Keep Hands Warm Without Bulk - thanks to brushed lining and wind-blocking outer
A brushed inner lining traps a thin layer of air close to the skin, creating insulation while the smooth outer surface resists wind chill and water penetration. The technical stretch material maintains a close, second-skin fit rather than bulky layers.
Warmth is delivered with minimal added thickness, so hand movement and finger control remain agile during play. Suitable for training and matches when cold, blustery conditions appear.
Consistent Ball Control in Wet Conditions - with welded Optimum signature grip palms
Welded grip palms use specialised surface technology to maximise friction against the ball even when wet, reducing slippage. The grip pattern is integrated into the palm to avoid seams that can peel or degrade.
More reliable catches and passes during rainy games and damp pitches, helping retain possession more often. Useful for players who compete across a season of mixed weather.
Secure, Personalised Fit for Active Use - with wrist velcro strap and stretch construction
A velcro wrist strap allows adjustable tension to lock warmth in and prevent the glove slipping during aggressive movement. Stretch fabric across the hand and fingers keeps the liner conforming to different hand shapes and sizes.
A snug, custom fit reduces distractions and prevents heat loss around the wrist, making quick handling and prolonged wear more comfortable. Easy to put on and remove between drills or matches.
