L1 GLOVE GUIDE

*OUR GLOVES ARE SHIPPED WITH A PLASTIC FILM SEALING THE LATEX PALM IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE GRIP DURING TRANSPORT AND TO ENSURE THE PRODUCT ARRIVES TO YOU IN OPTIMAL CONDITION.
THIS FILM IS TO BE REMOVED BEFORE PLAY.*

Here at L1 we understand that gloves are the most important piece of your equipment. L1 goalkeeper gloves provide comfort, grip and protection. Our gloves are made with the greatest care and materials to ensure your best performance. Our gloves are designed and tested by ex-professionals Leon Othen and Marty Walker, as well as our team of professional and amateur keepers.

Backhand Specifications

 Latex Backhand offers more protection, cushion and warmth compared to neoprene mesh. Preferable for colder weather.
Offered on Aquilae & Corvus models.

Neoprene Mesh Backhand offers more breathability, lighter weight and barehand feel compared to latex. Preferable for warmer weather.
Offered on Breka & Draconis models.

Finger Splines are additional support built into the backhand of the glove to protect fingers from jams and hyperextensions. This is great for those with finger injuries, lack of experience, and younger keepers in order to build up confidence when catching.
Offered on our Aquilae model.

Contact Supreme Latex Cuts

Roll Finger Cut is a traditional and popular cut of latex. It was given it's name for how the latex connects with the backhand, rolling over the fingers.
Offered on our Aquilae model.

​Roll Finger-Tip Cut is almost identical to the roll finger cut, but the latex also rolls over the fingertips, for better contact and feel on the ball.
Offered on our Corvus model.

Negative Cut is an increasingly popular style situating the stitching on the inside of the glove. This offers a snugger fit and much closer look and feel to your actual hand.
Offered on Breka & Draconis models.

L1 Glove Care.

You can extend the life of your L1 gloves through the steps below. The first part of the glove to show wear will be the palm and fingers. The latex is the most delicate piece of the glove and will require the most care and attention. 

To get the most out of your L1 Gloves you should:
- Pre-wash to ensure maximum grip on use. 
- When playing, dampen the L1 Latex Professional Palm with water to give grip and durability. 
- Wash gloves immediately after use and dry naturally. 
Wash using water 70-90 degrees F, and dry naturally. DO NOT use a radiator, drier or an iron to dry L1 gloves.

How many pairs do I need?

Here at L1 we recommend that players have more than one pair of gloves depending on the amount of training/playing/games. Generally, a young goalkeeper may go through around 15-20 gloves per season depending on the intensity of play (how many times they play/train, how well they look after them, age of keeper). 

Our L1 Pro-Team usually use around 30-40 pairs of gloves per season due to their increase of training, games and overall intensity.
