Catching surface
- URG 2.0: Newly developed adhesive foam from adidas, which has been in use since the spring/summer 2019 collection. The coating consists of 3.5 mm extremely soft foam and an additional inoculation layer. This leads to 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.
- Abrasion Zone: To increase the longevity of the glove, an abrasion-resistant latex coating is used. Tests have shown that in the abrasion zone the wear is the greatest. It therefore makes sense to use a more robust material again at this point. However, the grip is not impaired when catching.
Cut

Backhand
- The introduction of the Predator Goalkeeper glove at the beginning of 2018 brought with it the knitted backhand an unprecedented revolutionon the goalkeeper glove market.

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 has been improved in comparison to the previous model again. The goal is to give the goalkeeper the opportunity to further and more controlled fist without losing stability or flexibility. The silicone material ensures a safe fist with optimal ball control with greater power transmission. The fingers lose no mobility and remain very flexible. The fist zone harmonizes optimally with the knitted Rückhand.
Closure
- Detachable Stretch-Strap: The Removable Stretch-Strap is a sensational new development for the fall/winter collection 2019. The new closure system offers torture boys the possibility to individually adjust their fit. Play without strap for a natural fit with unrestricted freedom of movement or with strap for better stabilization.
- Close-fitting Bandage: The revolutionary bandage nestles around every wrist like a glove, without any stubborn nuances. In combination with the knitted material of the backhand, the very flexible and adaptable glove can be worn by any goalkeeper. The glove adapts to both very narrow and thicker wrists without deforming.
- Tightening aid: For easy entry, no tearing or pulling is necessary, which significantly simplifies the daily use of the top glove.
