Soccer goalie gloves are used to protect the hands of the goalie when stopping the fast speeding balls coming in for goals. They not only protect his hands, but the pad made of latex foam helps him in catching and throwing the ball. If the pad is made of neoprene, it will give the goalie a firm grip in all kinds of weather.
Adidas Fingertip
The Adidas Fingertip soccer goalie gloves are some of the highest rated gloves on the market today. In spite of their Climaproof weather protection, they tend to lose some of their grip when they get wet. In dry weather they have an excellent grip that can’t be beat by other brands. They come with useful extended fingers that fit snugly to the hand, making them extremely comfortable to wear. They are a good buy for the money they cost, and they are cheaper than most other roll fingertip goalie gloves. These gloves will improve the game and confidence of any goalie, because he will be able to stop and catch everything that comes at him. The only disadvantage is that they have a smaller wrist strap than most other gloves. In color, they are white and black.
Adidas Climacool ES4 Fingersave
These sexy looking soccer goalie gloves have the added advantage of fingersave bones that protect the fingers and keep them from bending backwards. The more breathable Climacool material doesn’t make the hands sweat like other material. They are constructed with a very thick latex pad in the palm area. This causes an awkward feeling at first until they are broke in. The one piece backhand reduces the bulk of the glove and makes them light and flexible. The shock absorption on these gloves and their excellent, long lasting grip are two features that goalies greatly appreciate. The full wrap, double sided wrist strap provides extra wrist protection. The two small disadvantages to these gloves is the high price, and they are not machine washable. These gloves are one of the longest lasting goalie gloves, and that characteristic is reflected in the considerably higher cost.
Puma V Cat
The Puma V Cat soccer goalie gloves are considered a good buy for the cost. They are stylish gloves that are highly recommended by the goalies that use them. The strong, firm fingersave bones add extra protection for the fingers; however, the extra back bone is inclined to make the back of the hand sore in the beginning. Overall they are comfortable gloves that provide a good grip. Goalies proclaim that they have a magnetic effect with the ball, making it easy to catch each one that comes at them. They are made with a breathable mesh body to keep the hands from sweating. The latex wrist strap provides sufficient protection. The biggest disadvantage to these gloves is that they are not machine washable, and you have to use a glove wash to keep them clean. They are one of the longer lasting goalie gloves available. The color is white with gold.
