FOR GOALKEEPER GLOVES
MATERIAL TYPES & DETAILS
palm materials of goalkeeper gloves
Goalkeeper gloves are typically crafted from latex, which varies in grip, durability, and performance depending on the type. Professional-grade latex delivers outstanding grip and performance in dry conditions, making it perfect for match play, though it tends to wear down faster. Training latex is designed for greater durability, ideal for regular use in all weather conditions, but with slightly reduced grip. Hybrid latex combines the strengths of both professional and training latex, offering a well-rounded balance of excellent grip and enhanced durability, catering to the diverse needs of goalkeepers. There are some types of palm materials.
