Why Goalkeepers now wear Goalkeeper Gloves
Professional soccer goalkeepers did not care to wear gloves in the 60s and 70s. However, manufacturers of goalkeeper gloves have been innovating and designing the gloves construction with labels for use and medical information. Read on to know why players should purchase goalkeepers gloves and what one needs to look for in the product when buying. Why wear goalkeeper gloves?
Definitely, the two most popular soccer players in the 1960s did not wear any gloves during the game. This does not connote that goalkeeper gloves are not important at all. Goalkeeper gloves design gives you a firmer hold when you seize the ball. The goalkeeper gloves also minimize shock on player’s wrist and cushion the impact of the balls force on the palm and fingers.
Goalkeeper gloves design
The materials of the first goalkeeper gloves were cotton with thin padding. This material makes the gloves slippery when wet or soaked with the player’s sweat. The thin padding is not much of a protection for the hands and wrist either.
At present, some brands, introduced a strong design for goalkeeper gloves. These companies used a synthetic lightweight material with protection design based on latex palms.
What is the best type of Latex Palm for goalkeepers’ gloves?
The most crucial part of the design in all goalkeepers’ gloves is the palm. The palms need to provide support for the blow while providing the player optimum gripping capability and control to catch and hold the ball regardless of wet or even muddy situations. Latex palms with smoother surface are the excellent surface design to contain and respond to the wear and tear of the gloves.
Take good care of your goalkeepers’ gloves by maintaining several pairs and rotating their use. Clean the latex palm after every use. This will assure you continuous optimum grip and hand protection.
Glove size measurement
The size of your glove must fit to the size of your hand. Gloves that do not fit your hand well may cause the same level of damage when you do not wear any gloves at all.
Gloves are supposed to protect your fingers, your hand, and your wrist. To maintain your maximum performance while playing on field, purchase gloves that really fit your hand’s size.
To know if the glove is suited for your hand’s size is to measure first your palm. Make sure you get the widest point of your palm measurement. Then add a few extra inches around the palms total length. This is the appropriate size of your hand and must be translated to the nearest available glove size. Try to fit the gloves too. Feel the gloves and know if it is a good fit. Purchasing the appropriate glove size and design helps prevent serious game injury.
