WARNING: KEEPER BALM® will change your game!
Are you conditioning your goalkeeper gloves? If you’re not using KEEPER BALM®, then you’re literally wasting money, purchasing gloves much more often than necessary, and NEVER getting the performance out of your gloves that they’re capable of.
- Applied to new goalie gloves, KEEPER BALM makes your gloves GRIP BETTER, LONGER, and keeps them performing better than new for years – GUARANTEED!
- Repels dirt, to keep your gloves looking great and performing BETTER THAN NEW.
- Applied to clean, dry goalkeeper gloves, KEEPER BALM restores tackiness to older goalkeeper gloves, as well.
- Once applied, it’s 100% effective in dry and wet conditions.
KEEPER BALM is HIGHLY RESIDUAL, so you don’t need to apply it for every use. However, if you apply to your gloves when they’re brand spanking new, then you may only need to apply it once every 3 or 4 games.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
For best results, apply to clean, dry goalie gloves, 24 hours before use, to allow it to soak in. (This will make the gloves so grippy that you can play one hand catch with a soccer ball.) You can apply it to wet gloves, too – and it’ll help a lot – but it’s more effective when applied to dry gloves, BEFORE they get wet.
*To get the most out of your KEEPER BALM keeper stick, don't leave it out in extreme heat or extreme cold. A good practice is just to keep it in your GK glove bag with your gloves.

I'm writing a review right before buying a second stick of Keeper Balm - so that should say it all. I used this for almost 2 years and I was thoroughly impressed. The balm performed as described and I was able to extend the life of several pairs of gloves, including 1 that was ready for the bin. If the gloves are well maintained with regular washing and using the balm once a week or even once a fortnight (if applied 2-3 times initially before first use), then the grip doesn't really fade much during training and games. Can't fault the dry grip, on any glove. Wet grip was somewhat mixed, I think this could've been done to the different gloves themselves rather than the balm. Overall in the wet most gloves I had showed a slight improvement in wet grip and offered a slightly more consistent and reliable grip. I definitely noticed the balm helped to repel grass and dirt, which made them easier to clean which meant I washed them more often too, also adding to their life. I am going to buy a second stick, for the money the product was definitely beneficial.

I used it in my new reusch ortho-tec and OMG the balls stick like a super glue on my hand...really great product and really it works you will not regret buying it...5 stars without question
From my experience this keeper balm works. I have not tried it in wet conditions but in dry conditions it is as described. Supersoft later from applying keeper balm days before a day. I just happen to apply it lightly, but daily. The day of the game my gloves were ready to go the whole game. Even with grass and dirt , it didn’t effect how soft keeper balm made my gloves.

DIRT, SWEAT & TEARS... AND SPIT
Saliva
There is a myth that spitting on your gloves is the best way to "activate" the grip in the palm latex. However, the act of spitting on your gloves is actually detrimental to them, as saliva contains sodium (a mineral) that gradually fills the pores and absorbs the natural moisture of the latex, thereby drying out the latex. Saliva also contains enzymes, who's job is to digest food.
For food digestion, spit (saliva) serves as a temporary lubricating agent, to help food slide down your esophagus. For latex goalkeeper gloves though, saliva is just a temporary fix that causes long term damage.
Sweat
Sweat, like saliva, is a great temporary fix for your grip problem, but wiping your brow is even more detrimental to the latex of your goalkeeper gloves, as it contains 50 to 100 times more salt than saliva, thereby ensuring your gloves will deteriorate 50 to 100 times faster than just spitting on them.Dirt
If sweat is bad, what do you think dirt will do? Like salt, dirt is made up of minerals that fill the pores and dry out the latex. Applying Keeper Balm to brand new gloves ensures that the pores are protected, eliminating the detrimental effects of soil in the pores of the latex.Tears
Goalkeeping can be a thankless job. If it's a close game, you'll beat yourself up for the next few weeks, thinking about how if you "could have just saved that one shot", then maybe everything might not have gone "south" for your team. KEEPER BALM® is GUARANTEED to cut down post game tears. Applying Keeper Balm to your gloves when they're brand new, will:- Ensure a better grip on the ball (than without it)
- Make cleaning your gloves easier
- Will make your goalkeeper gloves last longer (NEVER dry out)
- Increase the life of your gloves
- Save you money
- Make your coach happy
- Make your teammates happy

Pleasantly surprised. Expected some residue or that the gloves would be gooey, but its actually pretty clean. It;s like putting on deodorant, but on your gloves. Gloves were really grippy and stayed that way for a couple of weeks. Even when they were pretty dirty, they still held the ball really well.
