FAQs
Can I use these gloves on artificial turf?
While you can, URG 2.0 latex is soft and will wear out significantly faster on abrasive artificial surfaces compared to natural grass.
How long should the grip last?
Grip longevity depends on technique, frequency of play, and field surface. Proper washing and care will maximize the life of the latex.
Are these gloves machine washable?
No. Machine washing will damage the latex and the knit structure. Always hand wash in lukewarm water.
What does the negative cut feel like?
The negative cut feels very snug and tight, providing maximum surface area for the fingers to contact the ball.
Does the strapless wrist stay secure?
Yes, the Corespun 2.0 knit is engineered specifically to provide enough compression to stay locked on the wrist without needing a traditional strap.
Troubleshooting
Latex feels slick or slippery
The gloves likely have factory residue or dried-on dirt; perform a thorough hand wash and ensure the palm is slightly damp during use.
Wrist entry feels too tight
Ensure you are using the designated pull tabs or grip points to stretch the knit naturally over your hand; avoid yanking the main body of the glove.
Early signs of palm abrasion
Avoid using the palms to push yourself up off the ground after a dive; try to use the back of your fists or palms to protect the grip surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these gloves feature a compressive, strapless entry, ensure you ease your hand into the glove gently to avoid straining the knit structure. For optimal longevity, dampen the latex palm slightly with water before use to activate the grip. After every session, wash the gloves with lukewarm water and a mild, glove-specific cleaner to remove sweat and field debris. Never machine wash the gloves, and always air dry them away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can cause the latex to dry out and become brittle. Store them flat in a glove bag, ensuring the palm surfaces do not touch each other while drying.
