Better Than My Old Predators—Incredible Padding and Grip
The padding on these gloves is next-level. The finger saves are thick and protective, yet still flexible enough for confident punches. I use these as my match gloves because the grip is outstanding. I used to wear Adidas Predators, but these are way better. Perfect for goalkeepers at any level.

These are working out great for my son! He loves to play goalie. It enables him to stop and grip the ball well.

- EGEvan G.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars4 years agoGladiator Recruit 3 Glove
Price of these gloves was great. The fit and feel of gloves were good but after a few games the palms of the gloves started to wear. Wish they would have lasted longer.
- PPenelopeVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoGladiator Recruit 3 Glove
My daughter is on her 3rd pair of Storellis and she's really enjoying them. We replace them every other season with another pair of the same. They offer good protection and give her confidence when making saves and distributing the ball. Would def recommend for any youth player who is getting serious about the position. This glove runs pretty true-to-size.
- SSamRated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoGladiator Recruit 3 Glove
I can't get over the amount of padding these gloves have. The finger saves are thick and effective, but I can still bend my fingers to easily punch the ball out of the crowd. These are my match gloves_ (because they are so grippy) but I used to have a pair of Adidas Predators fingersaves, but these are soooooo much better.Perfect gloves for all levels of players!
