BEST GOALKEEPER GLOVES FOR WET WEATHER
Rainy match days in Durban are part of the job. With the right prep you can keep your grip when the ball is slippery.
What matters in the wet
- A full latex palm with good coverage gives you the biggest grip area.
- A snug fit stops the glove twisting when it is heavy with water.
- A secure wrist strap keeps the glove in place on wet dives.
Prepare the latex
Dampen the palms with clean water before kick-off and again at half-time. Wipe mud off the palms during stoppages.
Bring a spare pair
If the weather is bad, keep a second pair in your bag and change at half-time if the first pair gets waterlogged.
Look after them afterwards
Rinse the mud off as soon as you can and dry them slowly at room temperature. See our washing guide for the steps.
