Tip 4: over the knee socks!
Last by not least, a quick final thought for anyone reading, is over the knee socks. Socks that essentially just cover the leg beyond the knee (as the name suggests!!), they offer a bit of extra warmth further up your legs (useful for your muscle groups as I'll mention in a mo). As well modeled by French goalkeeper Yohann Thuram-Ulien (who is currently playing on loan at Charlton), who is one of the only pro goalkeepers I've seen wearing them, they basically offer a bit of extra warmth and protection I guess, if playing on 3G/astroturf surfaces, so you don't get shredded knee caps. A useful thought, if you do play regularly on this type of pitch! And gawd how they burn!
Keeping your lower body muscle groups warm is just as important as keeping your lower ones warm. Called into action without being warmed up or ready, you could easily pull a muscle trying to make the save or move quickly to reach the ball. Wearing something to keep you that little bit extra warm can be a difference maker in this situation when playing in the cold.

As far as I know, Rinat are the only goalkeeping kit producers to be making them for goalkeepers, otherwise I'm sure you could just look for a long sock that stretches over the knee if you're in your teens/aren't the tallest goalie around?!?!! I think it's an option to mull over, I'm sure there will be loads of naysayers, but I think it's a bit of a unique look and would like to see more goalkeepers rocking this look! Just for the sake of difference, but also because goalkeepers are best eccentric like Grobbelaar etc.!!
Thought I would throw it out there as they can be useful keeping you warm as well as protecting you from turf burns (very useful!).
