Goalkeeper Glove Wrist Closures

There are many different types of closures on keeper gloves, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

Velcro Hook-and-loop wrist closures are quick and convenient. However, they do not hold the glove in place as reliably. Also, they introduce a plastic piece behind the glove wrist which may be uncomfortable.

V-notch wrist closures are the least complex, most convenient in terms of applying an removing the goalkeeper glove, and least effective.

Bandage wrist closures wrap snugly around the wrist, and most high-level goalkeeper gloves use this type of closure. The disadvantage is that these gloves may be rather slow and difficult to apply and remove.
