“I first brought a pair of Zapkam goalkeeper gloves off...”

written by on 08/01/2010

I first brought a pair of Zapkam goalkeeper gloves off in 2007 for £21.99. I brought them because I had stepped up a level in football and needed something that would serve me well for 50 games a season. I have brought 5 pairs of Zapkam gloves in total now and below are my thoughts.



Style:

The style in the Zapkam gloves is very good in regards to colour and protection for your fingers but the only thing that lets the style down is that the gloves come in all different sizes even if its sold as the same size. I came across this problem with the 3rd pair of gloves I brought. I had ordered 2 pairs of the exact same glove in the same size and when I got them one felt great and the other one was well too tight.



Performance Enhancement:

Zapkam gloves are excellent at just about everything in dry/mildly damp conditions but are terrible in wet conditions. Zapkam do sell gloves for different weather conditions and they sell gloves that are all round/weather gloves. The all round gloves from Zapkam that I recommend are the SuperSoft. I recommend these because I had them for a season and they never let me down once.



Value for Money:

Value for Money is the best part of Zapkam. You can buy 4 pairs of Zapkam gloves for the price of buying one pair of sells for example. Zapkam gloves are normally retailed from £21.99 to £32.99.



Overall:

Zapkam is my favorite goalkeeper glove and will be for a long time. I would recommend buying more than one pair to suit all conditions.
