American Football Gloves

American football gloves are performance-enhancing athletic gloves worn by players to improve grip, control, protection, and ball handling during play. Designed with position-specific features, these gloves are commonly used by receivers, running backs, defensive backs, and linemen, each requiring different levels of flexibility, grip, and impact resistance.

Constructed with advanced materials like silicone or tacky grip polymers, stretch mesh, neoprene, and foam padding, football gloves typically include:

• Sticky or tackified palm surfaces (especially in receiver gloves) for superior grip in catching and holding the ball, even in wet conditions
• Breathable, flexible backhand materials to allow hand movement and comfort
• Compression or form-fitting design for a snug, second-skin feel
• Reinforced fingers or padded knuckles in lineman gloves for protection against impact and abrasions
• Wrist closures or adjustable straps to ensure a secure, custom fit
