Goal Keeper Gloves

All soccer goal keepers need to wear gloves in order to get a good grip on the ball, and they also protect and cushion the palms and fingers to avoid hand injuries.Gloves are made of two parts, palms and closures. The palm is the most important part of the glove as it is where most of the protection is needed.

The grip depends on the material of the goal keeper glove, most are made from smooth latex which has the best grip, but some are made from textured latex which offers more durability but less grip.
The better the glove, the quicker it will wear out but most are still usable until all the material has worn away.

Closures of gloves include:

• Hook and loop
• V-notch
• Bandage

It doesn’t matter too much about the style of closure you choose, it is mostly about personal taste. When picking the right size, most goal keepers wear gloves that are a little larger to give them a bigger surface area. Glove size corresponds with shoe size, and come in whole sizes only, so if you are between sizes then always pick the bigger glove.Make sure that you measure your hands before purchasing new gloves!
