3. After use, wash the gloves thoroughly with water or preferably with the dedicated 4KEEPERS GLOVE WAS 2in1 liquid to get rid of any dirt.If you leave dirty latex to dry, it can become brittle, affecting durability and adhesion.

How to dry goalkeeper gloves:
Our experts recommend that after washing goalkeeper gloves, wrap them in a towel and press gently to absorb excess water, then let them dry naturally.Do not rub or scrub the gloves with a towel, as this can damage the latex.
You can also hang them on a drying line or in the bathroom, but be careful not to leave them in direct sunlight or in a humid environment.

Tip: When training or playing, do not use your hand (the grip surface of the glove) to lift yourself off the field after an intervention.Instead, rather use your fists to reduce glove contact with the ground.Using an open hand will help you get up faster, but can cause damage to your gloves.

Goalkeeper gloves are mainly designed for use on natural surfaces such as grass, unless they are specialized for artificial surfaces, such as latex for 3G synthetic turf or AstroTurf artificial surface , which usually sacrifice grip at the expense of durability.When you use goalkeeper gloves on an artificial surface such as 3G synthetic turf or AstroTurf, you expose the latex to higher levels of stress, which can result in faster wear and tear.
A model designed for this type of pitch is the CHAMP ASTRO HB.
