs best when clean and slightly conditioned. After rinsing with cold water, the grip should be restored. Avoid using any cleaning products that are not specifically designed for goalkeeper gloves.
What is the advantage of the Negative Cut?
The Negative Cut features seams that are sewn on the inside, resulting in a tighter, more form-fitting glove. This design enhances ball sensitivity and control, allowing for a more precise feel.
Can I use these gloves in very cold weather?
Yes, the 4mm Ultimate Grip latex is designed to perform well in both wet and dry conditions, which includes cold temperatures. However, extreme cold can make any latex material less pliable.
How often should I wash my goalkeeper gloves?
It is recommended to rinse your gloves with cold water after every use. A more thorough wash with a specialized glove cleaner should be done periodically, depending on how dirty they become.
Will the breathable backhand make a difference?
Yes, the lightweight textile backhand is designed to allow air circulation, keeping your hands cooler and more comfortable during intense activity, reducing sweat buildup.
What is the Twin Thumbwrap feature?
The Twin Thumbwrap is an extension of the latex palm that wraps around both sides of the thumb, providing a larger catching area and increased comfort and security for the thumb.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or restrictive
The negative cut is designed for a very snug fit. Ensure your hands are properly positioned within the gloves. If discomfort persists, consider if this cut is suitable for your preferred fit.
Reduced grip after first few uses
Ensure the latex palm is clean. Wash gently with cold water and allow to air dry completely. Avoid touching the palm with dirty hands or surfaces.
Latex showing signs of wear quickly
Avoid excessive friction against rough surfaces and always use the gloves as intended for catching and handling the ball. Follow the care instructions diligently.
Difficulty putting gloves on
Ensure your hands are clean and dry when putting them on. The snug fit means a little effort is sometimes required. Do not force them on; ensure your fingers are fully extended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup:
- Unboxing: Carefully remove the gloves from their packaging.
- Sizing: Ensure the gloves fit snugly but comfortably. The negative cut is designed for a close fit, so there should be minimal excess material.
- Pre-Use Preparation: Some goalkeepers prefer to lightly moisten the latex palm before first use for optimal tackiness, though this is optional.
Compatibility:
These gloves are designed for use on football (soccer) pitches. They are compatible with standard goalkeeper training and match play scenarios.
Care Instructions:
Proper care is essential to maintain the performance of the Ultimate Grip latex:
- Cleaning: After each use, rinse the gloves with cold or lukewarm water to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh soaps or detergents.
- Washing: If deeper cleaning is needed, use a mild glove cleaner specifically designed for goalkeeper gloves. Gently scrub the palm with a soft cloth or sponge.
- Drying: Pat the gloves dry with a towel. Allow them to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators or dryers), as heat can degrade the latex.
- Storage: Store the gloves in a cool, dry place, ideally in a glove bag or a well-ventilated area. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, which can trap moisture.
