B2 Goalkeeping

B2 Goalkeeping: goalkeeper gloves designed by a goalkeeper

B2 Goalkeeping is a goalkeeper glove brand based in Manchester, United Kingdom, created by a goalkeeper who, after trying numerous brands, wanted to develop a glove that did not force a choice between grip and price. The company presents itself as a project born from direct experience in goal and aimed at offering a high standard of materials at an affordable cost for players of any age.

Glove and accessory range

The glove range includes several models. The Audacious Pack is offered in four colourways: Gold/Black, Neon Yellow/Blue, Black/Blue and White/Orange. It features a Breath Preme backhand, soft silicone 3D injected across the knuckles and a 4 mm contact German latex palm, with negative and roll finger cuts in sizes 8 to 11. The Hybrid Evolution 2.0, previously sold as the B2 VG3, combines a hybrid cut that offers the comfort of roll finger on the outer fingers and a negative fit through the palm. The Pure Thunder Evolution 2.0 and the Cyclone Thunder Evolution 2.0 complete the range, the latter with a 4 mm contact German latex palm. The brand also sells accessories such as shin pads, base layers, grip socks, snoods and tape.

Materials and construction

Every model in the range uses a 4 mm contact German latex palm. The palm is pressed rather than laid flat, which the archived spec sheets called the Active Cell Zone, with the aim of providing greater freedom of movement, ergonomics and breathability inside the glove. The backhand is engraved to help the hand flex, and the knuckle area has extra volume, the Punching Zone, to cushion the impact when punching. Soft silicone is 3D injected on top and the whole assembly is mounted on highly breathable mesh. The closure consists of an elastic wristband with a detachable velcro strap and an extended palm, allowing the fit to be adjusted.

Cuts and sizes

The brand offers two main cuts, negative and roll finger, and a third hybrid cut on the Evolution 2.0 model. The negative cut fits tight to the hand with the seams on the inside, while the roll finger wraps the latex around the finger and fits about half a size larger. Sizes range from 5 to 11, a wide range designed so that young goalkeepers or their families can access a quality glove.

Brand origin and philosophy

The founder was born in Mozambique and spent his youth there. His interest in football arose from the insistence of a friend, Bruno Narciso, who took him to play for a team. From there he developed a passion that led him to travel to different countries and to play as a goalkeeper, trying numerous glove brands. Over time, he set out to create his own brand with a clear goal: to offer a high-standard glove at a price any age could afford, remembering the financial difficulties he himself experienced in Africa when trying to access a good pair of gloves. The range never exceeded £44.99, and every model, from the Pure Thunder to the Zeus Último, kept the same 4 mm contact German latex palm. A lower price in the range meant a smaller size or a simpler body, not a worse-quality palm.

Sales by enquiry and customer service

The site has no cart or checkout process: all sales are handled by enquiry. The brand asks interested customers to state the model, size and cut they want so it can respond with a proposal. For those unsure about sizing, they ask for the model and size they usually wear in another brand, as well as the type of cut, to determine the equivalent. They also warn that a 4 mm contact latex palm is suitable for matches, as it is soft and sticky, but wears faster on dry artificial turf surfaces than on wet grass, so they recommend stating the playing surface and frequency of use to assess whether an additional training pair is advisable. Enquiries are handled personally, with no automated queues, and no card details are requested on the website.

Shipping and promotions

The company offers express delivery with a guaranteed pre-1pm delivery in the United Kingdom, door-to-door tracking on every parcel and a regular 15% discount on all orders over £50. This discount is presented as a permanent offer, not a seasonal one, with the aim of keeping the gloves accessible.
