goalie gloves

Shot-stopping handwear

Goalie gloves are padded gloves worn by soccer goalkeepers to protect their hands and improve grip when catching or deflecting the ball.

The palms feature textured latex for adhesion, while the backs are cushioned to absorb impact from hard shots.

Also called goalkeeper gloves or goalie mitts.
