Glove anatomy
What goes into these gloves: latex, backhand, closure
SET GK built the JMAC Falcon v2 to the exact specifications of 2x MLS Cup winner John McCarthy. Here are the three parts that define it, in SET GK's words.
02 Breathaprene backhand
The backhand: breathaprene, with a gel punch zone
SET GK lists a lightweight high-grade breathaprene backhand for comfort and breathability, with an inject gel design that gives a wide punch zone across all fingers. This is one of the two changes from the original JMAC Falcon, which lists a knitted backhand.
03 Double-wrap strap
The closure: two elastic wraps
A double-wrap elastic wrist strap, which SET GK says gives full wrist lock down. The original JMAC Falcon uses a single wrap.

|---|---|---|
| 5.6 to 5.9 in | 14.2 to 15.0 cm | 4 |
| 6.0 to 6.4 in | 15.2 to 16.3 cm | 5 |
| 6.5 to 6.9 in | 16.5 to 17.5 cm | 6 |
| 7.0 to 7.4 in | 17.8 to 18.8 cm | 7 |

Care
Make the latex last: prewash, damp, dry slow
RESTORE glove wash $12 · SET GK's own latex wash →
- 01
Prewash before first use
Remove the plastic from the palm and prewash with water. SET GK says prewashing removes production chemicals and adds the moisture the latex needs.
- 02
Keep the latex damp
Gloves rip from friction, and a dry ball on dry latex has a greater chance of ripping.
- 03
Wash regularly
The product page says once a week; SET GK's FAQ says twice every six uses. Sink, shower or washing machine.
- 04
Dry slow, store out of the sun
Squeeze out the water, then hang dry or fold into a towel at room temperature. Never the dryer, never long sun.
How is the v2 different from the original JMAC Falcon?
SET GK lists two changes. The original JMAC Falcon has a lightweight high-grade knitted backhand and a single-wrap elastic wrist strap; the v2 has a lightweight high-grade breathaprene backhand and a double-wrap elastic wrist strap. Everything else SET GK lists is the same on both: the ergonomic positive cut palm, highest grade 4mm contact latex, tipped fingers, the inject gel punch zone across all fingers, and the design to John McCarthy's specifications. Both are $135 in sizes 4 to 12. SET GK does not publish a direct comparison of how the two feel, so we do not claim one.
Are these the best goalkeeper gloves for me?
No glove is best for every keeper, so here is the honest fit. The JMAC Falcon v2 suits keepers who want 4mm contact latex, a snug positive-cut palm, a breathaprene backhand with a wide punch zone, and a double-wrap elastic strap. Choose differently if you need finger spines (none are listed) or prefer a knitted backhand and single-wrap strap, which is the original JMAC Falcon.
Who is John McCarthy?
SET GK says the JMAC Falcon v2 is designed to the exact specifications of 2x MLS Cup winner John McCarthy. That is what SET GK lists about him for this glove.
What size goalie gloves should I get?
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. The JMAC Falcon v2 comes in sizes 4 to 12. Between sizes, SET GK says round up.
What cut is the JMAC Falcon v2, and how does it feel?
SET GK describes an ergonomic positive cut palm for a snug fit, with a tipped finger design for a more natural feel on tough shots. The v2 is new, so there is little review history on feel yet.
Do these GK gloves have finger protection?
No finger spines or finger protection are listed for the JMAC Falcon v2. The inject gel backhand is described as a wide punch zone across all fingers. If you want finger protection, choose a model that lists it.
How long does the latex last?
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. SET GK publishes no durability figures for the v2. Prewashing, keeping the palm damp and washing regularly is the published way to get the most from them.
Why pay $135 for SET GK instead of a big brand?
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.
How do I wash GK gloves?
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.
Can I return or exchange gloves I have worn?
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.
How fast is shipping?
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.
