For many fans of football gear it's all about the technology, and many might not realise how much has gone into this new Reusch goalkeeper glove. The stand-out tech is the finger and thumb protection which reduces the risk of injury. Individually removable, these spines are constructed to work in motion with the fingers when closing, yet lock-out to prevent the finger from hyper-extending.
The anatomical shaping of the hand and the pre-spreading of the fingers make the Ergonomic Support System support a natural catching position. The latex is also slightly pulled up on the little finger's side, designed to provide a larger catching area and a tighter optimized fit.
The Reusch Keon Deluxe G2 Ortho-Tec gloves are designed to deliver high reflexibity and maximum ball control with unaltered gripping qualities. The G2 Ultrasoft palm absolutely outranks its forerunner in terms of grip in dry and wet conditions with a 3.5mm latex, whilst also offering the best possible cushioning when stopping very hard and fast balls.
An expanded finger tip system maximises the palm around the finger tips for a greater surface area for catching and better control when touching the ball. A special Lycra insert in the zone between thumb and palm ensures best flexibility and prevents cuts on the latex.
Reusch have introduced the enhanced version of their successful and established Shockshield. The damping material and embossment on the backhand of the Keon Deluxe G2 glove provide the goalkeeper with more safety, advanced protection and better ball control when defending with punching.
There are some nice touches that make the Keon Deluxe G2 goalkeeping gloves stand-out. One is the Duraguard which is the five extra pads of palm material placed on the most stained part of the palm to protect it from abrasion, and made from a more abrasive resistant latex.
There is also the Air-Vent-System, technically designed to provided maximum ventilation inside the Keon Deluxe G2 glove. A highly breathable air mesh material covering the entire backhand and the sides of the fingers ensures optimum air circulation within the glove.
Goalkeepers may only make up one eleventh of a football team, but arguably their gloves are one the most important pieces of equipment on the pitch. The final line of defence, a keeper relies on a comfortable glove that won't let you down, and with the technological advancements of the Reusch Keon Deluxe goalkeeper gloves there are few better on the market.
