Full details

These Puma Future Ultimate Goalkeeper Gloves are designed for professional goalkeepers seeking enhanced ball control, grip, and wrist support. They offer a strapless, firm-fit construction with advanced latex for all-weather performance. A key benefit is the integrated grip yarns that improve punching power and ball interaction. However, the specialist latex palm requires careful maintenance to preserve its tackiness.

FAQs

How do I ensure the best grip from the 4mm ELITE+ Dual Grip 2.0 Latex?

The extrasticky particles in the latex perform best when slightly damp. Lightly rinse or dampen the palm with water before matches or training sessions for optimal performance in all weather conditions.

What is the benefit of the integrated grip yarns?

The grip yarns are woven into the glove's construction to enhance friction during ball contact, improving control upon catching and providing greater confidence and power when punching the ball away from danger.

Can these gloves be used on artificial grass?

While the gloves can be used on artificial grass, prolonged or intense use may cause abrasion to the latex palm and reduce its lifespan compared to use on natural grass.

How often should I clean my goalkeeper gloves?

It is recommended to rinse your gloves after every use to remove sweat and dirt. A more thorough wash with mild cleaner should be done periodically, based on usage frequency and pitch conditions.

What makes the wrist support 're-designed'?

The backhand knit features varying elasticities and thicknesses specifically engineered to provide enhanced support and stability to the wrist joint during saves and distributions, without compromising flexibility.

Are these gloves suitable for beginner goalkeepers?

These are professional-grade gloves designed for optimal performance. While a beginner can use them, they might be better suited for goalkeepers who require advanced features and are comfortable with maintaining specialist latex.

What does 'NC' stand for in the product name?

NC typically stands for 'Negative Cut' in goalkeeper gloves, referring to the stitching method used on the fingers, which offers a snugger, more 'second-skin' fit.

Troubleshooting

Glove grip is reduced.

Ensure the latex palm is clean and free of dirt. Rinse thoroughly with water. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive materials.

Strapless fit feels too tight or loose.

Verify you have selected the correct size. The stretch knit is designed to adapt, but an incorrect size will not provide the intended fit. Ensure the glove is put on evenly, starting from the fingertips.

Latex becomes sticky or tacky even after cleaning.

This is normal for the ELITE+ Dual Grip 2.0 latex, especially when dry. Lightly dampen the palm with water before play for optimal performance. Ensure the gloves are fully dry before storage to prevent moisture buildup.

Discomfort around the wrist.

Ensure the glove is worn correctly and the stretch knit is fully extended around the wrist. The re-designed wrist support is meant to be snug but should not restrict circulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves are designed for immediate use upon unboxing. Ensure the correct size is selected for a snug, firm fit. The strapless design means the glove should feel secure without any additional adjustments needed.

Compatibility: The gloves are designed for use on natural grass pitches and potentially artificial turf, though excessive abrasion on artificial surfaces may reduce latex longevity.

Care: To maintain optimal grip and longevity:

  1. Rinse Immediately: After each use, rinse the gloves thoroughly with cold or lukewarm water to remove dirt and debris.
  2. Hand Wash Gently: If necessary, use a mild glove cleaner or soap and gently wash the palm with your hands.
  3. Rinse Thoroughly: Ensure all soap residue is removed.
  4. Air Dry: Gently pat excess water with a towel and allow the gloves to air dry completely, away from direct heat sources or sunlight. Do not tumble dry.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in the provided bag, to protect the latex.
