Goalkeeper Glove Latex Guide
With so many types of latex on the goalkeeper glove market, it's easy to feel like you're picking your lineup in the dark. Is it durable? How’s the grip? Does it step up in wet conditions? No worries—we’ve got all the answers in our simple guide below.
Just a heads up, though: these ratings assume you’re following our Glove Care Guide like a pro. Latex is a natural material, and just like a ball, it's going to take some hits from day one. Durability depends on how well you care for them and what surface you play on!

Aqua Wet Weather
Formulated for tricky conditions, this latex excels in the wet but will still perform well in the dry providing you keep it damp. Requires a pre-wash to activate and you should still remove excess water off your palms. Remember, an aqua latex doesn't mean you can allow a layer of water preventing contact with the ball!
