Puma One Protect 18.2 GC

Palm/Foam

• 4 mm Supersoft Foam: An above-average popular foam that combines abrasion resistance, lightness and excellent grip. Through additional components and an added foam lamination, the goalkeeper now has even better damping properties.

Cut

• Rollfinger: This cut provides more contact surface between ball and glove as well as better damping behaviour. It provides a very comfortable, unique all-round feel because the latex coating is rolled around the finger and pulled out to the fingertips. In this area it provides a little more centimetres and therefore more protection. The goalkeeper gets a seamless all-round grip. An optimal cut for all goalkeepers who feel most comfortable with extra foam and cushioning.

backhand

• Punching Zone made of silicone: The cushioning layer on the backhand offers improved protection and control when fisting the ball. The backhand gives the goalkeeper an additional confidence to be able to reach safely for the fist defense in dangerous situations.
• Latex backhand: The latex material on the backhand impresses with its resistance. The very robust material is very light weight and gives the goalkeeper additional security.
• With Silicone Reinforced backhand for increased comfort and protection

Closure

• Elastic wrist bandage With full-circumferential latch for more stability and a secure fit on the wrist.

Finger protection

• Puma Finger Protection: Puma PFP technology is specifically designed to protect goalkeepers from injuries caused by ball impact. At an angle of 180º, the PFP blocks and prevents fingers from overstretching. This significantly reduces the risk of finger or hand injury. The PFP rods are located in specially developed tunnels made of shock-absorbing material and can be removed individually to meet the individual requirements of the goalkeeper.

Other features

• Twin-Wrap-Thumb: Increases the ball contact area, supports the thumb area and offers high wearing comfort.
• Mesh inserts both on the thumb, between the fingers and on the backhand: The mesh material used provides increased and improved ventilation. The mesh fabric, also known as lattice vinyl, is an elastic fabric with a nertz-like breakthrough and is therefore very light and air-permeable. A mesh insert is particularly permeable to sweat that pushes outwards from the hand. Mesh material is often used in goalkeeper gloves to improve air circulation in the glove and moisture-induced slippage inside the glove.
• Anatomical Tooling: The anatomically adapted and correct cut follows the natural posture of the fingers and thus guarantees the goalkeeper an even more comfortable fit.
