Hi, I'mJochen.
25 years in goal · Goalkeeper · Founder of GloveBag
For over 25 years I played goalkeeper myself. Week after week I washed my gloves — or more accurately: I had to wash them. I never felt like it, but I needed maximum grip to play my best.
With the GloveBag, I want to solve a small but incredibly annoying problem for millions of goalkeepers — for good.
I have everythingtried and tested.
It started with washing my gloves in the sink with regular detergent — and soon wondering why the latex was getting hard and brittle so fast.
Then came the first goalkeeper glove detergents. Of course I bought them. And sure, the gloves came out cleaner and held their grip longer — but the effort was still there. And the detergents weren't cheap either.
For a while I washed the gloves in the shower straight after training. Sounds like a time-saver — but I was always the last one out of the changing room.
"Why is there
the GloveBag
not already?"
From the Prototypeto the product.
The more I looked into it, the more I wondered why the GloveBag hadn't existed for the past 20 years. So I got to work:
- 01First designs sketched
- 02Need validated through a survey of 250+ goalkeepers
- 03Reliable supplier found
- 04Concept perfected — microfiber, volume, zipper

From youth football all the way to the Bundesliga — the GloveBag has become a staple piece of keeper kit across Europe.
Better Gamethrough betterGrip.
The GloveBag isn’t a gadget. It’s a wash system that takes over the glove care keepers never enjoyed anyway. Less effort, longer lifespan, better grip when it counts.
We’re a small team of goalkeepers, coaches and designers. We test every product ourselves first — in training, not in a lab. And if something doesn’t work, it’s out.
Maximum grip. Zero stress.
