I especially like Reusch Duo Orthotecs.  If you're going to be playing at highschool level or above, I would definitely recommend any kind with reinforced spines on the fingers.  Don't buy anything that looks or feels cheap, because you get what you pay for and they won't protect your hands.  The higher the level of play and commitment to soccer, the more I would spend.  I would suggest paying at LEAST $30-$40, more if you wish.  Make sure get the right size.  If this is the first time you're buying gloves, try to find a soccer shop so you can try them on.  The tips of the gloves can be up to one inch past the tips of your fingers (you might not want to get them THAT big).  The space at the tips can help prevent jams.  Like many of the other respondants to this question, definitely go to www.soccer.com, browse through and request a catalog.  They have a catalog called Keepersport that only has 'keeper gear.

I've tried plenty and any workout glove made by Grizzly Fitness are top of the line.  If your lifting heavier weights, I'd suggest getting a pair with padded grips.\n\nMatt

Mittens are the warmest, but hardly the right gloves for working hands.  You should log on to outdoor apparel websites where gloves are weather/temperature rated.  The best gloves would probably be the ones that crosscountry skiers would use, since we need flexibility in gripping the poles.  Downhill gloves are probably thicker.  With modern fabrics, gloves don't have to be heavy to be effective.  Also, buy the ferrous chip packets.  You shake it to activate the heat and stick it into your gloves or boots.  They last for an hour or more.\n\nwww.REI.com\nwww.LLBean.com\nwww.Campmor.com

Believe it or not (I work in a baseball pro shop), a glove that you are most comfortable with. Outfielder's usually have longer gloves than infielders do. A good outfield glove for someone your size should be around 12 to 13 inches.

A lot of times the same socks that soccer and baseball players use work just fine. So just go to your local sporting goods store. Or you could try a local Finish Line or Foot Locker, see if they have 'em.

Hey cherrycola,\n\n     Here are my tips:\n\n     1) Know the rules, and the basics: Goalies can use their hands inside their box, with the exception of a) when his teammate passes the ball to him with his foot, and b) when he is outside the box.\n\n     2) Be aggressive. The best goalies are hands on and take charge goalies. They are the boss of the Box, and take seriously the fact THEY are the last man standing when a goal opportunity presents itself.\n\n     3) Be willing to endure pain. As a goalie, you will have to dive to block incoming shots and land roughly, jump to punch balls away or grabbing them, bumping into players occasionally, especially opposing ones. Finally, you will get roughed up when you charge an advancing forward, all by him self -- the one-on-one situation.\n\n     4) Polish up your reflexes, but more important, your positioning under the 3 goal posts. Watch videos of the great goalies and watch their footwork and positioning during key offensive situations. Watch how they dive (a dying art in my opinion. Goalies today have lost that flare and acrobatics that made goalie an attractive position in the first place. \n\n     5) Know your own personal weaknesses and strengths. Are you too short? Too Tall? Great on on-on-one but weak in the air? Bossy? Too dependent? Find out, compensate, and build on it.\n\nWell, Cherrycola, I hope this helps. Take care

Don't skimp when buying gloves. Try hitting someone on the forehead with cheap boxing gloves on. You will pay for it later with arthritis and other nagging injuries to your hands. Peace

You can buy Adidas Fingersave gloves... These kinds of gloves have a plastick filliment in every single finger to strengthen you hand when saving... I bought my brother some for his birthday and he thinks they are awesome... They are however quite expensive... Your looking at around 60 quid! Have a look on ebay and you can get some new ones for around 40! They are worth the pennys...

Easton makes a good comp. stick.  The Nike/Bauer VAPOR series is favored by many as well.  A lot of it depends on your size and shooting style.  Consult your Shooting Coach.

you can't wash hockey gloves.  But there are some arenas that offer equipment cleaning.  Usually $50.00 for the entire set and your bag.  If you want gloves that don't stiffen or STINK to high heavens after even prolonged wear, get a pair with goat skin palm ( the goat skin is antibacterial) Eagle makes a great glove that is available with goatskin.  Washing your gloves will ruin them.  Your gear SHOULD be taken to an equipment cleaning pro once a season to get rid of all that disgustin bacteria.

I agree your best bet as an "up and coming" glove manufacturer would be sell on eBay.com. Then from there build a client base and do networking with purchasers of your product. Word of Mouth is an excellent and cheap advertisement. That is as long as your gloves are of fine quality. Good Luck.
