FAQs
What is a Negative Cut?
A Negative Cut means the stitching is on the inside of the glove, resulting in a tighter, snugger fit that maximizes contact between your hand and the ball. It creates a 'second-skin' feel favored by many goalkeepers.
Are these gloves suitable for wet weather?
Yes, these gloves feature 'elite-tier Cyclone wet-weather latex' which provides 'great' performance in wet conditions, in addition to 'elite' performance in dry conditions. They are designed to maintain excellent grip regardless of the weather.
How do I clean my One Glove OG1 Doubters?
After use, gently hand wash the gloves with lukewarm water and a specialized glove cleaner or mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents to preserve the latex.
Can I remove the wrist strap?
Yes, the One Glove OG1 Doubters come with an elasticated, double-wrap strap that is fully removable. This allows you to customize the level of wrist support and the fit to your personal preference.
What is Echo Form 2.0 technology?
Echo Form 2.0 refers to strategically placed silicone elements on the inside of the glove, at the fingertips, thumb, and palm. This technology is designed to prevent your hand from slipping inside the glove during play, ensuring maximum control and a secure fit.
How lightweight are these gloves?
The gloves feature a lightweight one-piece construction. For example, a size 9 glove weighs approximately 95g, contributing to enhanced agility and comfort without sacrificing protection or grip.
What is the difference between the OG1 and the GEO series?
The OG1 is described as the successor to the popular GEO series. It features tweaked composition and shaping of the UrgoTract material for a superior fit and feel, along with updated internal grip technology (Echo Form 2.0) and other streamlined aspects like the extended V-Palm construction.
Troubleshooting
Grip feels less effective than expected.
Ensure the latex palm is clean before and during play. Dirt and residue can reduce grip. If playing in wet conditions, a slight pre-wetting of the palms can activate the latex, as it's 'great in wet' but benefits from being damp, not soaked. Info needed: Specific recommendations for pre-wetting procedure.
Gloves feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Verify you have the correct size. The negative cut is designed to be snug and 'formfitting,' so a break-in period may be needed. If the discomfort persists, consider if a different cut (e.g., roll finger) might be more suitable for your hand shape, though this specific model is negative cut.
Internal hand slippage during saves.
Confirm the `Echo Form 2.0` internal silicone elements are clean and free of debris. Ensure the `X-Wrap` and wrist strap (if used) are secured properly to lock the hand in place. A slightly damp hand can sometimes also help engage the internal grip technology.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent grip in both dry and wet conditions due to Cyclone latex.
- Snug, second-skin fit minimizes distractions and maximizes feel.
- Lightweight and breathable design for enhanced comfort and agility.
- Internal grip technology (Echo Form 2.0) prevents hand slippage inside the glove.
- Customizable wrist support with a removable double-wrap strap.
Cons
- Durability, while good, is not explicitly stated as 'excellent' or 'outstanding,' suggesting moderate wear over time.
- The elite-tier latex requires diligent cleaning and proper storage to maintain optimal performance and longevity.
- The negative cut provides a tight fit which may not be preferred by all goalkeepers who favor a looser glove style.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Preparation: Ensure your hands are clean and dry before putting on the gloves.
- Entry: Gently insert your hand into the glove, ensuring fingers are fully seated within the finger stalls of the negative cut. The `Quantum Elastic` wrist entry is designed for a clean and comfortable entry.
- Strap Adjustment: The gloves come with an elasticated, double-wrap strap that is removable. You can choose to use the strap for added wrist support and a tighter fit, or remove it for a less restrictive feel, depending on your preference. When using the strap, wrap it securely around your wrist without over-tightening to allow for circulation and flexibility.
Compatibility
These gloves are suitable for goalkeepers at various levels, from dedicated youth players (as suggested by 'ONE Kids OG1 Doubters' variant) to adult professionals seeking high-performance match gloves. Their 'elite-tier' grip makes them ideal for competitive match play and serious training sessions. The negative cut is generally preferred by goalkeepers who favor a tighter fit and increased ball feel.
Care
- Cleaning: After use, gently wipe off any visible dirt or mud. For deeper cleaning, wash the gloves by hand using lukewarm water and a specialized glove wash or mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
- Drying: Never wring the gloves. Squeeze out excess water and allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can damage the latex.
- Storage: Store the gloves flat, palm to palm, in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding them or placing heavy objects on top, which can cause creases in the latex.
- Longevity: The 'good durability' of the latex is maintained through consistent cleaning and proper storage. Avoiding abrasive surfaces (e.g., concrete) can also significantly extend the life of the palm.
