The Puma ULTRA Ultimate 1 Goalkeeper's Gloves are designed for serious match-day performance and intense training sessions. The 4mm ELITE+ latex palm is a standout feature, providing reliable grip on the ball whether the pitch is bone-dry or soaked from rain, allowing goalkeepers to confidently catch and hold even the most powerful shots. The Negative Cut internal seams create a close, anatomical fit, which translates to an exceptional feel for the ball, enabling precise distribution and quick adjustments during saves. For moments requiring aggressive clearances, the GRDKXN punching zone offers a firm, protected surface, helping goalkeepers punch the ball with power and accuracy. The twin-wrap thumb and latex gussets further enhance the contact area and overall comfort, ensuring the gloves move seamlessly with your hands during crucial game moments. These features combine to support athletes who prioritize speed, strength, and control in their goalkeeping.
Setup: To wear the gloves, gently slide your hand in, ensuring each finger is fully seated into its compartment. Adjust the wrist strap to a firm, comfortable fit that provides support without restricting blood flow. Before your first use, it's recommended to gently pre-wash the palms with lukewarm water to remove any manufacturing residues and activate the latex for optimal grip. Compatibility: These gloves are specifically designed for goalkeeping in football (soccer). They are suitable for various playing surfaces, from natural grass to artificial turf, though prolonged use on highly abrasive surfaces may accelerate latex wear. Care: After each use, it is crucial to wash your gloves immediately with lukewarm water (around 30°C / 86°F) and a specialized glove wash or mild soap. Gently squeeze out excess water; do not wring. Air dry the gloves away from direct sunlight or heat sources like radiators. Never machine wash or tumble dry, as this can severely damage the latex and stitching. Store them with palms flat against each other or with a slightly damp cloth between them to prevent the latex from drying out and cracking.
