Joma Hunter 401477.021 Fluorescent Green – Youth Goalkeeper Gloves with 3mm Protection

The Joma Hunter 401477.021 are fluorescent green and black goalkeeper gloves designed specifically for young goalkeepers under 14-16 who seek protection, reliable grip, and comfort during training and matches. Thanks to the 3mm protective foam and latex palm, these gloves offer impact cushioning and a secure grip on the ball in all weather conditions.

Technical Features and Materials

• Palm: High-grip latex for optimal grip on dry and wet balls
• Protection: 3mm EVA foam on backhand and fingers for impact absorption and joint protection
• Backhand: Water-resistant material with lycra inserts for flexibility
• Cuff: Breathable elastic with hook-and-loop closure for adjustable fit and wrist support
• Fingers: Ergonomic construction with natural pre-curve to reduce fatigue
• Stitching: Reinforced in high-stress areas (thumb, index finger) for increased durability
• Weight: Approximately 120g per glove (size 7), light and manageable
• Available Sizes: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 (measure hand circumference excluding thumb)

Design and Visibility

The high-visibility fluorescent green enhances the goalkeeper's perception by teammates and referees, while the black printed details with the Joma logo give a professional look. The fluorescent color is particularly effective in low-light conditions (evening matches, fog) and facilitates visual communication in the box.

Who are they ideal for?

These gloves are designed for young goalkeepers aged 10 to 16 who play at youth, school, or amateur levels. Ideal for:

• Weekly training sessions for soccer schools and youth academies
• League matches for U10, U12, U14 categories
• Indoor five-a-side football and futsal on hardwood or artificial turf
• Beginner goalkeepers who need extra protection during learning
• Recreational use in friendly matches or summer tournaments

When NOT to choose them

They are not suitable for professional or semi-professional goalkeepers, extreme weather conditions below 0°C, abrasive surfaces that quickly wear down the latex. For high-level competitive play (U18, Serie D and above), consider Uhlsport Absolutgrip or Reusch Attrakt gloves. Standard latex does not offer the same durability as premium models with German latex. Do not use on concrete or asphalt, which can irreparably damage the palm.

Size Guide

Measure your hand circumference excluding your thumb with a tailor's tape: size 4 (14-15cm), size 5 (15-16cm), size 6 (16-17cm), size 7 (17-18cm), size 8 (18-19cm). Gloves should fit snugly but not tight: if in doubt between two sizes, choose the larger one for comfort and growth.

Maintenance and Durability

Cleaning: After each use, rinse the palm with cold water to remove dirt and sweat, pat dry with a soft cloth without rubbing. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct sunlight and radiators (heat dries and hardens latex). Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, avoid creasing that deforms the foam. Durability: 6-12 months with regular use 2-3 times/week (approximately 40-80 hours of play) before the latex loses grip.

Differences vs. Competitors

Compared to Nike Match Goalkeeper, Joma Hunter offers superior 3mm protection (Nike 2mm) but less premium latex. Vs Adidas Predator Training, they have a lower price (€21 vs €30-35) with equivalent protection but slightly less performing grip. Vs Uhlsport Starter Resist, Joma has a more attractive design and fluorescent visibility but similar latex durability. Excellent value for money for young goalkeepers in the learning phase.

Recommended Pairings

Complete your goalkeeper kit with Joma Protec padded goalkeeper pants for hip and side protection, Joma Derby long-sleeved goalkeeper jersey with elbow padding, Joma Classic technical socks with reinforcements, McDavid Hex kneepads for extra protection. For specific training, consider a Joma Dali size 4-5 ball.
