FAQs
What is the main benefit of the flat cut design?
The flat cut design offers an optimum fit and stability, which guarantees long-term, constant ball contact and enhanced control for the goalkeeper.
How does the finger protection system work?
The finger protection system provides added safety by reinforcing the fingers against impact. While specific details aren't provided, it's integrated into the glove's construction to offer protection without significantly compromising flexibility.
What material is the palm made of?
The palm is constructed from 3mm Zohonero latex, known for its durability and reliable grip.
How should I dry my goalkeeper gloves?
Always air dry your gloves naturally at room temperature. Avoid using heat sources like radiators, hairdryers, or direct sunlight, as these can damage the materials.
Can these gloves be used in wet weather?
The 3mm Zohonero palm generally offers good grip in various conditions, but these gloves are not specifically designed for extreme wet weather. It's recommended to keep the palm clean and dry for best performance.
What is the purpose of the Coolair mesh fabric?
The Coolair mesh underhand fabric is designed to provide ventilation and breathability, helping to keep the goalkeeper's hands cool and reduce sweating during play.
How do I ensure a secure fit?
The gloves feature a fully elasticated wristband and a double touch fastener. Adjust these to provide a snug and supportive fit around your wrist, ensuring the glove feels secure during all movements.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or restrictive.
Ensure the wrist strap is adjusted to a comfortable level. If the gloves are new, they may require a short break-in period. Check that you have the correct size.
Reduced grip on the ball.
Clean the palm with a damp cloth to remove dirt or sweat buildup. Ensure the gloves are not overly dry; a slightly damp palm can sometimes improve grip. Avoid using silicone sprays or similar products unless specifically recommended for your glove model.
Discomfort in the fingers.
The finger protection system may need a brief adjustment period. Ensure the gloves are the correct size and that your fingers are fully seated within the finger spines. If discomfort persists, consult with a coach or equipment specialist.
Sweaty hands during play.
The Coolair mesh underhand fabric is designed for breathability. Ensure the gloves are not too tight, which can impede airflow. Allow gloves to fully dry after use to prevent moisture buildup.

Compatibility: These gloves are designed for adult goalkeepers and are compatible with standard football play on grass or artificial turf. They are not specifically designed for extreme conditions (e.g., heavy rain, icy surfaces) beyond normal play.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Loops Goal Keeping Gloves:
- Cleaning: After each use, gently clean the gloves with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners. For tougher grime, use a mild soap diluted with water and wipe clean.
- Drying: Allow the gloves to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do NOT use direct heat sources such as radiators, hairdryers, or direct sunlight, as this can damage the latex palm and synthetic materials.
- Storage: Store the gloves in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It is recommended to store them loosely rather than tightly balled up to help them retain their shape. Some goalkeepers prefer to store them in a glove bag.
- Palm Care: For optimal grip, ensure the palm is clean and free from excessive moisture or dryness. Some goalkeepers use glove care products specifically designed for goalkeeper gloves, but always follow product instructions carefully.
