There are many different types of techniques used to produce the gloves. This mainly affects the fit and where the stitching of the glove is located, which in turn affects the durability of your glove.
With the 'roll finger' technique, the foam is literally rolled around your finger. This creates a larger surface area to catch the ball. This technique is popular with goalkeepers with larger hands.
Gloves with a negative cut have the stitching on the inside of the glove, which makes the glove sit tighter around your hand and feel like a second skin.
This is one of the oldest techniques. Gloves with the 'flat finger' technique are looser than gloves with a different technique. Also, the gloves have a large catching surface.
Hybrid gloves contain a combination of several techniques. They try to bring together the best of multiple worlds.
For years there have been goalkeeper gloves with and without fingersave. Fingersave is a piece of plastic behind all fingers, except the thumb. This finger-save serves as protection against your fingers clapping backwards. Nowadays there are also many models available with finger-save that can be removed from the glove.
Goalkeeper gloves without fingersave give your fingers more freedom in the glove to move and do not force your fingers into a standard position. On the other hand, the risk of injuries to the fingers is higher with these models.
Fingersave in goalkeeper gloves significantly reduces the risk of injuries to the fingers. Fingers can hardly fold backwards and bruised or broken fingers are almost never seen. However, the fingersave does restrict your freedom of movement in the glove and can make your fingers "lazy", making them more susceptible to injury when you stop using fingersave.
Where in the early days all goalkeeper gloves had a wide wristband that could be turned once around the wrist, nowadays there are several variants. The most common is still the single wristband, but goalkeeper gloves with double wristband and without wristband are more and more common.
Most goalkeeper gloves are secured by a wristband with Velcro. This wristband ensures that the glove stays securely around your hand and strengthens the wrist. Nowadays there are also gloves with a so-called "double band", this band can be turned around the wrist twice and gives a firmer feeling.
Nowadays there are goalkeeper gloves without a wristband. With some negative stitch gloves, the fit is so tight that no strap is needed to keep it in place. A goalkeeper glove without wristband provides more freedom of movement and is lighter in weight.
Brands use different types of latex to cover the palm of a goalkeeper's glove, with one type of latex having more grip than another. The only problem is that brands give the different types of latex names that sound as beautiful as they are unclear. In addition, it is not possible on the internet to put on the glove itself, which can make it difficult to get an idea of what you can expect from the grip. That is why we at qeepers have thoroughly tested all gloves. Based on these experiences, we have given the gloves stars. The more stars, the better the grip in dry weather.
Brands use different types of latex to cover the palm of a goalkeeper's glove, with one type of latex having more grip than another. The only problem is that brands give the different types of latex names that sound just as beautiful as they are unclear. Some goalkeeper gloves lose grip when they get wet and others perform best when they get wet. In order to get an idea of what is true for the different goalkeeper gloves, we have extensively tested all gloves. Based on these experiences, we gave the gloves stars. The more stars, the better the grip in wet conditions.
With the advent of artificial grass, the lifetime of goalkeeper gloves has become shorter. The softer the latex (palm) of the glove, the shorter the life span is often in practice. Because it is difficult for you to see how the latex feels on the internet and therefore it is difficult to make an estimation of the life span, we have done this for you. All gloves have been tested by goalkeepers at different levels and have been awarded a number of stars. The scale is, the more stars the longer the goalkeeper gloves maintained their level.

What should you pay attention to when choosing goalkeeper gloves?
First of all, it is important to know what you expect from your new goalkeeper gloves. A given is that when you're looking for maximum grip, you're going to sacrifice something on the lifetime of the goalkeeper's glove. So check for yourself whether you are looking for a goalkeeper's glove that will last a long time or a glove with a very good grip. Of course, it's not the case that you can only choose between these two extremes. You can decide for yourself what grip/durability ratio you are satisfied with.
Fingersave or not?
Then you have to make a choice between goalkeeper gloves with fingersave or goalkeeper gloves without fingersave. If you often have injuries to your fingers or feel insecure without fingersave, we advise you to go for a glove with fingersave. Do you like a little more freedom of movement in your goalkeeper gloves? Then go for goalkeeper gloves without fingersave.
Choice of technique
After that, it is important to determine which technique you like with your goalkeeper gloves. By technique we mean the way the stitching of the gloves is processed. The technique of your gloves is very important, because this determines the fit. These are the different techniques currently on the market: roll finger goalkeeper gloves, negative seam goalkeeper gloves, flat finger goalkeeper gloves and hybrid goalkeeper gloves.
Roll finger
With the roll finger keeper gloves, the latex is, as it were, completely wrapped around your fingers. This ensures that the latex surface is larger and therefore you have a larger surface with grip. This technique also ensures that your fingers have more space in the glove. Especially people with large hands and fingers often like this.
For women this technique is often not so good. This is due to the fact that women generally have smaller and thinner hands. The goalkeeper's gloves can then quickly feel too roomy.
A disadvantage of the roll finger technique is that there is a stitching seam under the ring and middle finger. If you don't take off the gloves carefully by pulling on the fingers of the glove, this seam can be vulnerable.
Negative stitching
The negative stitch goalkeeper gloves have seams that are stitched inwards at the fingers. The vast majority of professional goalkeepers currently opt for this technique. The reason for this is that the glove sits tighter around the hand and feels almost like a second skin. This has a positive effect on the feeling of contact with the ball. These gloves also reduce the risk of broken seams.
A drawback of the negative seam is that you can feel the seams on the inside of the goalkeeper gloves, which can be experienced as uncomfortable. In addition, the latex does not completely surround the fingers of the glove, so your surface area with grip is smaller than with the roll finger.
Flat finger
With a flat finger goalkeeper's glove, the palm is stitched to the glove on the outside of the fingers, you can see the seams. This ensures that the fit is quite wide and you have relatively much room to move. In addition, with this technique the surface with which you catch the ball is the largest.
Hybrid
Finally, there are the hybrid goalkeeper gloves. This is a combination of the best of the different techniques. More and more brands come with goalkeeper gloves where different techniques are combined to create the perfect gloves. Some of these combinations provide surprisingly good fit!
