Elite Sport Force Pro Goalkeeper Gloves — Built for the Hard Yards

Some goalkeepers play on soft, manicured natural grass. Most do not. The majority of competitive and training football happens on surfaces that test gloves beyond their designed limits: artificial turf with rubber crumb infill, hard winter pitches, summer-baked clay, school facilities with unforgiving concrete surrounds, and indoor arenas with abrasive synthetic surfaces.

Force Pro is the Elite Sport series engineered specifically for goalkeepers who play in those conditions. Its construction philosophy prioritises structural protection and durability without compromising grip — because a goalkeeper who sacrifices protection for softness on a hard pitch, or durability for tack on an abrasive surface, will be replacing their gloves within weeks and managing hand discomfort throughout.

The Technology Behind Force Pro

PS Latex Backhand — Protection System

The most technically distinctive element of Force Pro gloves is the backhand construction. Where other series use BGS (Backhand Grip System) or GS latex, Force Pro uses PS (Protection System) latex — a harder, more structurally rigid backhand compound specifically engineered to absorb and distribute high-impact forces across the back of the hand during ball contact and ground impact.

PS latex is combined with 4mm reinforced backing foam at the Shock Zone — the primary impact area across the upper backhand that receives direct force on powerful shots, crosses, and clearances. The Shock Zone reinforcement concentrates additional structural protection precisely where the backhand absorbs the most stress, reducing the risk of backhand bruising and wear that goalkeepers on demanding surfaces experience.

NRoll Cut — Protection-First Fit

The NRoll cut used in Force Pro gloves is a negative-roll hybrid: combining the snug fit precision of negative cut across the palm with roll finger construction on key finger zones for enhanced latex coverage. The wrapped thumb adds additional protection at the most exposed digit during saves. The result is a fit that maintains close palm-to-ball contact without sacrificing the structural reinforcement that goalkeepers on hard surfaces need across every finger.

In the Camaleon — Force Pro's flagship model — the cut places roll finger construction on the pinky and index fingers (the most laterally exposed) and negative cut on the middle and ring fingers for palm precision. This specific placement protects the fingers that absorb the most oblique force during high-catch scenarios.

5 Removable Finger Spines

All Force Pro gloves include 5 removable finger spines — individual rigid inserts in each finger channel that provide structural support against hyperextension. Unlike non-removable spines (used in entry-level gloves), removable spines give the goalkeeper full control over their protection level: maximum support with all five in place for intensive match and training use, or progressive removal as technique develops and less structural support is needed.

For young goalkeepers transitioning from youth to adult gloves, or for goalkeepers returning from finger injury, removable spines are a critical protection feature. Force Pro's use of 5 (rather than the more common 4) means every finger is individually supported — including the pinky, the finger most commonly injured in goalkeeper contact situations.

360° Latex Wrist Strap

Force Pro gloves use a 360° latex wrist strap with elastic connector and rubber pull tab — providing circumferential wrist support that resists the lateral and rotational stresses of diving saves on hard surfaces. On softer pitches, wrist stability is relatively less critical; on hard ground, a stable wrist closure prevents the micro-adjustments during dives that cause the glove to shift and the latex to wear unevenly.

The Force Pro Flagship: Elite Sport Camaleon

The Elite Sport Camaleon is the headline Force Pro model — designed in the tradition of legendary Mexican goalkeeper Jorge Campos, whose flamboyant style and exceptional reflexes defined an era of goalkeeping. Beyond the distinctive design, the Camaleon delivers the full Force Pro specification: ES-V Game Line latex, NRoll/Hybrid cut, PS Shock Zone backhand, 5 removable spines, and 360° wrist strap.

The Azteca is the companion model — equal protection specification with a different colourway and design identity.

For sizing, use the Size & Fit Guide. Force Pro gloves are designed for a firm, protective fit — sizing accurately is important to ensure the finger spines align correctly with each finger for full protection benefit.

FAQs

PS latex stands for Protection System latex — a compound used on the backhand of Force Pro goalkeeper gloves, engineered specifically for structural protection and impact absorption rather than grip or flexibility. Unlike the BGS (Backhand Grip System) latex used in other Elite Sport series, PS latex is harder and more rigid, designed to resist the deformation and wear caused by repeated high-impact contact on the backhand. It is the defining material difference between Force Pro and the other three series, which prioritise backhand grip and breathability over structural protection.

Removable finger spines are individual rigid inserts — typically made from flexible plastic — that slide into finger channels in goalkeeper gloves to provide structural support against hyperextension during saves. Unlike non-removable spines (fixed into the glove at manufacture), removable spines give the goalkeeper full control over their protection level: all five in place for maximum support, or individual spines removed as technique develops and less structural assistance is needed. Force Pro gloves include 5 removable spines (one per finger, including the pinky), covering every finger individually.

NRoll Cut is a goalkeeper glove construction used in the Elite Sport Force Pro series that combines elements of negative cut and roll finger construction for a protection-optimised fit. Negative cut places the seams on the outside of the fingers for a snug, precise palm-to-hand contact. Roll finger construction wraps the latex around the finger for maximum coverage. NRoll cut applies this combination strategically across the finger layout — typically roll finger on the most laterally exposed fingers (pinky and index) for coverage, negative cut on the central fingers for precision. The result is a fit that balances palm contact with structural protection across the full hand.

The Elite Sport Force Pro is the durability and protection series in the Elite Sport range — engineered for goalkeepers who train and compete on tough surfaces, in physically demanding conditions, or who prioritise structural hand protection. Force Pro gloves feature PS (Protection System) latex on the backhand with reinforced Shock Zone foam for impact distribution, NRoll cut construction for protection-first palm fit, 5 removable finger spines for customisable finger protection, and a 360° latex wrist strap for maximum wrist stability. The flagship Camaleon and Azteca models are the primary Force Pro products.

The Shock Zone is a reinforced structural zone on the backhand of Force Pro goalkeeper gloves — the primary impact area across the upper back of the hand that receives direct force during powerful shots, crosses, and aerial contact. In Force Pro gloves, the Shock Zone uses 4mm of PS (Protection System) latex combined with 4mm of reinforced backing foam. This concentration of protective material specifically at the highest-impact zone of the backhand distributes and absorbs impact energy across a broader surface area, reducing the localised stress on the hand that causes bruising and wear during intensive match and training use.
