Care Instructions

1. Choose the right gloves for your needs

• Take the gloves that are made for the type of surface you regularly play on and the weather conditions you will face the most.
• Select the palm foam that best corresponds to your needs. Even though all Reusch palms are made of high-quality material, they differ in terms of grip, cushioning and durability, depending on the material composition of the foam.
• Check the additional features of the glove that can help you improving your performance.
• Decide whether you want finger protection or not, choose your preferred cut and pick the right size.

2. Wash before first use

• Never forget about this! In order eleiminate any remaining soap necessarily used in the production process, the gloves must be cleaned with warm water before first using them.
• Only after this procedure the gloves attain their fullest grip properties.

3. Moisten before laying

• Rinse Aqua gloves with warm water (preferably between 35 - 40º) one to two hours before using them, in order to activate the Hydrograins™ inside the palm foam.
• Moisten all types of goalkeeper gloves before playing.
• Keep the gloves in slightly wet condition during use.

4. Clean after playing

• Wash the gloves with warm water (around 35º) after playing in order to eliminate dirt that decreases the grip properties of the gloves.
• Do not use aggressive solvents or harsh cleaners.
• Wash by hand and not in the washing machine.
• For a perfectly clean glove, additionally use special glove wash.

5. Dry slowly

• Let the gloves dry slowly by air.
• Keep away from radiators or other sources of direct heat.

6. Store in appropriate location

• Do not expose gloves to UV radiation like intense sun light or light from fluorescent tubes, as this can impair the grip and durability of the latex layer.
• Store the gloves in a cool, dark and dry place.
• Goalie bags are the perfect sotrage items for your gloves.

7. Use until completely worn-out

• Very soft palm foams can show first signs of usage already after a small period of use.
• The performance and the grip properties of the glove remain untouched until the palm is totally worn out.
