Why choose Reusch?

Reusch is first about German latex, counted among the grippiest on the market, developed and tested for nearly a century. It's also about innovation: the brand has introduced several technologies that became references, and equips many professional keepers at the highest level. This mix — heritage, R&D and on-field validation — puts Reusch among the best goalkeeper gloves available in Canada.

Reusch technologies

Much of the Reusch vocabulary describes its technologies. Here are the key ones:

  • Freegel: the finger-protection system (soft, flexible fingersave) that limits backward hyperextension without stiffening the hand.
  • RE:GRIP: a palm technology designed to preserve grip longer, even as the latex starts to wear.
  • SpeedBump: small built-in bars that dampen the ball's impact and protect the fingers while keeping flexibility.
  • GluePrint: a construction that fuses the palm and backhand without visible seams, for a more precise fit and better longevity.

Reusch latex: Fusion, Gold X, Infinity, Silver

Reusch grades its palms by latex level, from the most performant to the most durable. It's the number one criterion for choosing:

  • Fusion: the top of the range, maximum grip for competition — the softest, grippiest latex.
  • Gold X: a premium grip-focused latex, very popular with demanding keepers who want performance without the Fusion price.
  • Infinity: an excellent balance of grip and durability, to play often without wearing a palm out too fast.
  • Silver: a tougher, more affordable latex, ideal for training and regular play.

Simple rule: the softer the latex (Fusion, Gold X), the better the grip but the faster it wears. On natural grass, a soft latex lasts reasonably; on abrasive artificial turf, favour a tougher latex (Silver, Infinity) for training and keep the soft one for matches.

The Attrakt and Pure Contact lines

Reusch's main line is Attrakt, ranging from entry-level to match glove. From most accessible to most performant:

  • Attrakt Solid: the durable entry level, perfect to start.
  • Attrakt Advance / Grip: the versatile mid-range, a good performance-price balance for regular use.
  • Attrakt Freegel: adds Freegel finger protection.
  • Attrakt Gold X, Infinity, Duo and Fusion: the high end, depending on the latex and cut you want.

Reusch also offers the Pure Contact line (same Fusion, Gold X and Silver latex levels) and junior Reusch goalkeeper gloves like the Attrakt Solid Junior. The Goaliator range rounds out the accessible side.

Which Reusch glove for your level?

  • Beginner / young keeper: Attrakt Solid — durable, forgiving, often with Freegel fingersave to protect the fingers.
  • Intermediate: Attrakt Advance or Infinity — better latex and good durability to play every week.
  • Competition: Gold X — premium grip for the keeper who wants to perform.
  • Professional / elite: Fusion — the brand's maximum grip, often with a second training pair.

Which Reusch cut should you choose?

The cut changes how the palm meets the ball. Reusch offers its models in the main cuts:

  • Negative: seams stitched inward, latex close to the hand, maximum touch.
  • Roll Finger: the latex wraps around the finger, increasing the contact surface.
  • Hybrid / Evolution: a blend of the two for versatility — Reusch's Evolution cut is a good example.
  • Flat: the classic, most forgiving cut, ideal to start.

Reusch or another brand?

No need to knock the competition — it's mostly about style and budget:

  • Want high-end German latex and heritage: Reusch (Gold X, Fusion).
  • Want premium grip at a more accessible price: take a look at RG Goalkeeper (Aspro, Samurai).
  • Prefer German keeper expertise and Absolugrip: Uhlsport.

How to care for your Reusch gloves?

  • Rinse the palm in lukewarm water after each match or training.
  • Air-dry, never in direct sun or on a radiator.
  • Keep the latex slightly damp before playing to maximize grip.
  • Alternate two pairs if you play often, to spare the match palm.

Our expert advice

At Soccer Sport Fitness, we've been advising keepers of every level for years. For players who train several times a week, we often recommend a durable pair (Infinity or Silver) for training and a Gold X or Fusion pair reserved for matches, to keep optimal grip longer. The Attrakt Advance models, for their part, offer an excellent performance-durability balance for regular use, and for a young beginner we start with an Attrakt Solid with Freegel.

What is the best Reusch latex?

It depends on your priority. Fusion offers maximum grip (competition), Gold X a very popular premium grip, Infinity a good grip-durability balance, and Silver the best toughness for training. The softer the latex, the better the grip but the faster it wears.

What's the difference between Reusch Gold X and Fusion?

Fusion is the top of the range, with the softest latex and maximum grip, built for competition. Gold X targets a very close premium grip at a more accessible price and often slightly better durability.

What is Reusch's Freegel technology?

Freegel is Reusch's finger-protection system: a soft fingersave that limits backward hyperextension of the fingers on a powerful save, without stiffening the hand like a classic fingersave.

How do I choose my Reusch glove size?

Size is based on hand width, not shoe size. Measure your palm and add about one centimetre at the fingertips. Gloves run from size 4 (child) to 11 (adult).

Which Reusch cut should I choose?

Negative keeps the latex close to the hand for maximum touch, roll finger increases the contact surface, hybrid (Evolution) combines both, and flat is the most forgiving to start or for a wide hand.

Are Reusch gloves good on artificial turf?

Yes, their latex grips very well on turf. Since turf is abrasive, it wears the latex faster: use a tougher latex (Silver, Infinity) for training and keep a soft latex (Gold X, Fusion) for matches.
