You Can Buy Heated Goalkeeper Gloves To Keep You Warm This Winter

If you're a seasoned veteran of the Sunday League scene, then you'll appreciate that football in the winter months can genuinely ruin lives.

-1 degree temperatures and rock hard Mitre footballs are a potential death trap in freezing conditions, especially for those between the sticks.

Fear not though, because these Magma heated goalkeepr gloves by Seismic are an absolute godsend for those who suffer from finger frostbite on a cold morning.

According to their official website, the gloves were initially planned to help keepers who train in extreme cold, but it became obvious in testing that the glove can be used on a wider scale.

It looks like years of planning has gone into making a heated glove that wouldn't add excessive weight, while getting a temperature setting just right to keep the hands comfortable, and not overly hot.

Seismic say they have have developed a system that will work to keep your focus on the game and we believe them. These are genius.

Materials play a big roll in the glove. Two layers of a water resistant, breathable membrane prevent cold winds from getting into the glove.

They also act as insulation by keeping heat inside the glove.

So how do you wash these things? To wash the gloves, just remove the batteries, place the cap over the port to seal and then hand wash in water as normal. Simple.

On the topic of Sunday League football and freezing cold temperatures, these boots could help you in the winter months, especially for those sensitive toes out there,

For years the toe poke left players with chipped nails and bruised bones but worry no more. Italian fashion designer John Serafino has created a pair of boots worthy of any Sunday League arena.

Get ready for your mind to be blown, people.

The Serafino 4th Edge football boot integrates a flat nose to give the user a perfect surface to wind up the perfect toe punt smash.

According to the Serafino website, the revolutionary rubberised concave toe enables players to perform with greater power, accuracy, safety and comfort while at the same time needing only minimal back lift when using the toe.

They go on to state that he boot is equipped with triple padding, and Ankle & Achilles heel supports.

Mind-blowing.
