FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Soft Grip Pro latex?

The Soft Grip Pro latex is designed to offer reliable grip and good cushioning in various weather conditions, ensuring consistent ball control.

How do I ensure the best grip from my gloves?

Keep the latex clean by wiping with a damp cloth after use and allow them to air dry naturally. Avoid harsh chemicals and excessive heat.

Can these gloves be used on artificial turf?

While they can be used on artificial turf, it is not recommended for prolonged use as it can cause premature wear to the latex palm and stitching compared to natural grass.

What does 'Half-Negative Cut' mean?

The Half-Negative Cut is a hybrid cut that typically involves latex panels sewn inside-out (negative) for a snug fit, combined with external seams (flat cut) for durability and comfort. It aims for a balance between close ball feel and a comfortable fit.

Are these gloves suitable for professional matches?

The Predator Match gloves are designed for training and amateur match play. While they offer good performance, professional-level goalkeepers often require gloves with more advanced materials and specialized features.

How should I store my goalkeeper gloves?

It's best to store them in a cool, dry place. You can loosely roll them or place them in a breathable bag to maintain their shape and prevent the latex from sticking together.

What is the purpose of the latex grip elements on the thumb?

These elements are added to provide extra grip and control specifically to the thumb area, which is crucial for handling the ball securely during various actions like catching, controlling, and distribution.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or too loose.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try adjusting the half-wrap strap for a more secure fit. If consistently ill-fitting, consider a different size or model.

Reduced grip on the ball.

Clean the latex palm with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Ensure the gloves are properly dried after use and not stored while damp. Avoid contact with oily substances.

Latex peeling or cracking.

This may indicate over-exposure to heat or improper drying. Always air dry at room temperature and avoid direct heat. Excessive use on abrasive surfaces like artificial turf can also contribute to wear.

Stitching coming undone.

Inspect the stitching after heavy use. Minor fraying can sometimes be trimmed, but significant unraveling may indicate a need for replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable grip in various conditions due to Soft Grip Pro latex.
  • Comfortable and breathable thanks to the mesh body.
  • Secure fit provided by the half-wrap strap.
  • Enhanced support and grip on the backhand.
  • Good value for training and amateur match play.

Cons

  • May not offer the same durability as higher-end professional gloves.
  • The half-negative cut might feel slightly less snug for some hand shapes.
  • Latex elements, while beneficial for grip, require specific care to maintain performance.
  • Designed for general use, might lack specialized features for advanced goalkeepers.
  • Color may show dirt more readily.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Try On: Ensure the gloves fit snugly but comfortably. The fingers should reach the end of the glove fingers, and there should be no excessive tightness or looseness.
  2. Adjust Strap: Secure the half-wrap strap around your wrist for a locked-in feel.

Compatibility:

These gloves are designed for use on natural grass pitches. While they can be used on artificial turf, prolonged use may accelerate latex wear.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After each use, gently clean the gloves with a damp cloth or sponge to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh soaps or detergents.
  • Drying: Air dry the gloves naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the latex.
  • Storage: Store the gloves in a cool, dry place, preferably in a mesh bag or loosely rolled, to maintain their shape and prevent the latex from sticking together.
