Protect Your Grip. Maximise Your Performance.

At ATLAS 1GK, we design our gloves to deliver outstanding grip, comfort, and confidence when it matters most. Like any high-performance piece of equipment, proper care is essential to ensure your gloves perform at their highest level and last as long as possible.

  • Before Your First Match or Training Session

    Before wearing your new ATLAS 1GK gloves for the first time, we strongly recommend giving them a pre-wash and allowing them to dry naturally.

    This important step removes any manufacturing residues from the latex and activates the palm to deliver the grip it was designed to provide. For goalkeepers who demand the very best performance, a second pre-wash can further enhance the latex and ensure your gloves are match-ready from the moment you step onto the pitch.

    ATLAS Tip: A properly activated latex palm will provide greater confidence, control, and ball contact from your very first save.

  • During Play

    To maintain peak performance, lightly dampen the latex palms throughout training sessions and matches.

    Professional-grade latex performs best when slightly moist. Keeping the palms hydrated helps maximise grip, improves ball control, and reduces unnecessary wear on the latex. This is why many professional goalkeepers regularly wet their gloves during games.

    Whether you're dealing with wet weather, dry conditions, or a high-intensity match, keeping your ATLAS 1GK gloves slightly damp allows the latex to perform exactly as intended.

    ATLAS Tip: Carry a water bottle near your goal or bench to refresh your palms whenever needed.

  • After Play

    Once training or the final whistle is over, wash your ATLAS 1GK gloves as soon as possible.

    Dirt, mud, sweat, and artificial pitch particles can all affect the performance and lifespan of your latex. Cleaning your gloves immediately after use prevents debris from embedding into the palm and helps preserve the grip for longer.

    After washing, allow your gloves to air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area.

  • Drying Your Gloves

    Never place your gloves on radiators, in tumble dryers, direct sunlight, or near any artificial heat source.

    Excessive heat can dry out the latex, causing it to become brittle, reducing both grip and durability. Instead, gently squeeze out excess water using a towel and leave the gloves to dry naturally at room temperature.

    Keeping the latex healthy and hydrated is one of the simplest ways to extend the life of your gloves and maintain the performance you expect from ATLAS 1GK.

The ATLAS 1GK Promise

Every ATLAS 1GK glove is built with premium materials and professional-grade latex designed by goalkeepers who understand the demands of the position. By following these simple care steps, you'll maximise grip, improve durability, and ensure your gloves remain ready to perform whenever your team needs you.
