The adidas Predator Pro GK Gloves - IW6276 are designed to give goalkeepers a significant edge in their performance. The High Definition Grip elements on the backhand transform your clearances, allowing for powerful punches with precise directional control, crucial during high-pressure situations in the penalty box. When catching, the URG 2.0 latex provides consistent, reliable grip across all weather conditions, minimizing fumbles and ensuring secure possession.
The engineered knit body delivers an adaptive fit that moves naturally with your hand, offering stability without restricting movement. This is complemented by reinforced grooves in the palm, which improve flexibility, giving you a more natural and agile feel when handling the ball, whether you're catching, distributing, or parrying shots.

The strapless, compressive entry ensures a snug and secure fit around the wrist, allowing for uninterrupted focus on the game.
To put on your adidas Predator Pro GK Gloves, simply slide your hand into the strapless, compressive entry. The engineered knit will adapt to your wrist for a secure fit. Ensure the glove fits snugly but comfortably, allowing for full range of motion in your fingers and wrist.
These gloves are designed for high-performance goalkeeping across various playing conditions. The URG 2.0 latex performs well in both wet and dry weather. While suitable for natural grass, be aware that abrasive surfaces like artificial turf may accelerate wear on the latex palm.
Proper care is essential to maximize the lifespan and performance of your gloves:
Pre-Wash (First Use): Before first use, gently hand wash your new gloves with lukewarm water to remove any manufacturing residues and activate the latex.
Dampen Before Use: Always dampen the palms with water before each use. This activates the URG 2.0 latex for optimal grip.
Clean After Every Use: Immediately after each training session or match, hand wash the gloves with lukewarm water. You can use a mild, non-detergent glove wash if available. Gently squeeze out excess water; do not wring.
Air Dry: Allow the gloves to air dry naturally, away from direct sunlight, heaters, or excessive heat. Do not tumble dry.
Storage: Store your gloves flat or rolled with the palms facing each other to prevent the latex from drying out or sticking. Keep them in a cool, dry place, ideally in a glove bag to protect the latex.
Avoid Abrasive Surfaces: Minimize contact of the palm with abrasive surfaces (e.g., ground, goalposts) when not actively handling the ball to preserve latex durability.
