Goalie Gloves Pads

What are the best goalie pads that I should get?

Im planing on getting new RBK pads, glove and blocker (same color and style). I also dont want to spend more then $1000. What is the best style that I should get. I want them to be durable and still be protective. I play U18 AA hockey

Well basically all RBK pads are made in china now, Bauer is made in vietnam, and only the pro vaughn pads are made in canada. any pad that is made overseas will not last as long as you would want. Check out Don Simmons for sure. they have deals all the time. and only sell equip that is made in canada or north america. I wear simmons and ive had my set for about 3 years now and they are still in such good condition that as much as i want a new set i dont NEED a new set lol. and Im on the ice 4-5 times a week.

Goalkeeper Gloves Are The ‘In’ Thing

Goalkeeper gloves are the ‘in’ thing.

A Goalkeeper is thought of as one of the main players in a soccer or football game. This is the player position that rescues the day by preventing the opponent from scoring.

The goalkeeper catches a football aimed into the goalpost; usually, he or she does this by catching a ball kicked into the net.

This is a very important reason why goalkeepers put on gloves so they can grip the ball better and shield their fingers, palms and wrists so they won’t be injured by a fast moving ball. Balls kicked by strikers especially are delivered with great speed and intensity.

To shield their hands from being injured when they attempt to grab the ball it is necessary for goalkeepers to have gloves with the best possible fit.

There are a few kinds of goalkeeper gloves to choose from. The type you choose depends on pockets, level of skill, and the weather conditions. It is a common practice for goalkeepers to use one pair of gloves for training and practice and another pair exclusively for the main game. Experienced players have two sets of gloves, an old pair for practice and a new and better pair for the game.

Goalkeeper gloves are made of smooth latex because this gives the best grip. You can also get gloves that are made from dimpled and textured latex; these may last longer but they are not as good as the latex ones. It is generally recognized that the thicker the latex, the finer the gloves work. Since the wrists and fingers are better protected, they are less likely to get injured.

Goalie gloves should be snug but still provide flexibility. The hand should feel comfortable inside the glove with no room for excessive movement. The gloves should have adequate padding and mobility so the ball can be utilized.

A goalie should make sure his gloves fit properly. One strategy used by some goalkeepers is purchasing slightly larger gloves, so that the bigger surface area offers the possibility of stopping the ball without much effort. Glove size corresponds with footwear size.

Bear in mind that when you buy an expensive pair of goalie gloves, you won’t get as much wear out of them because they are made of materials that are not as strong as the those used to make less expensive gloves.

Each manufacturer of goalkeeper gloves has their own patented formulation.

Gloves manufactured by Zapkam offer excellent grip quality and fit.
