Great looks - poor performance - Nike Tiempo SGT 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...

Review of Nike Tiempo Premier SGT Goalkeepers Gloves

No serious goalkeeper should be wearing anything but fingersaves!

Advantages: Protection from breaks and increased control
Disadvantages: Can be a bit strange at first if not used to fingersaves but easy to adapt to!

...I thought I would write this review as I have had a great experience with this product. I'm no professional, though play football at a respectable level and consider myself to be a promising young goalkeeper. I had never bothered with fingersave gloves before I broke my index finger in a game last year. I decided following it's recovery that I should invest in a pair of fingersave gloves. I must admit I had my reservations about these in particular with respect to mobility. I thought the bending of the fingers would be restricted too much but I was wrong. I invested in a pair of these and they have been brilliant, no problems whatsoever. If there is anyone out there not wearing fingersave gloves, then invest in a pair, because you only need to break a finger that refuses to heal properly and you've got problems. These gloves...

Review of Adidas Fingersave Replique Goalkeepers Glove

Natural Rubber Gloves.

Advantages: A good quality product that is durable.
Disadvantages: None.

...Rubber gloves are not on my list of favourite things to buy, I rarely wear them for anything else other cleaning drains or unblocking sink traps. But saying that I always keep a pair in my cupboard for dealing with those unforeseen emergencies. Getting the right type of rubber gloves can be tricky, some are so flimsy that they tear on their first outing, others can be so thick that you cannot feel your fingers and if you manage to buy the right size first time around then you are a far better woman than I am. The cheap rubber gloves are very hit and miss, they invariably have no lining and will end up damaging the skin on your hands. I find that the supermarket own brands often make my hands sweat so when I take the glove off my skin looks wrinklier than ever. Pay a little more for a pair of rubber gloves and you seem to get...

Review of SuperGlove Household Gloves

The ultimate gloves for total control!!!

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. Well, being a dedicated Arsenal fan at the time, this swung the Nike's in my favour, so it was these I decided to get! PACKAGING After about two weeks of (anxious) waiting, my gloves arrived. I undid the secure wrapping and got my gloves out with their own special wrapping. The wrapping is like a bag, with some vents on the side, and a see-through front so you can see you product. On the back it is card, and here there is some information on the gloves inside and a small picture as well. I think that...

Review of Nike Vapor Grip 3

They Fit Just Like A Glove.

Advantages: Provides relief and protects hands.
Disadvantages: Not widely available on the high street. Need to come in other sizes.

...moved as much. When it is on our hands it is not as easy because they are being used all the time, and if the skin is dry it is more likely to crack. So I try very hard to take extra care of my hands during the winter months, and I'm always on the lookout for anything that will help to protect my hands to avoid my them from becoming dry and sore. Prevention is always better than cure. In the cold winter months when I'm out and about walking I wear gloves to keep my hands warm and to protect them from the harsh elements. This helps prevent my hands from drying more. However wearing regular gloves in the house limits the movement in my hands, and makes certain tasks difficult. One winter when my hands were suffering quite a bit, I went into my local chemist to ask for advice, to see what would be best to use on my hands to keep...

Review of Jasmine Silk Cotton Moisturising Gloves

Nike Tiempo Legend

Advantages: Soft, Leathery, Goal Scorers Classic
Disadvantages: Leather wears slightly

...The world renowned Ronaldinho sports these amazing, sultry boots they are soft inside and the leather is ever so soft. The custom nike pattern gives it a fashionable design. Nike Tiempo Legend are used by 9% Premier League Players. This boot is great for soft ground and this is seen by the amount of footballers who wear it. I had these shoes last season and they are still in mint condition which show quality is a must as with most Nike products. I normally go for the coveted 3 striped but this was an eye catching yet basic design i thoroughly enjoyed putting 25 goals past the keeper last year and will certainly use these as they have fast become my favourite and luckiest boots. I advise you to purchase this as it is a bargain. You'll be mad to miss it....

Review of Nike Tiempo

nike tiempo boots

Advantages: nice design, light
Disadvantages: not strong, dont prevent injury

...been wearing my mitre boots the injury would not have occurred as the leather would have been stronger and would have prevented my ankle from twisting. This is just in my experience but i am noticing this more and more in the modern day nike boots. I gotta say in defense of them though that the design is nice and they are extremely light. But maybe as my story proves that isnt such a good thing. If you are a real footballer who likes to play alot and not just against mates but competitively then i would not recommend these boots. Sure they look nice but if they dont prevent injury then it doesnt matter how they look. Save some money and get the old school mitre boots lol, or just buy the total 90s they are my personal favourites and are still quite cheap....

Review of Nike Tiempo

That little Extra Strength

Advantages: Excellent support for fingers, good grip, good punch
Disadvantages: None that I can find so far

...You've had those days in goal, where you've dived long, landed hard, got your fingers to the ball as it was flashing by and you think "YES...what a save!", unfortunately your fingers didn't quite hold up and it snuck into the corner.... Well no more, when I found these gloves this season, I was immediately taken by them, the shop didn't have my size, didn't know when they would get some more, so I took one size smaller and they've worked out well. The strengthened strips in the back of each finger serve several purposes : 1. They add strength to your fingers when making saves that require that "fingertip" touch 2. They stop your fingers being bent back and injured on all parts of your hand 3. They give some protection for stubbing your finger on the ball and from doing damage to your finger tips. Punching is...

Review of Top+15 Goalkeeper Glove

Scrub a Dub Dub Gloves In The Tub

Advantages: reveals brighter younger looking skin
Disadvantages: not suitable for people with dry skin conditions

...I am forever buying beauty products and spend a small fortune on new ones each month. I am particularly fond of Nougat Exfoliating Body Wash and I use two 200ml bottles a month. Each bottle of Nougat Exfoliating Body Wash cost me £18 so I was spending £36 per month which is quite expensive for just one product. So when I spotted the Exfoliating gloves in the Body Shop for £3 I decided to buy them. The main reason I bought them was because they were cheap and if I liked them then I would save over £430 per year because I would no longer buy Nougat Exfoliating Body Wash. The exfoliating gloves just look like a normal pair of white gloves you would wear in the winter weather. The only difference is that the exfoliating gloves are made from a slightly scratchy synthetic material, similar to a scouring pad. I was a bit wary about using...

Review of The Body Shop Shower Gloves

Gloves 'r' us

Advantages: cheap, very effective
Disadvantages: Not sure if they would fit men??

...How bizarre just the thought of wearing gloves whilst in the shower made my husband laugh. I read a few reviews about these gloves and finally decided to buy them from Duty Free Bodyshop whilst stranded at Gatwick airport for 5hours recently. Since they were slightly cheaper than the highstreet shops (I think......well they were cheap anyway at £3.40 each), I decided to buy 2pairs. I bought a lilac pair for myself and a cream pair hoping my husband would give them a go. Honestly, my husband could not stop laughing thinking of all the things you can buy at duty free, I bought funky looking gloves. Anyways, I didn't use them whilst on holiday and they were shoved to the bottom of my suitcase. I normally am very sensitive in the sun and easily burn and suffer very badly from prickly heat. I had decided not to use the gloves...
