GRYPHON FREDDIE-F BLACK

The Gryphon Millennium G5 is a field hockey glove built around the G5 padding system, giving fuller coverage than a bare-knuckle mitt for players who want more protection when tackling. Finished in black and available in size L, it wraps padding across the knuckles and back of the hand while keeping the palm workable for stick control. Three variants are listed under this size, so there's a choice of fit within L. It's a solid option for players who find a slim mitt too exposed but don't want the stiffness of a full outfield glove.

The Gryphon Dannie-D is a toe guard built to protect the front of a field hockey shoe from the wear that comes with dragging, stopping and deflecting the ball - the kind of damage that eats through the toe of a boot long before the sole wears out. It straps over the front of the shoe rather than replacing any part of it, adding a layer of tough material exactly where the stick and ball make contact most. It's aimed at any level of player whose boots take a beating in the circle or during dribbling drills, and it works across shoe brands rather than being tied to a specific Gryphon boot. This version comes in black, sold as a single unit.

The Gryphon Sammie-S is a pair of goalkeeper kickers built to protect the feet and lower shin from close-range shots and rebounds in field hockey. Worn over the boot, they cover the toe and instep with dense padding while staying light enough not to slow down footwork in the D. Finished in black, they're supplied as a single, universal size with no separate sizing chart to check against a boot. A goalkeeper's kicker choice comes down to fit and feel underfoot as much as protection, and the Sammie-S keeps both close to the boot rather than adding bulk. Suited to keepers who want solid coverage without a stiff, oversized kicker getting in the way of quick clearances.

Ritual's Elastic Pro Tape is the roll you reach for when a grip starts slipping or a stick head needs reinforcing. It's an elastic wrap rather than a rigid tape, so it stretches around the handle or shaft of a field hockey stick and holds without bunching. The stretch gives it enough grip on itself to stay wrapped through a full session, and the elasticity means it can be tensioned tighter at the point where most players want extra hold, just under the grip. White in colour and sold as a universal-fit roll, it's one of those small items that ends up in every hockey bag once you've used it - simple to apply, cheap to replace, useful well beyond taping a single stick.
