Lacrosse Field Player Gloves

Measure the circumference of your dominant hand around the knuckles (excluding thumb) and check the brand's sizing chart; sizes typically run from youth to XL and fit should be snug across the palm and fingers while allowing wrist mobility

Look for multi-layer padding on the backhand and fingers, reinforced thumb protection, and a flexible cuff; quality gloves balance protection with dexterity so you can catch and pass without losing feel

Grip material on the palm (synthetic leather, Clarino, or silicone prints) directly affects stick control, and breathable, flexible materials help maintain hand feel and reduce sweat during play

Yes — attack and midfield gloves often prioritize lighter weight and greater finger mobility for ball control, while defensive gloves may offer heavier padding and wider coverage for checks and impacts

Prices vary by brand and features; budget options can be found below $50, mid-range gloves commonly fall between $50–$120, and premium models with advanced materials typically cost more, with an average around $100 in many catalogs

Air-dry gloves after use, avoid machine washing unless manufacturer advises it, clean palms with a damp cloth and mild soap, and store them in a ventilated area to prevent odor and material breakdown

Increased padding and rigid protective elements improve safety but can reduce finger mobility and stick feel; choose a model that matches your position and personal preference for protection versus dexterity
