No glove is best for every keeper, so here is the honest fit. The Venoms suit keepers who like a snug hybrid cut, want silicone grip inside the glove and prefer a single-wrap latex strap. Choose differently if you need finger spines (none are listed), have short thumbs (two reviewers found the thumb roomy) or want a slim backhand.

Measure from the tip of your middle finger to the base of your palm and match it to SET GK's chart: 7.5 to 7.9 in is a size 8, 8.0 to 8.4 in is a 9, and so on. Between sizes, SET GK says round up. Several reviewers say the Venoms run small or snug, including one who wrote “These fit perfectly, so definitely recommend sizing up if you're between sizes.” (Andrew Fendel). Others say “the fit is true to its size.” (Kristopher Gutierrez). All Whites come in sizes 4 to 12, Vice Day 7 to 12, Vice Night and World Cup 2022 7 to 11.

SET GK calls it the Venom Pro Cut: a hybrid cut index and pinky finger with Matrix silicone gel inside, for a snug fit that allows minimal finger movement but enough space to feel comfortable. Reviewers describe negative middle fingers with rolled outside fingers: “I love the negative cut middle and ring fingers, combined with the rolled thumb, index, and pinky finger.” (Jack Bacon). A couple of reviewers found extra room in the thumb.

SET GK does not make a weather claim, so here are verified reviewers in their own words: “I’ve also used them in very wet conditions and the latex was still as good as if they were slightly wet” (Peter Hoar) and “Great grip and feel, great for wet conditions.” (Luis E Boschetti). SET GK's own advice is to keep the latex damp while you play.

It depends on how you play and care for them. SET GK says all gloves will wear and rip eventually, and that a dry ball on dry latex rips more. Reviews go both ways: one keeper says they lasted over a year, another says “very durable after many uses if kept correctly” (Reid Monken), while one parent saw the palm fall apart on the first day of practice and one reviewer had the wrist elastic rip after two wears. Prewashing, keeping the palm damp and washing regularly is the published way to get the most from them.

No finger spines or finger protection are listed for the Venoms. SET GK says the neoprene and embossed latex backhand is supportive during powerful shots, and reviewers mention padding, but that is not finger protection. If you want it, choose a model that lists it.

Remove the palm plastic and prewash with water before first use. Wash regularly: SET GK's FAQ says twice every six uses, by hand in the sink or shower or in the washing machine. Squeeze out the water, hang or towel dry at room temperature, never in the dryer or long sun. RESTORE is SET GK's own glove wash, sold separately.

No. SET GK accepts US returns and exchanges within 30 days on unworn, undamaged gloves; refunds have $7.50 return shipping deducted, exchanges may carry a shipping fee, clearance is final sale, and international orders cannot be returned. So try them on indoors before you prewash. If a pair arrives defective, damaged or wrong, contact SET GK straight away at support@setgk.com.

US orders of $90 or more ship free, so a single pair qualifies. SET GK says international orders may take 10 to 20 business days. Lost packages are handled through Route.

SET GK lists the same Venoms build for all four. All Whites come in sizes 4 to 12, Vice Day 7 to 12, Vice Night and World Cup 2022 7 to 11. World Cup 2022 is $120, the others $100. One reviewer picked Vice Day over Vice Night for the palm color: “I didn’t like that the Night had a white palm.” (ryan kalup).

We do not have a sourced price comparison, so we will not invent one. SET GK's FAQ says it set out to make a glove that matches what keepers expect from the average glove brand at an affordable price. Reviewers who paid it said things like “Great gloves very high quality and comfortable and for a nice price as well.” (Andrew Arechiga). World Cup 2022 is $120.
