Before Play

Pre-wash your new gloves before using them for the first time and allow them to dry naturally (consult the washing instructions below).

This is to ensure that any preservatives from the manufacturing process are removed from the latex, it will activate the latex and make sure that you are getting the maximum grip out of your gloves when you use them. If you want absolute confidence that they are ready, a second pre-wash is always a good idea.

During Play

When your goalkeeper gloves are in use, occasionally dampen the palms of the gloves with water to get the best possible grip and durability from the latex palm.

Latex is not designed to be dry. This is why you will often see pros on TV squirt water on them or even spit, to make the latex come alive.

After Play

After using your goalkeeper gloves, make sure that you wash them immediately and leave them to dry naturally.

However, if you leave your latex to dry out too much, it will become brittle which will have an impact on durability and grip which is not what you want (our guide on drying further down the page has you covered!).

Our goalkeeper gloves use very high quality latex palms and materials, sourced and manufactured to offer the best possible grip in all conditions. Latex is a very soft, natural product and as such is subject to wear and abrasion over time. S1 Goalkeeping cannot be held accountable for wear to the palms.

LATEX WEAR
Most latex palms will begin to show signs of wear within their first use. This is normal and can be down to many factors that may include: many variables of play e.g. (the age of goalkeeper, their technique, the playing surface, how the gloves were prepared, were the care instructions followed).

As with all soft latex goalkeeper gloves the better you care for them the more life you will get from them.

Wear to the foams usually happens when the gloves come into contact with the ground, but they can also wear from something as simple as pulling your socks up, even when putting your gloves on as most gloves use a course Velcro closure which can be prone to wearing the latex.

If your latex starts to show signs of wear, don’t worry! Glove wear is normal, that’s just what latex does, latex is a soft natural product which is made to provide the grip that all goalkeepers need and want!

Please note that all goalkeeper gloves will offer grip and continue to perform until there is virtually no latex left on the palms.Deterioration will be particularly apparent during early and end of season use when the grounds are at their hardest. Do try to avoid glove contact with the ground if at all possible!

Young and inexperienced goalkeepers may also notice fast deterioration of the foam; this will become less apparent when the individual technique improves.

WARNING: ROLL FINGER & NEGATIVE GLOVES

Glove cuts, the stitched seams and fingers do come under immense stress during the course of training and match-play.

S1 Goalkeeping will not offer replacements or refunds for burst seams and damaged foam around the stress areas.
Great care should be taken when putting the gloves on and taking them off.

Please ensure that the correct size is selected, as seams will come under great stress when moving the hand if the glove is too tight.
