Elite Sports Goalkeeper Gloves

Product Information

I would say that as far as variety in the type of goalkeeper gloves that they make Elite is right up there with the best of them. They are not fully committed to putting out just the modern looking gloves. That’s a major positive in my book. This lets goalkeepers really experiment with different types of gloves to see what fits their play style, their hand size, and even budget. Having said this I want to look into three different types of gloves that the brand makes. To then talk about why I feel that these gloves could help certain types of goalkeepers. Finger protection is crucial in being a goalkeeper as they also receive a significant amount of force in catching high-speed balls. That's why they also need to be protected with fingersaves.

Training gloves: can ONLY be used for training season because they DO NOT HAVE the advanced grip required for competitive games. The main idea behind writing this article isn’t necessarily to directly promote the Elite Sports brand. Actually, the idea is to promote real goalkeeper glove brands. It’s not that Adidas and Nike gloves can’t be comfortable and fit great on you. The problem though is that goalkeepers coming into the sport may not be aware of these specialty brands. They’re missing out on a ton of options. Not only price-wise. Which is interesting though about Elite, they do offer gloves at different prices potentially for all budgets. Also, though when it comes to different glove cuts and styles. It’s really hard to crown one style of glove as the best. In reality, each goalkeeper is going to have to find what’s best for them. The wrist closure is another noteworthy benefit to mention. The 10 cm wide elastic wristband allows you to still contract your wrist muscles well while not compromising the movement necessary to catch the ball. Sure, we mentioned these as benefits, but you still need to be wary of the possible allergic reactions they may have on your child’s skin [R] . The finger protection is top-notch, too thanks to Speed Cut - a negative cut with wrapped thumb and all-around latex wrap all over the index and pinky fingers.

Indeed, you are literally in good hands with these goalie glove options, so be sure to choose the one that will satisfy your child's needs and overall satisfaction. The criticism on this glove is that it can be a bit small. So it could be a good idea to buy a pair that’s one size larger than your usual. In my opinion though, this isn’t necessarily a problem that is unique to Elite as a manufacturer. What glove makers call a roll finger cut means that the fingertips are round and somewhat curved in. A lot of times wearing these gloves it feels like they are too tight at the top. This something though that you would do well to watch out for with any goalkeeper gloves with a roll cut on the fingers. Elite Club Goalkeeper Gloves With an integral overlap wristband, one would think that this goalkeeper glove is stuffy. However, you can easily adjust it through the Velcro straps. It is SUPER important to invest in the right one for your youth to focus on giving their best during their game. Not to mention that it has a vented wrist cuff and full wrap Velcro fasteners, which allow air to the glove and prevent the issue of sweating when using this pair of gloves for a long time.

If you are looking for a pair of gloves that will NEVER let you down, you have officially found what you are looking for.

The only downside with these goalkeeper gloves is that they offer NO finger protection for the thumb. Elite Sport includes this in their gloves to ensure your hands remain comfortable during those rigorous hours on the football field. When it comes to cheaper pairs, gloves usually come loose, which is a BIG NO-NO for any goalie gloves. You get rubber material on the whole glove and an anti-slip latex palm on top of the memory foam, so expect maximum impact support and grip for controlling the ball regardless of the weather. The Speed Cut, Tight-fitting Neoprene, and latex wrap INCREASE the thumb's mobility and DECREASE the irritation from the seam abrasion.
