With the assistance of the ACA Sports goalkeeping coach, Malcolm, we come up with a list of the Top 5 Goalkeeper Gloves available this August. We’ve chosen gloves of different styles, and all offer a load of modern technology and design, so hopefully we’ve catered for the taste of most goalkeeper. If we haven’t, tough!

1. Selsport Wrappa XTR – ACA Price £54.95

The Selsport Wrappa XTR is a great new glove for 2010, which oozes quality the minute you put it on. Designed with the 4mm ULTRA Adhesion+ latex palm, this is an all weather glove designed to continue performance in all conditions.

Other key features of these goalkeeper gloves include the 3-point Selsport wrist lock and a roll finger cut for maximum latex coverage. Although it is one of the dearer gloves on the list, we think it’s great value for money regardless!

2. Uhlsport Ergonomic Absolutgrip – ACA £44.95

A nice flat palm goalkeeper glove, the Uhlsport Ergonomic Absolutgrip is pre-curved and benefits from the long lasting, high grip Absolutgrip latex palm. As well as this, you get the Ergonomic cut, which offers reliable flexibility and ensures the gloves offer added freedom of movement.

Easily one of the best Flat Palm gloves available, it reaches our Top 5 as the price is a bargain at under £50!

3. Nike Gunn Cut 2010 – ACA £44.95

Continuing on from previous years, the Nike Gunn Cut 2010 shows further improvement this year, and is now one of the better Roll Finger gloves available. The Nike Gunn Cut features a belt lock wrist bandage, and Pre-Curved fingers, making the hands “catch-ready”.

A great addition to your bag, the Nike Gunn Cut is the glove of choice for Nike sponsored goalkeepers.

4. Reusch Magno D1 – ACA £34.95

OK, so in black/red the Reusch Magno D1 might not be to everyone’s taste, but it’s the choice of this years fantastic Reusch range, and is the cheapest in our list. Another Flat Palm goalkeeper glove, the Magno D1 features Durasoft latex, which is superb in all conditions and offers a fantastic feel on the ball.

A bit of a no-frills goalkeeper glove, but this isn’t a bad thing as performance is premium!

5. Puma Powercat 1.10 Protect – ACA £54.95

At this price, you get a lot of glove for your money! The Puma Powercat 1.10 Protect features finger protection throughout, yes, including the thumb. The spines used can be removed or moved so the glove is customisable for each goalkeeper.

A Twin Wrap thumb and Control Wrap technology ensure maximum latex to ball contact, essential in gaining maximum grip, and reducing uncomfortable seams.

A fantastic goalkeeper glove to round off our Top 5!

Goalkeeper Gloves that nearly made the list.

Choosing just 5 gloves wasn’t easy, with a few models just missing out on a Top 5 place. Among them were the Adidas Response Pro, Precision Supersoft Roll and Kaliaeer XGM Pro ACA Edition, all of which offer good value for money and performance.
