Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Preparation: Ensure your hands are clean and dry before putting on the gloves.
- Slide On: Gently slide each hand into the glove, ensuring your fingers align correctly with the finger slots, especially with the Fingersave spines.
- Secure the Strap: Wrap the `half wrap wrist strap` firmly around your wrist. Adjust the tension to achieve a snug, comfortable fit that supports your wrist without restricting blood flow.
- Check Fit: Your fingers should reach near the end of the glove's fingertips without being cramped or having too much excess space.
Compatibility
These gloves are specifically designed for goalkeeping in football (soccer). They are suitable for use on various playing surfaces including natural grass and artificial turf. The `Soft Grip Pro rubber palms` are engineered for performance in both dry and wet conditions.
Care Instructions
Proper care is essential to maintain the grip, durability, and protective qualities of your gloves:
- Hand Wash Only: After each use, hand wash your gloves using lukewarm water. Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or a washing machine, as these can damage the latex and other materials.
- Gentle Cleaning: Gently rub the palms and soiled areas with your fingers to remove dirt and grass stains. Avoid vigorous scrubbing.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the gloves under lukewarm water until all soap residue is removed.
- Air Dry: Squeeze out excess water gently (do not wring). Allow the gloves to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers). Drying too quickly or with heat can cause the latex to crack and harden.
- Storage: Store gloves flat or rolled loosely with the palms facing each other to prevent the latex from sticking or cracking. Keep them in a cool, dry place.
- Refer to Label: Always check the product label for specific care instructions, as they may contain additional details.
