Full details

FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for artificial grass?

While they perform well on all surfaces, note that artificial turf is more abrasive than natural grass and may increase the rate of wear on the latex.

How do I maintain the grip of the URG 2.0 latex?

Keep the palms slightly damp during use and ensure they are cleaned of mud or debris immediately after each match.

Can I machine wash these gloves?

No, machine washing can damage the latex and structural integrity of the glove. Always hand wash them.

What is the purpose of the Mechano fabric?

The Mechano fabric is a lightweight, breathable textile used on the backhand to keep your hands cool and comfortable during intense play.

Does the thumb have extra protection?

The gloves feature a full latex thumb design which increases the surface area for gripping the ball.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel slippery during initial use

This is often due to factory residue. Thoroughly rinse the latex palms with lukewarm water to activate the grip.

Latex starting to show signs of wear

Ensure you are not using the palms to push yourself off the ground. Always use the back of your hand when getting up after a dive.

Wrist strap feels loose during play

Check that the strap is not obstructed by debris and ensure the hook-and-loop closure is fully aligned to maintain tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your adidas Predator Competition gloves, proper care is essential:

  1. Pre-Wash: Before the first use, wash the gloves with lukewarm water to remove any factory finish and activate the latex grip.
  2. Cleaning: Hand wash after every use using cool water. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as these can strip the latex of its tackiness.
  3. Drying: Air dry the gloves away from direct sunlight or heat sources like radiators, which can cause the latex to crack.
  4. Storage: Store the gloves in a cool, dry place. Keep the palms from touching each other when stored, as the latex can stick together and tear when pulled apart.
