10 Most Expensive Football Gloves

My 11 year old says these are the BEST football gloves because of their tackiness. I originally bought the Under Armour F5 (Med) and he said those hardly had any tackiness. When you compare the 2 side by side, he’s right. Battle gloves are definitely more grippy! So hurray for that! However, I was extremely lucky when it came to sizing it correctly. After reading nearly all the reviews on Amazon, I crossed my fingers and did what everyone said and ordered the bigger size. WHEW! So, his hands are 6.5″ from the base of the palm to the middle finger. If you go by the glove sizing chart posted (which I couldn’t figure out how to print to scale), I should’ve ordered a Youth Small. I ordered a Youth XL!!! These did fit a little big in the tips but he preferred it that way because the rest of the glove – well – “it fit like a glove” 😉 So, the reason I went way up in size… I measured from his wrist bones (the part that sticks out a bit) to the middle finger. This really would’ve put him at 7″ which is a Youth Large. Well the XL was only an eighth of an inch longer so I figured he’d get some room to grow, too. So in the pictures, you can see the bare hand with ruler and then how the XL fits on the hand. I also wanted to show that this is not super snug, when you bend the hand, there is some extra room in the palm that “bulges” out – some may not like that so that’s a consideration, too. I hope this helps others because this is really a nice glove – you just don’t need the sizing frustration!!

These are for my 5 year old son to play flag football. I got the youth small & they’re a perfect fit without being too tight. Velcro at the wrist, breathable neoprene on the top, & super tack vinyl on the palm side. They’ve helped him gain confidence in catching the ball, handling the ball better on hand-offs, & gripping it better to throw. Even with a little moisture on them they still have great grip. They’ve shown no wear, even after sliding across the grass. Very good quality.

My kids like the Battle brand. They were as described. They are similar to the Nike, Adidas, etc gloves. None of them last very long. And they all SMELL over time. The gloves don’t last long, maybe 2-4 months at most. They fall apart and smell and you buy new ones. We are used to it. We would buy again. Until someone invents a better quality, longer lasting, smell resistant glove, we will buy Battle.
