wristband Wristband The wristband is the elastic closure of the goalkeeper glove and creates a perfect fit and support and protection for the wrist. foam material Grip during dry weather conditions The adhesive properties of the foam are decisive for an optimal grip and the best performance. The weather is a big influence on the properties and performances of the foam material. Playing during dry weather requires special foam components for optimal results. Grip during wet weather conditions Moist, rain and wet conditions affects the grip and requires additional components for a better grip. Softer and more open foam absorbs water and is very suitable for wet conditions. Cushioning As well as grip, cushioning is a large factor in determining the most suitable keeperglove. The softer and thicker the foam, the better the impact of the ball can be absorbed. Also the thickness of the basic material of the glove also determines the amount of cushioning. Abrasion resistance FitEasy A wristband specially made for junior gloves. Kids have a relatively big hand compared to their fingers. This wristband has an opening at the side, so it is easier to put on the glove. Integrated Wrist Support This closure system has Foam foam on the wristband. Therefore the foam surface will be in­creased for optimal ball control. This closure also gives more support and protection for the wrist. Foam foam is a very soft material that needs special treatment. Regular ball contact leads to wearing of the foam. The degree of wearing is determined by the surface structure and the density of the foam material. There will be less wear with more reserved and coarser foam structures.
