Product Care
To get the most out of your Tekkerz goalkeeping gloves it is recommended that actions are taken to keep your gloves in optimum condition for the life of the gloves. The following actions are recommended and follow the same principles as any other brand goalkeeper glove. These tips pose as a guide of how you should care for a product like goalkeeper gloves as they feature latex which is a natural product like leather is on a football boot.
Prepare: After removing the plastic off the palm of the glove, the gloves will be ready to use and will have outstanding grip. Even though this is the case a pre-wash is still recommended before the first use to get the grip performing at its best. Do not leave your gloves to dry in direct sunlight or similar conditions as this will have a negative impact on the palm and may shorten the life of the gloves and our 4mm contact latex is a natural product.
Before and after play: It is best to wash your gloves after every use as our 4mm contact latex is a natural product and being left in the presence of sweat and dirt can shorten the life of your gloves as they will eventually dry out with these substances in the palm. For best results use any purpose made goalkeeper glove wash as the soap used in these products does not damage the latex as it is a light soap that will not dry out the palm unlike other soaps and washes made for different purposes. Naturally air dry then come game day your gloves will be in the best shape possible to catch those high balls and hold the power shots.
During use: Our 4mm contact latex is an all weather latex and works best when it is slightly damp. On normal condition days use water to slightly dampen the palm and then rub palms together to ensure even dampness on both palms. On wet days it is of benefit that you have a towel nearby to keep palms and grip at the optimum performance level.
Durability: Please note that for a goalkeeper glove with such outstanding grip our gloves are very durable. Though this is the case their is no set life span for our products due to featuring natural latex that must be cared for. In general, life span of the gloves come down to how well you care for your gloves and the context and conditions you are using them in.
