FAQs

How do I ensure the best grip with these gloves?

The structured palm is designed for optimal grip on dry surfaces. For best results, ensure the palm is clean and free of dirt. In some conditions, lightly misting the palm with water can enhance tackiness, but always follow the care instructions to avoid damage.

Are these gloves suitable for all weather conditions?

These gloves are primarily designed for optimal performance on dry to slightly damp surfaces. Grip performance can be significantly reduced in heavy rain or very wet conditions.

How often should I clean my goalkeeper gloves?

It is recommended to clean your gloves after each use to remove dirt and sweat. This helps maintain the palm's grip and prolongs the life of the glove.

What is the main benefit of the adjustable wrist strap?

The adjustable wrist strap provides a secure and customized fit, ensuring the glove remains stable on your hand during intense movements and powerful saves, preventing slippage.

Can I machine wash these gloves?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, particularly the palm's grip and the padding. Hand wash gently with cool water and mild soap if necessary, and always air dry.

How do I know if I have the right size gloves?

A properly fitting glove should feel snug but not tight, with no excess material at the fingertips or looseness around the palm and wrist. The wrist strap should secure the glove comfortably without restricting blood flow.

Troubleshooting

Glove feels too loose or slips during play.

Re-adjust the hook-and-loop wrist strap for a tighter, more secure fit. Ensure the correct size was selected initially.

Reduced grip on the ball.

Ensure the palm is clean and free of dirt. If playing in dry conditions, consider lightly dampening the palm with water to enhance tackiness (check manufacturer recommendations for specific products). If playing in wet conditions, understand that grip will naturally be reduced.

Stitching appears to be coming undone.

Inspect the stitching carefully. Minor fraying may not affect performance, but significant loosening should be addressed by a professional or considered for replacement.

Discomfort or chafing on the wrist.

Ensure the wrist strap is not overtightened. Check for any internal seams or rough patches that might be causing irritation and try adjusting the fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Fit Adjustment: Slide your hand into the glove. Adjust the hook-and-loop wrist strap until it feels snug and secure, without restricting circulation. Ensure the glove fits comfortably and does not feel loose.

Compatibility:

  • These gloves are designed for use on traditional grass pitches and artificial turf.
  • Performance may vary on significantly wet or muddy surfaces.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After use, gently clean the palm with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive materials.
  • Drying: Air dry the gloves away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight) to prevent the material from drying out and cracking. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  • Storage: Store the gloves in a cool, dry place, ideally in a glove bag, to protect them from dust and damage.
