Lacrosse Gloves

Lacrosse gloves are essential protective gear, and their design and features can vary depending on the player's position. Here's a breakdown of the key differences between gloves for field players and goalies:

Field Player Gloves

• Prioritize Flexibility and Feel: Field players need gloves that allow for maximum dexterity and ball control.
• Moderate Protection: While protection is important, field player gloves prioritize flexibility and a natural feel.
• Features:
  • Flexible materials for ease of movement.
  • Minimal padding to enhance feel.
  • Secure wrist straps for a customized fit.

Goalie Gloves

• Maximum Protection: Goalies face the highest risk of injury, so their gloves offer significantly more protection.
• Thick Padding: Goalies' gloves have thicker padding on the back of the hand, fingers, and thumb to shield against hard shots.
• Reinforced Thumb: The thumb is often reinforced with extra padding or a plastic guard to protect against impact.
• Extended Cuff: The cuff is longer to protect the wrist and forearm.
