FINGER SAVES ARE SUCH A PERSONAL CHOICE. SOME GOALKEEPERS REALLY LIKE FINGER SAVES AND OTHER GOALKEEPERS DON’T LIKE THEM AT ALL. THIS IS WHY ONE OF OUR KEY FEATURES IS HAVING REMOVABLE FINGER SAVES IN MANY OF OUR MODELS.

Finger saves are simply a piece of plastic inserted into the backhand of the glove. They are designed to limit the degree to which your fingers bend back when catching shots. As a result your fingers are less likely to be injured. Goalkeepers have various reasons for using or not using finger saves. Those that like finger saves have typically had a finger injury. Finger saves in gloves can prevent future injuries and give you the confidence to handle those hard shots coming at you. Therefore, these goalkeepers often want the their gloves to have finger saves in them. Goalkeepers who do not like finger saves typically complain about the lack of flexibility. Finger saves can make bending your finger difficult. It can become difficult to catch shots when this happens because your hand shape won’t be correct. Keepher gloves come equipped with removable finger saves. We want you to be able to customize your glove to your needs. So being able to take out finger saves is an important option to have. Some goalkeepers like finger saves in their goalkeeper gloves and others do not. That is why removable finger saves are available in all of Keepher’s current models.

KEEPHER USES TWO TYPES OF PALM LATEX GIGA GRIP AND TURF/HARD GROUND

This is your heading The names of latex can be confusing. Top quality gloves typically feature Supreme, Contact, or Giga. These are the types of latex that our gloves have.text.

  • Giga grip is smooth and soft. This means that the glove will provide cushion when catching the ball along with very high tackiness.
  • Another type of palm latex used is a turf/hard ground. This type of glove is excellent for those exact conditions. The turf/hard ground palm is slightly more durable then smooth latex like Giga grip. However, it is also slightly less tacky.

One final item to consider when looking at the palm latex of a goalkeeper glove is its thickness. Typically latex will be 3.5mm or 4mm. Most of keepher‘s gloves have 4 mm latex. This provides a good balance between cushioning and feel.
