Goalkeeper glove manufacturing

We specialize in the development and manufacturing of customized goalkeeper gloves for sports brands, clubs, academies and distributors. Our solutions cover different palm latex grades, glove cuts, backhand materials, finger constructions, wrist closures and branding options. Every glove can be developed according to the customer’s design, performance requirements and target market.

A. Glove cuts

Goalkeeper glove cuts

Each cut changes how the glove fits, how the seams sit and how much latex touches the ball. The diagrams show a palm view and a cross-section through the fingers.
