With our resident goalkeeper coach always on the look out for great new products he talks us through one of his favourite new start up goalkeeping brands, GK Union.

The birth of GK Union.

The GK Union brand started up in early 2010 with the idea of letting goalkeepers of all levels wear pro quality gloves at an affordable price, with the prices going up and up for match gloves GK Union set out to produce a pro standard glove coming in under the £30 mark.

With this aim in mind GK Union have released two differing styles of glove since there birth, named the Union Pro Flat Palm and the Union Pro Roll Finger, both these gloves are designed with a 3.5ml mega grip latex to ensure great feel and grip when in contact with the ball, the GK Union gloves also feature flex points above the knuckles and around the thumb joint for great comfort when wearing your Union Pro Roll Finger or Union Pro Flat Palm gloves. The gloves also come in junior sizes and are priced at £21.95 with the adults at £29.95.

When it comes to choosing your goalkeeper gloves the most important things is comfort and size, GK Union come up trumps in both these brackets, a great fitting glove that once on your hands is very comfortable and with the mega grip latex palm you also get fantastic grip on the ball.

Looking to the future.

Moving forward GK Union are set to release a new glove in time for Christmas, named the Union CGS PRO, the glove features a Roll Finger Design with a 4ml Supersoft Palm, this glove will be released as a limited edition glove.
