Title: Predicament
Post by: Abighugeappl on June 30, 2015, 09:11:14 PM
Having kept for a couple of years in the academy, I'm now being roped into keeping for the 3rd team (Despite there being 4 keepers spread over the 1's and 2's), albeit part time keeping.
Now I don't mind, however I'm having to borrow keeping kit, and the gloves especially are too big for me.
I'm ideally looking for a pair of gloves and matching pads, and not of too extreme a cost.
The gloves especially are of problem, as the ones I've been using are men's sized I believe, so would be looking for men's gloves that are smaller than usual, or a youths size that are a little larger, as once I'm wearing inners, I'm slightly worried that youths may be too small? There's also not any good store nearby that stocks a wide range that I can try on either.

Any recommendations or help that anyone can provide would be very welcome!

I wear Slazenger Ultimate youths gloves with P2 inners and get a nice snug fit. You really need to get to a store to try a few pairs on. Alternately, take a chance on eBay.
