Receiver gloves are not supposed to be a science experiment mid game.
Yet every weekend, you see it.
Spit.
Wipe.
Rub.
Repeat.
Play after play, just trying to get the glove to kind of work again.
It is gross.
And worse, it does not actually solve the problem.
Why SFIA compliance matters more than players realize
Football receiver gloves are required to meet SFIA specifications. That means the glove material and tack level must stay within defined limits.
Once you start adding substances that are not approved, you are risking more than performance. You are risking compliance.
That is why most grip enhancers are a problem. They change the surface behavior of the glove instead of maintaining it.
Turf dust is the real enemy
Here is the part most players miss.
Dust kills stickiness.
Indoor turf. Outdoor turf. Practice fields. Game fields. All of them shed fine particles that cling to moisture.
When players use spit or grip enhancers, the glove becomes a dust magnet. The stickier it feels in the moment, the more dust it attracts.
That starts a vicious cycle
• Dust sticks to the glove
• Glove loses effectiveness
• Player spits again
• More dust sticks
• Glove gets worse
By the fourth quarter, the glove barely works at all.
Why adding grip usually makes things worse
Most products marketed as grip enhancers are not designed for glove materials.
They leave residue.
They increase surface moisture.
They attract more dust.
That is the opposite of what receiver gloves need.
What gloves actually need is to be cleaned without being altered.
Why Geko 2 in 1 is different for football gloves
Geko 2 in 1 is a Grip Restore and Cleaner, not a grip additive.
It was tested and passed SFIA specifications, meaning it maintains the glove’s compliant tack level instead of changing it. That is why it can be used during the game without violating glove standards.
Geko breaks down sweat, spit, and grime while preserving the soft sticky material of the glove.
No residue.
No artificial buildup.
No dust trap.
Because the surface stays clean and balanced, it does not attract turf dust the way spit or enhancers do.
What this actually does on the field
When glove feel stays consistent
• Confidence stays high
• Hand placement stays aggressive
• Players stop thinking about their gloves
• Focus stays on the ball
That is how game winning catches happen.
Consistency is not flashy, but it wins games.
Cleaner, smarter, and way less disgusting
There is no reason to be spitting on gloves in 2026.
A few sprays.
Wipe dry.
Back to work.
Gloves stay compliant.
Grip stays consistent.
Dust stays off.
Why Geko leads the category
There are plenty of sport cleaners.
There are plenty of so called grip sprays.
Geko 2 in 1 is the only Grip Restore and Cleaner designed to maintain SFIA compliant glove performance while actually solving the dust problem.
That is why players trust it.
That is why it works.
That is why it leads the market.
