l1 GLOVe guide
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 material to ensure best performance. Our gloves are created, tested and worn by ex-professional Leon Othen and Marty Walker. Below we will show you why L1 gloves are so popular amongst professionals, and also how to keep good care of them.
Backhand of the glove - L1 Roll Finger
The backhand of our gloves provides the greatest protection to our players. The L1 Roll Finger backhand is one of the most popular backhand glove styles in soccer. With a roll finger cut, the body of the glove and finger gussets connect the palm and backhand, resulting in a rolled effect around the fingers. The L1 Roll Finger creates a larger surface area, providing greater ball contact and providing a greater comfort and fit.

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.
