Product Information
Full details
The Murphys Gaelic Gloves are designed for competitive Gaelic football players who require enhanced ball control and grip during high-intensity matches. These gloves excel at providing a secure, sweat-free hold on the ball thanks to their moisture-wicking fabric and high-grip palm technology, though users should note that the integrated finger inserts provide a more rigid feel than standard athletic gloves.

FAQs
Are these gloves machine washable?
It is recommended to hand wash these gloves to maintain the integrity of the finger inserts and the specialized grip material.
Do the finger inserts provide significant protection?
Yes, they provide structural support and moderate protection against impact, though they are not a substitute for medical-grade bracing.
How do I choose the right size?
The gloves should fit snug like a second skin. Measure your hand from the base of your palm to the tip of your middle finger to determine your optimal fit.
Can these be used for other sports?
While designed for Gaelic football, the high-grip nature makes them suitable for other sports requiring ball handling, such as rugby or hurling.
What is the best way to dry them?
Always air dry the gloves in a well-ventilated area. Never place them on or near a heater or in a tumble dryer.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too stiff during the first use
The finger inserts require a short break-in period; wear them during training sessions to allow the materials to soften and conform to your hand shape.
Grip feels less effective over time
Dirt and oil buildup can diminish grip performance. Clean the palm area with a damp cloth or mild soapy water to restore the tackiness of the high-grip material.
Wrist strap keeps coming loose
Ensure the hook and loop closure is free of debris or lint, which can prevent the fasteners from gripping correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, secure the hook and loop fastener at the wrist snugly but without restricting circulation. The gloves should fit firmly against the palm without excess fabric bunching. For maintenance, hand wash the gloves in cool water with a mild detergent after games to preserve the grip technology. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach. Allow the gloves to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the grip material over time. Keep them away from abrasive surfaces to prevent the outer fabric from fraying.
