⚡ At a Glance
- • Grip Performance: Patterned silicone mesh on the palms reduces slipping while four-way stretch nylon maintains consistent contact with balls and equipment
- • Best for: Active children aged approximately 6 to 14 who play contact or ball sports and children with sensory sensitivities
- • Not ideal for: Children who need full-finger protection or heavy thermal insulation
Tough nylon construction combined with patterned silicone palms delivers reliable grip without adding bulk. Half-finger design and an elasticated wrist opening allow easy on and off while keeping a snug fit.
Secure catches and handling – with patterned silicone mesh on the palms
Patterned silicone mesh is bonded to the palm area to increase friction where hands meet balls, rackets or handlebars. Four-way stretch fabric keeps the palm surface flush with the hand so the pattern sits where it needs to work.
Improved contact and reduced slipping help youngsters catch, hold and control equipment more consistently during play.
Freedom of movement – thanks to tough four-way stretch nylon
A lightweight nylon with four-way elasticity allows the fabric to expand and return across fingers and the back of the hand. Elasticated thread is used in seams to reduce the chance of splitting at stress points.
Natural hand movement for throwing, gripping and manoeuvring, with durability that stands up to regular use.
Sensory-friendly fit and easy changes – with half-finger design and elasticated wrist opening
Half-finger construction exposes fingertips for tactile feedback while the stretch fabric ensures a snug hold. The wrist opening is elasticated for a secure closure that can be pulled on or off quickly.
Children who prefer tactile input or who find full gloves uncomfortable can still enjoy a close fit and quick removal between activities.
