The latex on your gloves is what connects you to the ball. It’s the single biggest difference between a catch that sticks and one that spills. But here’s what most people don’t realise:
That’s the trade-off. Always has been.
You want elite grip? You’ve got to treat it right.
You want something bombproof? You’re giving up that top-tier feel.
It’s about choosing the right glove — and understanding what it’s built for.
Latex is the material used on the palms of your gloves — and it’s what gives you grip.
Different latexes behave differently. Some are sticky and responsive. Others are tougher and more forgiving. But no latex lasts forever.
Grip fades. That’s normal.
Especially if you’re using the wrong gloves in the wrong conditions — or not taking care of them.
We only use match-quality latex across our entire range. But here’s how the performance differs:
Our highest-grade latex. Sticky, soft, and match-ready from the first touch. This is the stuff serious keepers wear when it matters most. It gives you that pro-level grip — but it demands proper care. You train in this every day? It won’t last long.
Best for: Match day, elite performance, clean conditions.
On our junior gloves, we use Giga latex — slightly firmer and far more durable. Still great grip, but built to handle the way younger keepers dive, push off, and drag their hands. It’s designed to take hits while they learn their craft.
Best for: Youth players, artificial pitches, training environments.
Latex doesn’t just “go bad” — it wears out because of how you use it.
It’s avoidable. And it’s why we tell every keeper the same thing: your gloves are only as good as how you treat them.
Want to keep that latex alive? Here's how to do it properly:
Great grip is temporary. That’s the reality.
But if you respect the latex — if you clean it, store it, and use it the way it was designed — it’ll reward you with clean handling and serious confidence.
Better grip = softer latex = faster wear.
That’s the deal. Treat it right.
Some gloves come with a thin plastic film (mainly adult match models). Peel it off. Then rinse the latex in cold water — that activates the grip. Don’t skip it.
Technically yes — but you’ll lose grip fast and wear the latex quicker. Keep the palms slightly damp before and during play for best performance.
4mm Pro Contact Latex — no question. It’s softer, tackier, and more responsive. But it also needs more care. Giga latex is more durable, especially for juniors and turf.
Yes. We use Giga latex on junior gloves — tougher and more forgiving while young keepers develop their technique.
Match latex (like Pro Contact) will typically last 8–12 full matches with proper care. More if you keep them clean and only use them on match day. Giga latex and tougher models will last longer, especially on rough surfaces.
That’s wear and tear — not a fault. Latex naturally breaks down with use, especially if not cleaned or used dry. The more it gets dragged or scuffed, the faster it peels.
