FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for very young children just starting Gaelic football?

Yes, the Junior - 4 / Under 8 sizing is specifically designed for younger players, offering a good balance of grip and comfort to help them learn and enjoy the game.

How do I know if I'm ordering the correct size?

This model is labeled 'Junior - 4 / Under 8', indicating it's designed for children typically under the age of 8. Refer to any available sizing charts for precise measurements if unsure.

Can I wear these gloves with a cast or brace?

Due to the snug, strapless fit and specialized design, these gloves are unlikely to accommodate a cast or brace comfortably or effectively.

What is the primary benefit of the finger inset design?

The finger inset is designed for superior ventilation, allowing air to circulate around the fingers. This helps to reduce moisture buildup and keep hands drier and more comfortable during play.

How often should I wash my gloves?

It's best to rinse them with cool water and let them air dry after each significant use. Deep cleaning with soap is generally not recommended unless absolutely necessary, and should be followed by thorough rinsing and drying.

Will the strapless design affect my grip on the ball?

No, the strapless design is intended to provide freedom of movement and prevent interference. The grip is primarily provided by the premium latex material on the palm, which is designed for maximum ball control.

Are these gloves suitable for sports other than Gaelic football?

While designed for Gaelic football, the enhanced grip and moisture-wicking properties might make them suitable for other sports requiring hand-eye coordination and ball handling, provided the fit is appropriate.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. For the Junior - 4 / Under 8 model, check the sizing guide. The latex will offer some give, but proper initial fit is crucial.

Reduced grip after playing in wet conditions.

After playing, gently rinse the gloves with cool water to remove mud or debris, then allow them to air dry completely. Avoid using soaps.

Strapless design feels insecure.

The elasticated wristband is designed to provide a snug fit. Ensure the glove is pulled on fully to engage the elasticated cuff properly.

Gloves smell after use.

Allow the gloves to air dry completely after each use. You can lightly dust the inside with talcum powder (avoiding direct contact with the latex palm) to help absorb moisture and odor, then shake out before next use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These gloves are designed for immediate use. Simply slide them onto the hands. Ensure a snug fit around the wrist area for optimal performance.

Compatibility: The strapless design is intentionally made to be compatible with most modern performance technology and smartwatches that feature wristbands. They will not interfere with these devices during play.

Care: To maintain the grip and longevity of your Murphy's Strapless Gaelic Gloves:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the gloves with a damp cloth after use. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these can degrade the latex.
  2. Drying: Air dry the gloves completely at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as excessive heat can damage the latex.
  3. Storage: Store the gloves in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Avoid folding them tightly; it's best to store them flat or loosely rolled.
