The weather, the pitch, the level of the match - all determine what you’ll pack with you!
🧤 GLOVES
You have to make the right choice.
If it’s raining, Aqua is your best call — the palm latex activates with water and gives you a firm grip on every save.
If the pitch is dry or made of hard artificial turf — the ones we love to hate — then HardGrip+, like the one used on IronPalm, is the smart move.
You’ll get the grip you need without burning weeks of lifespan with every dive.
😎 And if you see a perfect pitch, that’s when you wear your “good” gloves. Don’t waste them on mud and hard plastic — every latex has its own surface.
⚔ BASE LAYERS
What you wear under your kit matters more than you think.
On rough pitches, protective base layers with impact-absorbing pads protect your hips during dives.
👉🏼 No one wants to hesitate before a low shot or a full stretch that could save a sure goal.
If the pitch allows it, you can skip the protection - a simple base layer up top, shorts below, or just a thin layer for that clean look in photos 😅
⚽ ACCESSORIES
For perfect grip, use glove glue, even for a quick halftime refresh.
📌 But the real key is washing your gloves after the game, so they stay fresh and ready for the next big match.
Use a glove deodorizer too - keep them smelling right and silence those dressing-room jokes 🥶
➕ Pack everything neatly in your glove bag, so your focus stays where it should: on your next decisive save!
