KIPSTASupplier of gloves for professional goalkeepers and coaches in Ligue 1, Ligue 2 and the Premier League.
Kipsta has been working for many years with French Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 goalkeepers to develop and validate its products. For the 2021/2022 season, Jean Louis LECA (RC LENS),Jeremy VACHOUX( US DUNKERQUE),François Joseph SOLOCARRO (AC AJACCIO)and Mehdi JEANNIN (FC SOCHAUX ) are wearing F900 gloves on the pitch. Thierry MALASPINA(RC LENS) and Christophe LOLLICHON (CHELSEA FC) are also Kipsta partners.
Designed in France and developed in Europe
The new 900 glove range was co-developed with our technical partners, but also with over 150 goalkeepers who helped us define needs and validate technical solutions.
Technical development was a collaborative effort between our Lille-based design center and our European-based production plant.
These new gloves are the culmination of over a year's development.
Validated and tested in use
At each stage of development, the gloves were tested in order to validate the solution.
Then, more than 20 ambassadors validated the technical responses to usage needs in long-term tests.
These tests were certified by our certification unit, which is made up of field test engineers, qualified and recognized for:
The implementation of specific protocols and tests linked to product usage.
These tests cover aspects such as grip, resistance, fit.
Designed to meet expectations
The glove design was the subject of many hours of listening, discussion and testing, in order to create the glove expected by expert goalkeepers. We decided to make a specific cut by looking at the areas of ball impact on the glove, so as to apply latex only where necessary (in order to limit the cost of the glove). We also turned our attention to the top of the hand, working on a pattern that would enable the glove to be flattened over the top of the hand.
enhanced grip
Our new 900 glove range features 3.5mm GIGAGRIP latex combined with 3 mm foam for optimum ball grip. We chose this latex because it's the best compromise between grip and resistance for expert gloves.
perfect morphological adaptability
Specific stitching for maximum contact with the ball. This cut, combined with ultra-slim fittings and a mesh component, guarantees greater safety when catching the ball.
optimum comfort
the "X STRAP" concept guarantees perfect placement of the glove during use, making it easy to forget the glove when catching a ball.
reinforced top-of-hand zone
We've added a second layer of latex in the point release area for greater safety and comfort.
an optimal support system
The new retention system ensures a perfect fit in a single movement. What's more, it won't budge during dives, thanks to silicone in the contact zones.
