Description
Osaka Yoroi Semi Foam Glove | Left Hand (2026/2027 Edition)
Targeted metacarpal protection, open-finger mobility, and impact-absorbing EVA foam construction. The Osaka Yoroi Semi Foam Glove | Left Hand (2026/2027 Edition) is a lightweight protective field hockey glove designed for players who want additional protection across the vulnerable back of the lead hand while maintaining excellent finger movement and stick feel. High-density EVA foam protects the metacarpals and knuckle areas against ball impacts and accidental stick contact, while the semi-foam, open-finger construction preserves natural articulation and direct contact with the stick. Finished with a durable Lycra-reinforced outer and an adjustable elastic wrist strap, the Yoroi Semi Foam provides a strong balance of protection, flexibility, and control.
Targeted Protection Without Restricting Your Grip: Full-finger gloves provide extensive coverage but can feel restrictive for players who prioritise maximum movement and tactile feedback. The Yoroi Semi Foam concentrates its protective EVA padding across the exposed backhand and knuckle areas while leaving the fingers considerably freer to flex around the stick. This makes it particularly suited to players looking for lead-hand protection during tackles without sacrificing responsive stick handling.
Key Performance Features:
-
Targeted Metacarpal Protection: High-density EVA foam is positioned across the middle hand bones and knuckle area to help absorb and disperse impacts from hockey balls and accidental stick contact.
-
Semi-Foam Open-Finger Design: Reduced finger coverage allows greater joint movement and maintains a more natural connection with the stick handle.
-
High-Density EVA Cushioning: Lightweight impact-absorbing foam provides protective coverage without adding the excessive bulk associated with heavier full-hand gloves.
-
Durable Lycra-Reinforced Outer: Flexible outer construction helps protect the underlying foam against regular wear and surface abrasion during low defensive play.
-
Grip-Enhancing Palm Profile: Tactile internal construction helps maintain secure contact with the stick and reduces unwanted glove movement during rapid wrist actions.
-
Left-Hand Specific Ergonomics: Anatomically shaped specifically for the lead left hand, concentrating protection around areas commonly exposed during tackling and defensive play.
-
Adjustable Elastic Wrist Strap: Secure adjustable closure allows players to customise the fit while helping keep the glove correctly positioned throughout training and matches.
