Performance & care guide
What makes these gloves different from other professional goalkeeper gloves?
The Elite Sport gloves feature exclusive palm technology developed through extensive testing with Thibaut Courtois, incorporating a unique latex compound that provides superior grip in all weather conditions. They offer superior ball control, impact absorption, and a customized fit. Each pair is individually numbered and undergoes rigorous quality control.
How long do gloves typically last?
With proper care and regular maintenance, gloves maintain optimal performance for 15-20 professional matches or 25-30 training sessions. The advanced latex composition is designed to retain grip properties longer than standard goalkeeper gloves, making them a superior investment for serious goalkeepers.
How to take care of goalkeeper gloves?
Follow these rules:
- Clean palms with lukewarm water after each use
- Avoid direct sunlight when drying
- Store in the provided protective case with palms facing upward
- Use included regeneration liquid every 3-4 uses
- Never machine wash or dry clean
How to choose the right size for goalkeeper gloves?
Measure the circumference of your palm just below the knuckles, excluding the thumb.
Consult our size chart to find your perfect fit.
How should goalkeeper gloves fit properly?
Gloves should fit snugly but not tight, with about 1/4 inch (0.5cm) of space at the fingertips. The material shouldn’t bunch up significantly when making a fist. Measure your hand from wrist to tip of the middle finger and use the manufacturer’s size chart for best results.
Should I wet my goalkeeper gloves before use?
Yes, lightly dampening your gloves before use can improve grip, especially with professional-grade latex palms. However:
- Use clean water only
- Avoid soaking them completely
- Pat dry after use
- Don’t wet wash-worn areas of the palm
What's the difference between negative cut and roll finger cut?
Negative-cut gloves have seams sewn on the inside, providing a tighter fit and better feel for the ball. Roll-finger cuts wrap around the fingers for a larger contact area with the ball and are generally more durable. Personal preference and hand shape should guide your choice.
Are these gloves suitable for all weather conditions?
Yes, the gloves are designed to perform in various weather conditions. They incorporate moisture-wicking technology for hot days and provide excellent grip in wet conditions. The specialized palm material maintains its tackiness across a wide temperature range.
