FAQs
Can I use these gloves on artificial turf?
Yes, but be aware that artificial turf is more abrasive than natural grass and will wear down the latex palms faster.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The glove should have a small amount of space at the fingertips while feeling secure around the palm and wrist.
Is the URG 2.0 latex suitable for wet conditions?
Yes, URG 2.0 provides excellent grip in both wet and dry conditions, provided the latex is kept clean.
Should I wash them in a washing machine?
No, machine washing will destroy the structural integrity of the latex and the stitching. Always hand wash.
What is the purpose of the lateral palm wrap?
The lateral wrap increases the surface area of the latex on the edge of the hand, providing extra grip during difficult saves.
Troubleshooting
The gloves are losing grip after a few games.
Wash the palms thoroughly with warm water to remove dirt and debris, then allow them to air dry.
The strap feels loose during play.
Ensure the velcro contact area is clean of mud or grass to maintain a strong, secure connection.
Latex feels brittle or dry.
This is a sign of dehydration. Keep the palms slightly damp during use and store them in a cool, slightly humid environment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life of your adidas Predator Competition gloves, follow these maintenance protocols. Before first use, it is recommended to dampen the latex palms slightly to activate the grip properties. When securing the gloves, wrap the full-wrist strap firmly but ensure you do not restrict blood flow. After each use, wash the gloves by hand using lukewarm water and a mild glove-specific cleaner or soap, as chemicals can degrade the URG 2.0 latex. Allow the gloves to air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area; never place them on a radiator or in direct sunlight, as heat will cause the latex to crack and lose its tackiness. Store the gloves away from extreme temperatures to keep the foam flexible.
