100% legal - 0% fair. With the new adidas Predator 20 goalkeeper gloves you radiate aggressiveness and power. The Pradator has sharp, animal-like design lines and is the most feared glove on the planet.
Palm/Foam
- URG 2.0: The surface consists of 3.5 mm extremely soft foam and an additional cushioning layer. This results in outstanding impact absorption. The very high grip in all weather conditions in combination with a further improved durability make this adhesive foam a perfect choice for all ambitious goalkeepers.
- Anatomical flex zones: The embossing on the fingers and on the rubber supports the natural movements of the hand and prevents bulging of the adhesive foam. This construction makes the glove even more flexible and contributes to a perfect, tight fit.
- Extended Adhesive Foam: The extended catching surface on the wrist allows for increased grip when securing the ball.
Cut
- Negative cut: The negative cut ensures a tight and comfortable fit on the fingers. The goalkeeper gets a perfect fit and an optimal feeling for the ball. 80% of adidas professional goalkeepers play with this cut.
- Improved fit: The mesh layer of the fingers is made of one piece and anatomically shaped. This leads to a very direct ball contact. Thanks to a reduced number of seams, the comfort increases noticeably.
Backhand
- Demonskin: The new backhand offers over 400 small, spiky silicone elements. The spikes are constructed like the spikes known from athletics and interact with the surface of the ball. Especially in the punching area, these silicone elements provide a high grip, thus also a very high ball control and extend the contact time of the glove with the ball, which improves the power distribution and the power transmission, so that the ball can be defended further than before when fisting. As a result, the fist defence is much more targeted, controlled and further than before. The silicone spikes also improve the stability of the mechano backhand without negatively influencing the flexibility.
- Mechano-Material: The once again revised, very functional Mechano-Material is breathable and very elastic. The lightweight fabric offers high flexibility and adapts perfectly to all deformations of the goalkeeper glove.
Closure
- Detachable Stretch-Strap: The detachable stretch strap is a sensational new development by adidas. The new closure system offers goalkeepers the possibility to individually adjust the fit. Play without strap for a natural fit with unlimited freedom of movement or with strap for better stabilization.
- asymmetrical Mechanical Bandage: the Mechanical Bandage is completely integrated into the glove body and has an asymmetrical closure. Due to the Lycra insert in V-shape, it is flexible enough to guarantee a very comfortable fit into the glove and still offer a high stability of the wrist.
- Extended entry: The extension of the entry up to the forearm ensures maximum freedom of movement and still allows a firm, secure fit on the wrist.
More Features
- Thumb Wrap: The rolled coating on the thumb provides increased stability and a firm fit for the thumb. This supports the goalkeeper in all his catching and defensive movements.
- completely inside sewn backhand for an even tighter fit and a further noticeable improvement of the ball feeling
