Hi guys this is my 1st post,I have been very impressed with the site,I am not the alone being a glove geek,my wife says I am a freak,nope just a rare breed who loves football.goalkeeping and especially gloves I will post more of my glove pictures soon,especially a pair of Oliver Kahn reusch,from basti at Pimp my gloves,they are awsome
These are my gloves for the up and coming season.
The Adidas Fingersave Replique '07, the Puma Robinson Pro Roll and the Reusch Reactor 2000 are this years training gloves.
I have a pair of Sells Comfort Contours and they are such an underrated glove!!!
Dida still needs a team! lol
Why be negative when you can be Positive? Beats me!
Keepers are criticised and praised, its the keepers choice to decide what to listen to.
Here are my gloves from when I've taken goalkeeping serious. The Ho captures i got off PDS for £15 and they were a bargain. The V-Konstrukts were off Great-save not long after they came out. The personalisation looks awesome. The Lotto G-forces are my current gloves and are incredible. Am considering stocking up on them for a cupl of seasons. The Puma V-konstrukt boots boots i got cheap off Lovell Rugby for £30. Sorry about the studs, had a match today.
Here is a picture of my gloves, best gloves I've ever used, gonna get them Pimped soon, just getting new 5mm latex put on them, keeping them as roll finger though. I also have a pair of Adidas Predator Absolutes which I got for free off Dilly, so those boots and the Pimped gloves will be my gear for this season.
ive seen a fair amount of HO gloves up here, does anyone have a problem with the latex coming off very, very quickly i.e. wearing away at the fingers and such?

It depends on the foam used. The Duo Mega Grip latex is almost indestructible. I used a pair last year in 15 matches & the gloves still look 90% new. I used a pair of Enigma's & they shredded in the first 10 minutes of the first match I used them in. Still an excellent glove, but the durability is poor.
I agree about the duo mega grip, I'm still able to use mine and it looks like they have hardly any wear at all ! the grip and durability has been brilliant !
i found the SSG quite durable yet grippy. Only problem is the glove i used (Ho Capture), was a loose glove, so i couldn't fully enjoy it.
Update of the Tiempo collection : 2 Nike Vapor Grip3's and 1 Nike Gunn Cut need to get me through the 2008-2009 season (and beyond I am sure)
for me that is by far the best vapourgrip3 colorway released

Theres a certain quote from Monty Python's Life of Brian that pooped into my head as soon as I saw this, but it cant be repeated
Im lovin those VG3s mate....look great
We take joy by taking the joy from players and spectators.....
OMG Tiempo, i wouldn't blame you if on match day you decided not to wear them because they look that damn good. Best nike colour ways yet. Not keen on the spynes, confidence and t90 classic though. im not a big fan of majority black backhands.
I tried those Gunn Cuts in a scrimmage today. The grip is oustanding and they are extremely comfortable. I didn't think I would like the extended palm as it would be my first glove in a while with one, but I actually didn't mind it.
I am going to try the Gunn Cuts with the extended palm first, but I have already considered cutting the extension of, as I did with the previous Gunn Cut (the blue/white one) because I did not like it on that pair, an idea I got from Cardiff after he had mentionned he SMU'ed his pair like that
And I loved the white colorway of the VG3's as soon as I saw the first picture of them... That's why I ordered 2 of them Still using my VG3 RS Promo's at the moment, needed to slap my own hands last night to keep the white ones out of my bag for tonight's game
