Full details

The adidas Predator Match GK Gloves are designed for amateur and intermediate goalkeepers seeking reliable grip and comfort.

FAQs

What type of latex is used on the palm?

The gloves feature the Soft Grip Pro latex formula, which is designed to offer reliable grip and cushioning in various conditions.

Are these gloves suitable for wet weather?

The Soft Grip Pro latex offers reliable performance in many conditions, including slightly damp weather. However, for extremely wet conditions, grip might be slightly reduced compared to specialized wet-weather gloves.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure the length from the tip of your middle finger to the base of your palm. Compare this measurement to the brand's sizing chart. The gloves should fit snugly but comfortably, without excessive looseness or tightness.

Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash goalkeeper gloves. Hand wash them with cold water and mild soap only, and air dry them naturally.

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

These elements are designed to provide enhanced grip and control when punching the ball, offering stability and confidence during clearances.

Are these gloves recommended for professional players?

The adidas Predator Match GK Gloves are best suited for amateur and intermediate goalkeepers. Professional players may require gloves with more advanced features and higher durability.

What does 'Half-negative' cut refer to?

The 'Half-negative' cut typically refers to a combination of finger cuts, often with some fingers featuring a negative seam construction (stitching inside) for a snugger fit, and others possibly flat or roll finger. This aims to balance a tight feel with comfort and ball control.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or uncomfortable

Adjust the half-wrap strap for a more personalized fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size. If they consistently feel too small, consider trying a larger size.

Reduced grip after initial use

Clean the latex palm with cold water to remove any dirt or sweat residue that might be affecting grip. Ensure the gloves are fully dry before use.

Latex peeling or tearing

This can occur with excessive wear or improper care. Ensure you are following the care instructions, particularly regarding drying and storage. For minor peeling, cleaning might help restore some tackiness.

Backhand feels stiff

The ribbed mesh backhand is designed to offer support and may feel stiff initially. With use and proper care, it will become more pliable while maintaining its supportive structure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable grip in various conditions due to Soft Grip Pro latex.
  • Comfortable and breathable mesh body.
  • Secure fit with the half-wrap strap closure.
  • Good support and stability for punching.
  • Features extended grip on the thumb.

Cons

  • May not be as durable as professional-level gloves.
  • Soft Grip Pro latex can wear faster with frequent intense use.
  • Limited advanced features compared to higher-tier models.
  • Best performance in dry or slightly damp conditions; extreme wetness might affect grip slightly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves are ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure the half-wrap strap is adjusted for a snug but comfortable fit around your wrist. The fit should be secure without restricting blood flow.

Compatibility: Designed for use by goalkeepers of all levels during football (soccer) training and matches. They are suitable for natural grass and artificial turf pitches.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, gently clean the gloves with cold water. Use a mild soap specifically designed for goalkeeper gloves or a very mild detergent if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Never dry gloves on a radiator, in direct sunlight, or using a machine dryer, as this can damage the latex. Air dry them naturally at room temperature, away from heat sources. You can stuff them with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
  3. Storage: Store the gloves in a cool, dry place, preferably in a glove bag, to protect them from dust and damage. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, which can trap moisture.
