adidas Predator Training Goalkeeper Gloves Juniors - Black

While designed primarily for training, the adidas Predator Training Goalkeeper Gloves offer reliable performance suitable for junior-level competitive matches due to their `Soft Grip latex` and durable construction.

The `Positive Cut palm` means the stitching is on the outside of the glove, resulting in a slightly looser fit and a larger contact surface between the palm and the ball, providing comfort and a good feel for the ball.

It is recommended to clean your gloves after every use, especially if they have been used in muddy or wet conditions. Regular cleaning maintains the `Soft Grip latex` and prolongs the lifespan of the gloves.

Yes, the `Soft Grip latex` is engineered to provide reliable grip in both wet and dry conditions, making them versatile for various weather scenarios.

To choose the correct size, measure the circumference of your dominant hand just below the knuckles, excluding your thumb. Then, measure from the base of your palm to the tip of your middle finger. Compare these measurements to adidas's specific junior sizing chart, which can usually be found on the product page or brand's website. The gloves should fit snugly but not restrict movement.

The body of the gloves is made from 100% polyurethane, with `Soft Grip latex` on the palm. The backhand features textile rubber with a `High Definition Texture`, and the product is made in part with recycled materials.

The `Soft Grip latex` performs best when slightly damp. Before play, lightly dampen the palms with water. Also, ensure the gloves are clean; dirt and grass can significantly reduce grip. Wash them thoroughly after each use.

Check your sizing. While these are junior gloves, different hand sizes exist. Ensure the `halfwrap elastic strap` is adjusted correctly – snug enough for support but not overly tight. If the discomfort persists, the size might be incorrect.

Odor is usually caused by bacteria from sweat. Always air out your gloves immediately after use. Regular and thorough cleaning, as per the care instructions, is crucial. You can also lightly spray the inside with an anti-odor spray designed for sports equipment, ensuring it doesn't affect the latex.
