Palm/Foam
- URG 2.0: Newly developed adhesive foam from adidas, which is used for the first time in the spring/summer 2019 collection. The covering consists of 3.5 mm extremely soft foam and an additional damping layer. This results in excellent 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.
- Abrasion Zone: To increase the longevity of the glove, an abrasion-resistant latex coating is used. Tests have shown that wear is greatest in the "abrasion zone". Therefore, it makes sense to use a more robust material again at this point. However, the grip is not impaired when catching.
Cut
- Negative Cut: This tight-fitting cut guarantees a perfect fit. The inner seam cut with tight textile layers in combination with the revolutionary knitted backhand material ensures seamless wearing comfort. Approx. 80% of all adidas profitorhüter play with this cut.
Backhand
- Now also with the Predator Fingersave: The knitted backhand.
The introduction of the predator goalkeeper glove in early 2018 brought with it the knitted backhand an unprecedented revolution on the goalkeeper glove market.
The complete backhand was knitted in production from one piece. This guarantees the goalkeeper much more freedom and flexibility both when entering and when actively carrying. The completely crease-free backhand adapts optimally to the specific movements of the goalkeeper and sits like a second skin. - Punching Zone: The punching zone is the newly designed, highly flexible fist defense area on the backhand. The arrangement and division of the silicone elements was again improved compared to the predecessor model . The goal is to give the goalkeeper the possibility to further and more controlled fist without losing stability or flexibility. The silicone material ensures a safe fist with optimal ball control with maximum power transmission. The fingers lose no mobility and remain very flexible. The fist zone harmonises perfectly with the knitted backhand.
Clasp
- Detachable Stretch-Strap: The Removable Stretch-Strap is a sensational new development for the Autumn/Winter collection 2019. The new closure system offers goalkeepers the possibility to adjust their fit individually. Play without strap for a natural fit with unrestricted freedom of movement or with strap for better stabilisation.
- Close-fitting Bandage: The revolutionary bandage nestles like a glove, without annoying seams, around every wrist. In combination with the knitted material of the backhand, the very flexible and adjustable glove can be worn by any goalkeeper. The glove adapts to both very narrow and thicker wrists without deforming.
- Tightening help: For easy access, no tearing or pulling is necessary, which greatly simplifies the everyday use of the top glove.
Finger protection
- Finger protection system: The flexible and adaptable protection system protects fingers from overloading and injuries. The ergonomically shaped sticks adapt optimally to the goalkeeper's fingers. The extremely movable construction allows the individual fingers an unlimited flexible grip without additional effort, while bending the fingers backwards into the injury zone is almost impossible. The Thumb has none finger guard sticks.
Other features
- Thumb Wrap: The rolled covering on the thumb provides increased stability and a firm fit for the thumb. This supports the goalkeeper in all his catching and defensive movements.
