Are these the best goalkeeper gloves for me?
No glove is best for every keeper, so here is the honest fit. The Zenith I suits keepers who like a snug glove with a lot of contact latex on the ball and a single-wrap strap. Choose differently if you need finger spines (none are listed), want grip lines inside the fingers (reviewers note there are none) or prefer a latex strap.
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 from size 4 to 12. Between sizes, SET GK says round up. SET GK also says its gloves run tighter, and several reviewers recommend going a size up; one Neon Yellow reviewer found it ran big. Sizes 4 to 6 come in White and Black only.
What cut is the Zenith I, and how does it feel?
SET GK's product page describes an ergonomic positive cut palm and backhand for a snug fit, with a Tipper fingertip design for a more natural feel on tough shots. Reviewers describe the fingers as rolled and the fit as snug. A couple of reviewers felt the seams between the fingers dig in until the hand is fully in.
Do the gloves grip in wet weather?
SET GK does not make a weather claim, so here are verified reviewers in their own words: “Amazing gloves the grip in the rain is super good” (E.H.) and “The grip is very good I played while it was raining and the grip stood all game long.” (Justin Rodriguez). SET GK's own advice is to keep the latex damp while you play.
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. Reviews go both ways: one college keeper says they don't rip after several college games, while another reviewer saw fingertip tearing after 2 uses. Prewashing, keeping the palm damp and washing regularly is the published way to get the most from them.
Do these GK gloves have finger protection?
No finger spines or finger protection are listed for the Zenith I. The gel inject backhand is described as a punching zone with more support on the fingers. If you want finger protection, choose a model that lists it.
Why pay $120 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. Reviewers who paid it said things like “These are the most expensive gloves I Bought and they are worth the buy.” (Charles Raiford). World Cup 2026 is $130.
How do I wash GK gloves?
Remove the palm plastic and prewash with water before first use. Wash regularly: the product page says once a week, 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.
Is there a difference between the colorways?
SET GK lists the same Zenith I build for all four. White and Black come in sizes 4 to 12; Neon Yellow and World Cup 2026 in sizes 7 to 12. World Cup 2026 is $130, the others $120.
Can I pay over time?
