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 maximize their performance and durability.

1. Choose the right gloves for your needs

• Choose gloves suitable for the type of surface you regularly play on and the weather conditions you most often face.
• Select the palm foam that best fits your needs. Even though all Reusch palms are made from high-quality materials, they differ in grip, cushioning and durability depending on the foam composition.
• Check additional glove features that can help improve your performance.
• Decide whether you want finger protection, choose your preferred cut and select the correct size.

2. Wash before first use

• Never skip this step! To remove any residual soap from production, the gloves must be washed with warm water before first use.
• Only after this process will the gloves reach their full grip potential.

3. Moisten before use

• Rinse Aqua gloves with warm water (preferably between 35-40°C) one to two hours before use to activate the Hydrograins™ in the palm foam.
• Moisten all types of goalkeeper gloves before playing.
• Keep the gloves slightly damp during use.

4. Clean after playing

• Wash the gloves with warm water (around 35°C) after playing to remove dirt that can reduce grip.
• Do not use aggressive solvents or harsh cleaning agents.
• Wash by hand, not in a washing machine.
• For best results, use a special glove wash.

5. Dry slowly

• Let the gloves air dry naturally.
• Keep them away from radiators or direct heat sources.

6. Store in an appropriate place

• Do not expose gloves to UV radiation such as direct sunlight or fluorescent light, as this can reduce grip and durability of the latex.
• Store gloves in a cool, dark and dry place.
• Goalkeeper bags are ideal for storage.

7. Use until completely worn out

• Very soft palm foams may show signs of wear after a short period of use.
• However, performance and grip remain unchanged until the palm is fully worn out.
