‘Pro Flex’
Reusch’s ‘Pro Flex’ is about the backhand of the goalkeeper glove.

The point of Pro Flex is to make the goalkeeper gloves more naturally flexible. Reusch combine layers in the material of the backhand in a specially designed way to allow the gloves to flex particularly well.

This is one of those great details that Reusch incorporate into their top level pro gloves, increasing the comfort of wearing the gloves.

It also contributes to your performance by giving a more natural and instinctive feel of the gloves on the hands.

‘Ortho Tec’
Reusch ‘Ortho Tec’ is Reusch’s name for their unique version of goalkeeper glove finger and hand protection.

Finger and hand protection is now one of the most important keeper glove technologies around, and Reusch’s Ortho Tec is considered by many keepers to be one of the best.

The Reusch finger protection system uses special hard spines in the back of every finger in the gloves, which flex forwards to allow the fingers to bend naturally, but won’t flex backwards. This stops the football bending your fingers back too far – giving you that extra support when the natural strength of your fingers fails you.

The finger spines are like a knee joint: it flexes one way, but when your leg is straight it won’t bend back any more.

Remember that with Reusch gloves featuring Ortho Tec protection, the spines can normally be taken out of the gloves, so anybody who doesn’t want the extra hand protection can just remove the spines and play as normal.

The other really good thing about the Ortho Tec protection is that the spines can be taken out all together, or one by one. So if you feel you need a bit more flexibility in your little finger, for example – just take out the spine.

‘Wrist Bandage’
The most common Reusch wrist strap. The Reusch wrist bandage is pretty cool and features:

• A cut out section leaving room for printing of your name on the strap
• Nice big wide wrist strap, giving you a feeling of strength and solidity in your gloves
• Plastic tab at the end of the wrist strap that helps to take the gloves off more easily. The plastic tab makes it a lot easier to grab hold of the strap to take it off when you’ve got a glove on each hand – very helpful!
• Velcro fastening – standard for pretty much all goalkeeper gloves

‘RG Resist Grip’
The Reusch RG Resist Grip foam is a junior goalkeeper or lower level palm designed to last longer and for playing on hard grounds.

The RG foam is a quite popular foam for junior goalkeepers. Junior keepers tend to play in their gloves every day, in the street outside and on all kinds of surfaces. Tough latex foam like the Reusch RG foam are ideal for helping goalkeeper gloves to endure in conditions like this!
