1. CHOOSE THE RIGHT GLOVE 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 material, 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 and pick the right size.
2. WASH BEFORE FIRST USE
- Never forget about this! In order eleiminate 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.
3. CLEAN AFTER PLAYING
- Wash the gloves with warm water (around 35º) 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.
4. DRY AT ROOM TEMPERATURE
- Let the gloves dry at room temperature.
- Keep away from radiators or other sources of direct heat, which would deteriorate the latex.
5. STORE IN APPROPRIATE LOCATION
- Do not expose gloves to UV radiation like intense sun light or light from fluorescent tubes, as this can impair the grip and durability of the latex layer.
- Store the gloves in a cool, dark and dry place.
- Goalie bags are the perfect storage items for your gloves.
6. USE UNTIL COMPLETELY WORN-OUT
- Very soft palm foams can show first signs of usage already after a small period of use.
- The performance and the grip properties of the glove remain untouched until the palm is totally worn out.
7. MOISTEN BEFORE PLAYING
- Rinse Aqua gloves with warm water (preferably between 35 - 40º) 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.
