Safety tips
Hockey should be fun. Don't neglect your safety. Always wear your mouthguard, shin guards and a glove. Use hockey shoes with protective reinforcement and soles designed for your playing surface. Wear a mask and specially designed gloves. During matches and training.
Which size?
The table below serves as a good reference:
If the circumference of your hand is between:
- under 17.8 cm -> XS
- 17.8 cm and 20.3 cm -> S
- 20.3 cm and 22.9 cm -> M
- 22.9 cm and 25.4 cm -> L
Protecting your hand
A hockey glove is a piece of personal protection equipment. It should meet current regulations, including the PPE regulation (EU) 2016/425.
Wear a field hockey glove to protect your hand from impacts from the ball or sticks. A field hockey glove has a moulded plastic plate on the back of the hand as well as over one or two fingers, and is generally lined with foam to absorb impacts.
Protecting your hand(cont.)
The protection over the thumb may only be in foam. The open palm lets you get a better feel on the grip while the inner fingers are usually covered with a tacky fabric.
Replace your glove according to the manufacturer's indications or as soon as it begins to show signs of wear.
Refer to the product user guide in case of questions.
Left only
The left hand is the priority for protection because it is the most exposed. You can also get gloves for the right hand.
