Goalkeeper Equipment:

Quality is a big factor when deciding what to buy based on age - kids need a different quality (thickness = protection factor) than adults. Shot hardness and protection needs tend to be low for kids up to 12 years old, but in adult play, the quality of the equipment is more important simply because of the use of plastic bats. On the other hand, the team's playing cash is of no particular importance here. 

Rails and kickers:

The rails and kickers differ in a wide variety of quality levels. The thickness of the material and the shape also play a major role, in addition to the quality. Since every goalie has their own preferences, we offer a wide selection of TK and OBO brands.

OBO arguably offers some of the best field hockey goalie kickers on the market. The OBO ROBO Hi-Rebound Kickers offer maximum rebound - up to 50% more than the HI-Control Kickers, providing much better control and precision when defending your goal. Brand new from OBO - the OBO Robo Hi-Rebound Plus kickers are also available at HFS.

Goalkeeper Helmet:

The difference between regular goalie helmets and full-face helmets is a design issue. The difference that matters is when deciding between a synthetic helmet and a carbon helmet. Because of the material used, the carbon helmet, offers greater stability and improved protection. More important is the difference between a plastic helmet and a carbon/Kevlar helmet. The latter, because of the material used, offers greater stability (with less weight) and therefore improved protection.

OBO helmet size for head circumference:

Gr. S       53 cm - 55 cm

Size M    55 cm - 57 cm

Size L      57 cm - 59 cm

Chest protector/arm protector:

The chest protector including elbow protection is usually suitable for younger field hockey players, since the balls are shot up rather rarely. In professional classes and in the adult area, a full body protection is highly recommended, as it also protects the parts of the upper and lower arm, as well as shoulders. 

Goalkeeper pants:

Goalkeeper pants are usually very tight and therefore guarantee more freedom of movement. In addition, it offers optimal protection. 

Goalkeeper sticks:

Compared to normal field hockey sticks, towart sticks are characterized by their special shape and curvature. This improves the defense of flat shot and slightly bouncing balls on the backhand and forehand.
