During catching, the URG 2.0 latex, combined with reinforced palm grooves, ensures a reliable grip and excellent flexibility, allowing you to secure the ball firmly.

Setup:
Sizing: Ensure you have selected the correct glove size for a snug but comfortable fit. The negative cut and strapless design rely heavily on accurate sizing.
Putting On: Gently slide your hand into the glove, ensuring your fingers are fully seated within the finger stalls. The Corespun 2.0 knit entry will conform to your wrist for a secure, distraction-free fit. There are no straps to fasten, so the knit does all the work.
Compatibility: These gloves are designed specifically for goalkeepers playing soccer (football). The URG 2.0 latex is formulated to perform well in various conditions, making them suitable for both wet and dry weather, on natural grass or artificial turf.
Care:
Pre-Wash: Before first use, gently pre-wash the palms with lukewarm water to remove any manufacturing residues and activate the latex.
Cleaning After Use: Always clean your gloves immediately after use. Use lukewarm water and a specialized glove wash or mild soap. Gently rub the palms to remove dirt and grass. Avoid harsh detergents.
Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly until all soap residue is gone. Squeeze excess water gently; do not wring.
Drying: Air dry your gloves away from direct sunlight or heat sources (e.g., radiators, dryers). Lay them flat or hang them up. Never tumble dry, as this can damage the latex.
Storage: Once completely dry, store the gloves in a cool, dry place, ideally in a glove bag, to protect the latex from damage and keep the palms slightly moist. Avoid folding the palms together to prevent latex degradation.
Maintain Dampness (Optional): For optimal grip, some goalkeepers prefer to slightly dampen the palms with water before and during use.
