Football Gloves

The majority of NFL receivers use Nike Vapor gloves as they have some of the best grip and fit great on your hands.

Football gloves are built to improve a player's ability to catch balls. The thin material of football gloves allows players to have a better feel for the ball while providing maximum stickiness to make difficult catches possible.

NFL football gloves are generally 20 to 30 percent stickier than a human hand which allows for much easier handling of the football and improved catching ability.

Without the forgiveness and stickiness that gloves provide, you'll still be able to catch the football but it will be more difficult and might cause extra sting on your hands.

Football gloves will lose their stickiness over time, with regular use and exposure to dirt.

Football gloves can usually last three to four years with proper care. However, given the rigors of regular play, a new pair every season is typical.
