Some game days aren’t decided by the opponent, but by the rain. The 4mm Aqua Claw is designed exactly for these days: a grip foam that stays tacky even when wet, where other grip foams have long since lost their grip—no matter the season, the only thing that matters is whether it’s wet or dry. The new Aqua Gloves collection features it in the Hero and Champ lines, in a clean white design with blue accents on the back of the hand.
It’s no coincidence that even pros rely on this exact grip foam in the rain, because when the ball is wet, only one thing matters: that you still have a grip.
Why two models instead of one? Because rain affects every goalkeeper, regardless of cut or price point. The Aqua Gloves collection features the same 4mm Aqua Claw on two models: the Hero Elite Power for maximum ball contact in a hybrid cut, and the Champ Elite NC for a snug, precise fit in a negative cut. Both come in the same white design with blue accents.
The best choice for wet playing conditions. That’s exactly what the KEEPERsport Aqua Collection is built for.
The premium model for wet conditions.

The 4mm Aqua Claw is the best grip foam in our lineup and can be used year-round, in both sun and rain. But it really shows its true strength when things get wet: spring showers, a soggy field in the fall, or a single rainy game day in the middle of summer—that’s when it delivers the grip that other adhesive foams have long since lost.
That’s why the Aqua Gloves collection belongs in every goalkeeper’s bag: usable year-round, but at its best precisely when it gets wet.
Rain is just an excuse for everyone else.
A good grip on your hands is half the battle. The KEEPERsport GK Top RainSkin is the perfect addition to your complete rain gear setup: lightweight, water-repellent without soaking up water, and featuring stretch panels under the armpits that won’t tear during intense training. Available in long-sleeve or short-sleeve styles, for goalies who want to stay agile even in pouring rain.
And if your latex still needs an extra bit of grip despite Aqua Claw: KEEPERsport Aqua Glue is the grip booster for that final touch—with absolutely no drying time. Apply a pea-sized amount to the palm of your hand right before kickoff or during halftime, and even soaked-through latex will grip the ball noticeably better.
The same adhesive foam is also used in other models in our lineup—with different cuts and constructions, but the same reliable grip.
Are Aqua gloves only suitable for rainy days?
No. The Aqua Claw Latex can be used year-round on any damp surface, whether in January or July. It’s not the season that matters, but rather wet conditions.
What is the difference between Hero Elite Power AQUA and Champ Elite NC AQUA?
Both feature the same 4mm Aqua Claw latex. The Hero Elite Power has a hybrid cut and no tongue, designed for maximum ball contact. The Champ Elite NC has a tighter fit with a negative cut, designed for maximum ball control and a snug, precise fit.
Do the Aqua gloves require any special care?
No, the usual glove care instructions apply here as well: Wash them after each use and let them air dry—not on a radiator or in the sun.
When should I use Aqua Glue instead of just wearing the Aqua gloves on their own?
If the latex isn't enough that day despite Aqua Claw—for example, during continuous rain or if the gloves have been in use for a while—Aqua Glue provides an extra boost of grip right before kickoff, with no drying time required.
