Bringing the X-Factor to your game

Goalkeepers demand gloves that deliver superior grip, comfort, and durability. The 1NSX goalkeeper gloves bring a fresh wave of improvements over its predecessors, the 1NS PRO and the original 1NS models. These enhancements focus on a completely redesigned two-piece backhand, a new embossed backhand model, and the inclusion of three distinct cuts—Negative, Hybrid, and Roll-Finger—all featuring the same elite German Contact Latex. This post explores the thoughtful development process behind the 1NSX gloves and how they aim to serve goalkeepers at every level.

Redesigned Two-Piece Backhand for Enhanced Performance

One of the most noticeable upgrades in the 1NSX gloves is the complete overhaul of the backhand design. Unlike the original 1NS and 1NS PRO, which had simpler one piece backhand constructions, the 1NSX introduces a more ergonomic and flexible two-piece backhand. This design allows for better hand movement and improved flexibility without negating any of the protection of the previous models.

The two-piece backhand is crafted to follow the natural contours of the hand and thumb, reducing stiffness with mobility and increasing comfort. This means you as a goalkeeper can react faster and punch with more confidence. The segmented design also helps distribute impact forces more evenly, reducing strain from firm shots.

Embossed Backhand Surface Creates Enhanced Punch Zone

The 1NSX gloves feature a newly designed embossed backhand that significantly increases the surface area available for punching. This embossed texture is not just for aesthetics; it provides extra grip and control when goalkeepers need to punch the ball from crosses.

By expanding the punch zones, the gloves give you as a goalkeeper more options to direct the ball effectively. Whether it's a powerful punch or a guiding the ball into a safe area, the embossed backhand aids you with the ability to influence the game beyond just catching.

Three Elite Cuts to Suit Every Goalkeeper

The 1NSX gloves come in three different cuts: Negative, Hybrid, and Roll-Finger. Each cut offers unique benefits while sharing the same high-quality German Contact Latex palm.

• Negative Cut

This cut features a tight fit with stitched seams inside the palm, providing excellent ball contact and control. It is ideal for goalkeepers who prefer a snug glove that enhances feeling of a natural catch.

• Hybrid Cut

Combining elements of both Negative and Roll-Finger cuts, the Hybrid offers a balance of comfort and grip. It features a mix of stitched and wrapped seams, making it versatile for any goalkeeper's hand and playing style.

• Roll-Finger Cut

Known for its classic fit, the Roll-Finger cut wraps latex around the fingers, increasing the surface area for catching. This cut is popular among goalkeepers who want maximum cushioning and grip on the ball.

All three cuts use the same elite German Contact Latex, known for its excellent grip in various weather conditions and for long lasting durability. This consistency ensures that goalkeepers can choose their preferred cut without compromising on performance.

Six Months of Development to Perfect the Design

The 1NSX gloves are the result of six months of dedicated design and testing. The development team worked closely with our goalkeepers to gather feedback on fit, flexibility, grip, and durability. This process involved prototypes and adjustments to ensure the gloves meet our high standards.

The focus was on creating gloves that not only perform well but also feel comfortable during uncomfortable matches and training sessions. The team tested the gloves in different weather conditions and playing surfaces to guarantee consistent performance.

Supporting Goalkeepers at Every Level

A key goal behind the 1NSX design was to provide elite gloves accessible to all goalkeepers, whether they are just starting out or seasoned professionals. By offering the same high-quality materials and design features across all cuts, the 1NSX range ensures that every goalkeeper can find a glove that fits their needs and playing style.

This approach supports young goalkeepers developing their skills with reliable equipment and gives experienced players the confidence to perform at their best. The 1NSX gloves aim to be a trusted companion on the field, helping goalkeepers make crucial saves and clearances.

Final Thoughts on the 1NSX Enhancements

The 1NSX goalkeeper gloves mark a significant step forward from the 1NS PRO and original 1NS models. The redesigned two-piece backhand and embossed punch zones improve flexibility, protection, and control. Offering three cuts with the same elite German Contact Latex ensures every goalkeeper can find their perfect fit without sacrificing quality.

After six months of careful development and testing, the 1NSX gloves stand ready to support goalkeepers at all levels. Whether you are training to become a starter or competing at a high level, these gloves provide the performance and comfort needed to excel.
