FAQs

GENERAL

What gloves are best for Astro?

All our gloves have contact latex which is hard wearing.
To eliminate the backhand staining we would recommend one of our black back-handed gloves (Magna VG+, Noir Hybrid & Lucid VG3)

What Latex do you use on your gloves?

All Gloves use 4mm German contact latex

Do I take the film off the gloves?

All of our gloves have a plastic film on the palms which you must remove before using for the first time.
Be careful & patient when peeling the plastic, rushing the process can lead to damaging the palms.

What is the wear and tear like?

Wear and tear is a natural process as we use the highest quality contact latex. Abrasion is caused by friction between the ball/ground and the gloves, meaning it can happen at any time (even after the first use). This is common in all high end latex and is not a material defect or reason for complaint.

Should my gloves be dry before use?

Keep gloves damp during use. Dry gloves are more susceptible to abrasion.

How long does a pair of gloves last?

Professionals go through gloves at a much higher rate than amateurs due to the demand and use at their level. An average amateur can go through four pairs of gloves a year, meaning one pair can last for at least a few months. How you look after your gloves has a big impact on how long they will last overall.
