7 steps to treat goalkeeper gloves right
As highly technological and delicate products , goalkeeper gloves deserve and need special attention . Following some basic rules when choosing , playing , cleaning and storing the gloves will help maximizing their performance and durability .
01 . Choose the right gloves for your needs
• Take the gloves that are made for the type of surface you regularly play on and the weather conditions you will face the most .
• Select the palm foam that best corresponds to your needs . Even though all Reusch palms are made of high-quality materials , they differ in terms of grip , cushioning and durability , depending on the material composition of the foam .
• Check the additional features of the glove that can help you improving your performance .
• Decide whether you want finger protection or not .
• Choose your preferred cut .
• Pick the right size .
02 . Wash before first use
• Never forget about this ! In order to eliminate any remaining soap necessarily used in the production process , the gloves must be cleaned with warm water before first using them .
• Only after this procedure the gloves attain their fullest grip properties .
03 . Moisten before playing
• Rinse Aqua gloves with warm water ( preferably between 35 – 40 ° C ) one to two hours before using them , in order to activate the Hydrograins™ inside the palm foam .
• Moisten all types of goalkeeper gloves before playing .
• Keep the gloves in slightly wet condition during use .
04 . Clean after playing
• Wash the gloves with warm water ( around 35 ° C ) after playing in order to eliminate dirt that decreases the grip properties of the gloves .
• Do not use aggressive solvents or harsh cleaners .
• Wash by hand and not in the washing machine .
• For a perfectly clean glove , additionally use special glove wash .
05 . Dry at room temperature
• Let the gloves dry at room temperature .
