Nike Grip 3 Goalkeeper Gloves

Advantages: Stunning looks, very comfortable.
Disadvantages: Very poor grip

...Since being young I have been borderline obsessed with goalkeeper gloves. In my late teens and early 20's I was buying up to 8 pairs of gloves a season. Outrageous, yes maybe, but I was hooked with the feel and optimism that a new pair of gloves would bring. My mates bought boots by the, er, boot load, I however always opted for gloves. Imagine then my disappointment with this purchase. They look the absolute part, having an excellent colour scheme and that massive Nike tick, reassurance usually of a well-made product. I fell for these gloves immediately and parted with something in the region of £65 for them. I had made a mistake. The main problem with these gloves is the foam. 4mm latex palms are what you would expect from professional quality gloves, but by my own admission the SGT technology was an intriguing concept...

Advantages: Amazing comfort, fantastic grip, great looking pair of gloves
Disadvantages: A little bit expensive

...with the perfect pair of gloves for me. After a long while, I had eventually got the long list down to two pairs of gloves. They were the Uhlsport Absolute 360 Touch and the Nike Vapor Grip 3. They were quite evenly matched, apart from one thing, the Nike Vapor Grip 3's are worn by Arsenal and Germany's number one goalkeeper Jens Lehman.

Advantages: Look and feel great
Disadvantages: None

...These gloves, unlike many others, took me at least a year for them to start wearing away which for me is great as i train and play a lot. They have great grip and it has superb protection from injures like no other! The Nike Vapor Grip 3 are one of the best gloves that you can buy,they aren't at a ridiculous price like some other great gloves. I think Nike have hit a goldmine here. The gripping ability is excellent and they are also very comfortable even after you have worn them fo 2 and a half hours. They have a lovely soft foam palm which is not only comfrotable it also gives you better grip what you need. I think that the Nike Vapor Grip 3 is one of the best gloves around and suit most weather conditions so they are well recommended.There are many sizes so don't worry if you have giant hands or really smal ones....
