These gloves are built for match-level performance, focusing on secure handling and injury prevention. The Soft Grip Pro latex palms ensure you can confidently catch and parry shots, whether the pitch is wet or dry, preventing slips and improving ball control during distribution. This superior grip is vital for maintaining a firm hold on the ball, even in challenging conditions.
The integrated Fingersave spines offer a critical layer of protection, particularly when facing hard shots. They resist hyperextension and significantly reduce the risk of finger injuries, giving goalkeepers greater confidence to make aggressive saves without fear. This feature is a game-changer for protecting your hands during intense play.
The half-wrap wrist straps allow for a personalized, snug fit, which is crucial for preventing the gloves from shifting during dives and saves. A secure fit ensures that the gloves remain comfortable and effective throughout the entire game or training session. This combination of grip, protection, and a secure fit makes them ideal for competitive play where reliable performance is paramount. For example, during a penalty shootout, the superior grip helps in holding onto a fast-moving ball, while the finger support gives you the confidence to make aggressive saves. You can trust these gloves to perform under pressure.
First Use: Before your first match or training session, ensure the gloves fit snugly but comfortably.
Adjust Wrist Strap: Adjust the half-wrap wrist strap to secure the glove firmly around your wrist. It should be tight enough to prevent movement but not restrict circulation, allowing for full range of motion.
Activate Grip: For optimal performance, especially in dry conditions, it's recommended to lightly dampen the palms with water just before use to activate the grip properties of the latex. Gently rub the palms together to distribute the moisture.
These gloves are designed for goalkeepers of all levels looking for enhanced finger protection and grip in various playing conditions. They are suitable for both training and competitive match play across different surfaces.
Proper care is essential to maximize the lifespan and performance of your adidas Predator Match Fingersave Goalkeeper Gloves.
Hand Wash Only: To maintain the longevity and performance, hand wash your gloves thoroughly after each use. Use lukewarm water and a mild glove wash (or a gentle, non-detergent soap). Gently rub the palms and fingers to remove dirt and sweat.
Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the gloves under lukewarm water until all soap residue is removed.
Squeeze, Don't Wring: Gently squeeze out excess water. Do not wring or twist the gloves, as this can damage the latex and internal structure.
Air Dry: Allow them to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources (such as radiators or tumble dryers). Direct heat can cause the latex to dry out and crack.
Storage: Once completely dry, store your gloves flat or loosely rolled in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing them in a sealed bag while damp, as this can lead to odor and bacterial growth.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these will degrade the latex and other materials.
Refer to Label: Always refer to the product label for specific care instructions.
