Rain changes everything for a goalkeeper. The ball becomes slippery, your confidence in your own hands wanes, and a single mistake is enough to concede a goal. With wet latex, this is a problem you can’t train your way out of. KEEPERsport Aqua Glue solves it right on the glove.
Latex needs friction to provide grip. As soon as water gets between the ball and the latex, this friction drops dramatically and the ball slips through your hands. This happens with any glove, no matter how high-quality the latex is. KEEPERsport Aqua Glue turns this principle on its head: instead of moisture destroying the grip, it activates it. The formula remains sticky when wet, rather than becoming instantly slippery on contact with water, as untreated latex does.
✅ Lightly dampen your goalkeeper’s glove.
✅ Apply a pea-sized amount of KEEPERsport Aqua Glue to the glove.
✅ Spread the product from the palm to the fingertips.
Tip: Less is more. Test the amount beforehand in training. Too much Aqua Glue can actually reduce the desired effect.
Some gloves take it a step further. Models made with Aqua Claw Latex, such as the KEEPERsport Hero Elite Power or the Champ Elite NC Aqua, are specifically designed for wet conditions. Their latex is inherently optimized for wet conditions and only develops its best grip when it’s damp.
KEEPERsport Aqua Glue and Aqua Latex gloves work in the same way. If you want to play it safe in the rain, combine both: a glove built for wet conditions with a grip booster that kicks in exactly where moisture usually becomes a problem.
KEEPERsport Aqua Glue ist eines von mehreren Produkten, die zusammen das komplette Pflege-System für deine Handschuhe bilden. Jedes Produkt deckt eine andere Aufgabe ab.
Glove Cleaner reinigt deine Handschuhe nach jedem Einsatz und reaktiviert den Grip, den Schweiß, Schmutz und Abrieb dem Latex entziehen. Reinige deine Handschuhe nach jedem Gebrauch, das ist die Basis für lange Lebensdauer und gleichbleibenden Grip, egal welches weitere Pflegeprodukt du einsetzt.
Grip Glue ist das Gegenstück zu Aqua Glue: für trockene Bedingungen und harten Kunstrasenboden, wenn der Ball hart und wenig griffig wird. Während Aqua Glue bei Nässe arbeitet, sorgt Grip Glue bei Trockenheit für maximale Haftung.
Glove Dry Buddy sorgt dafür, dass deine Handschuhe nach der Reinigung richtig trocknen, in der korrekten Position und ohne dass sich Feuchtigkeit in den Fingern staut.
GK Towel ist dein Begleiter am Spielfeldrand: Hände trocknen, Handschuhe kurz abwischen, vor dem nächsten Abstoß wieder einsatzbereit sein.
Zusammen decken diese Produkte jede Wetterlage und jede Phase rund ums Spiel ab. Reinigung als Basis, Aqua Glue für den Regentag, Grip Glue für den trockenen Kunstrasen, Dry Buddy und GK Towel für die Pflege drumherum.
Not a substitute for Vaseline, but goalkeeping technology
Some goalkeepers, out of habit, resort to household remedies such as Vaseline when it rains. The problem is that Vaseline is designed for skin, not for latex. It forms a greasy film on the surface, clogs the pores of the latex and blocks the very property that provides good grip. In the long term, the latex underneath dries out more quickly and loses its durability.
KEEPERsport Aqua Glue is not a makeshift household solution, but a formula specially developed for goalkeeper glove latex. It penetrates the latex rather than simply sitting on top of it, is water-repellent rather than greasy, and does not damage the latex structure.
KEEPERsport Aqua Glue is no substitute for regular glove care. Clean your gloves after every use – this is essential to ensure that latex and grip products can work properly. Then leave the gloves to air-dry, but not with the fingers pointing downwards, otherwise moisture and dirt will collect there. The Glove Dry Buddy keeps the gloves in the correct position whilst they are drying.

Can I use KEEPERsport Aqua Glue even in dry weather?
No. Aqua Glue is designed for wet conditions and wears out much faster in dry conditions. For dry conditions, Grip Glue is the right choice.
Is KEEPERsport Aqua Glue the same as Vaseline?
No. Vaseline is a skin care product and is not designed for use with latex. Aqua Glue is specifically designed for the latex used in goalkeeper gloves and does not damage the material's structure.
How often should I apply KEEPERsport Aqua Glue?
Apply a small amount before each use in rain or damp conditions.
Does KEEPERsport Aqua Glue dry out the gloves?
No, on the contrary. The formula is water-repellent and enhances grip rather than putting a strain on the latex.
