contact latex vs soft foam

Goalkeeper Glove Materials Explained – Latex, Foam, Mesh & More

Goalkeeper gloves aren’t just about the brand—you need to understand what’s inside them.

Here’s a breakdown:

🧤 Latex Types:

  • Contact Latex – Pro-level grip, amazing in all weather

  • Supersoft – Beginner-friendly, softer, less durable

  • Hard Ground Latex – Made for 3G/turf, sacrifices some grip for durability

🧤 Backhand Types:

  • Mesh – Breathable, lightweight

  • Neoprene – Snug, compressive fit

  • Rubber punch zones – Added power and durability

🧤 Palm Cuts:

  • Negative = slim, Roll = thick, Hybrid = control

💡 ProvenGK uses pro-grade German Contact Latex and hybrid cuts for the perfect balance between grip, durability, and fit.
