Varis X PRO or Invictus X PRO — Why Even Choose?

TL;DR: Both models feature the same German Contact PRO 4 mm latex. The difference is the glove's shape. Choose Varis X PRO (Negative cut) if you like dynamics, lightness, and a direct feel for the ball. Choose Invictus X PRO (Roll Finger+ cut) if you value stability, a fuller hand fit, and confidence when coming off your line.

Two cuts, one latex — what does it really mean?

Both models are in the X PRO series — our premium match-grade class. Both use German Contact PRO 4 mm latex, one of the top on the market. Both have a double elastic bandage. The grip class is the same.

The difference is in how the glove fits your hand:

Varis X PRO — Negative cut. The foam sits close to the hand, the glove fits tighter, and you get a more direct feel of the ball on first contact.
Invictus X PRO — Roll Finger+ cut. The foam extends beyond the hand, providing a larger contact area. The glove leaves more space, giving a fuller fit.

When Varis X PRO wins

You play dynamically, where reflexes count
Low balls, close to the ground — you need to feel the ball with your fingers, not just catch it with your whole hand
You prefer lighter, more fitted gloves
Your playing style is about reacting and piercing — you need precise handwork
Fit Skin 3D backhand + Punch+ zone supports punching

When Invictus X PRO wins

Coming out for crosses, high balls — you want maximum contact area
You catch with your whole hands, preferring to feel the ball "in the whole glove"
You prefer a more secure hand fit, confidence
Beta & Latex backhand + silicone punching zones — more support
You play in difficult conditions (wet grass, high crosses) — stability helps

How professional goalkeepers tested them

Every FM model undergoes tests with active league goalkeepers before hitting the store. In tests, Varis X PRO is chosen by goalkeepers who value dynamics (1st-3rd league players, those better "on the line"). Invictus X PRO is chosen by players who are very active in the penalty area (coming out, crosses, aggressive play on the goal line).
