Gloves, shirts, trousers: pages to check for equipping a goalkeeper

Each type of item has its own page, allowing you to go directly to what you're looking for.

• The goalkeeper gloves, the essential item to protect the hands and improve ball handling on shots and crosses.
• The goalkeeper shirts, in fits and colours specific to the position, often with long sleeves.
• The goalkeeper baselayers, to be worn under the shirt for comfort and extra protection during falls.
• The goalkeeper trousers, designed to cushion impacts on the floor and protect the knees and hips.
• The goalkeeper socks, often reinforced at the shin.
• The goalkeeper kits, to find a matching shirt and shorts or trousers in one reference.
• The protective gear, to complete the outfit with appropriate protective equipment for the position.

Which brands equip goalkeepers?

Several specialised brands can be found in this selection, each with its own product lines. Uhlsport and Reusch are brands historically associated with goalkeeping, present here with shorts, trousers and kits. Nike offers its goalkeeper gloves in several ranges, while adidas, Joma, Rinat and T1TAN complete the offering on gloves and kits. McDavid focuses more on protection and comfort, with dedicated shorts.

How to choose goalkeeper equipment wisely for a Christmas gift?

The choice primarily depends on the age of the goalkeeper: shirts and shorts are available in children's versions for the younger ones, with cuts suitable for their body shape. For gloves, the size is chosen based on the hand circumference and not solely on age, so it's better to check a size guide before purchasing. If you don't know the exact size of the goalkeeper you're gifting the equipment to, a shirt or baselayer is often easier to adjust than a pair of gloves.

When to take advantage of good deals on goalkeeper equipment?

Several permanent sections of the site allow you to spot the best opportunities on gloves, shirts and goalkeeper kits, to keep an eye on at different times of the year. The Black Friday is often one of the first key events, followed by the holiday season for last-minute gifts. Next come the winter sales, followed by the French Days in spring. Outside of these peak times, the Clearance, Deals, and Special Offers pages should be checked throughout the year, while the New Arrivals page allows you to follow the arrival of the latest collections. If you need an item quickly, the Shipped in 24h page gathers products available immediately.
