Hand wash them in lukewarm water with a neutral, paraben-free soap after use, rinse well, and air dry away from direct sun and heat. Avoid the washing machine, wringing, and radiators, which break down the latex much faster.
Lightly dampen the latex palm with water before you play, since goalkeeper latex grips best when slightly moist. Keep the palms free of dirt and rinse them after matches to keep the tack.
It depends on how and where you use them: soft, high-grip match latex wears faster than firmer training latex. Many keepers rotate a match pair and a training pair to make each last longer.
You can. At Elite Sport we engineer grip and durability into the same glove, so a single pair can handle both training and matches, which makes us your best option if you'd rather not buy two pairs. If you train very heavily on abrasive surfaces, some keepers still keep a separate pair to extend the life of their match gloves.
Many Elite Sport models include removable finger protection (spines) to guard against hyperextension; you can play with it for security or remove it for full flexibility. Each model's specs show its finger support option.
Always buy from official stores and authorized retailers. To confirm a pair, contact your country's local Elite Sport distributor or email info@elitesport.soccer. Our recommendation is always to purchase through official channels.
