No more stopping practices or games to retie laces—and especially no more tripping on them!

This hybrid ball was created after observing soccer players in action.
This ball's hybrid design combines the comfort of a machine-stitched ball with the durability of a hand-sewn one (the seams are on the inside).We've also used a special bladder (2 km [1 mi] of thread is wrapped around it) to ensure lasting inflation and better sphericity.

The story behind this ball

We have developed a tool that allows us to measure the our balls' durability.
We identify and evaluate all possible defects through a series of practical lab tests.
We use these tests to compare our soccer balls' overall durability with that of others available on the market.Our aim is to offer the most durable products on the market.

Prioritizing durability

This ball complies with official FIFA standards and weighs between 410 g and 450 g [14 1/2 and 16 oz.] (size 5).
FIFA Basic-approved.

Too light? Too heavy? The weight is standardized.

This ball measures between 68.0 cm and 70.0 cm (27 and 27 1/2") and complies with official FIFA standards.
FIFA Basic approved.

How big is it? What’s the circumference?

Here’s how we test sphericity:
Average measured variation: 1.8% max (FIFA Basic standard).
We measure the ball’s sphericity at 4,500 different points and then examine any differences. 
If the discrepancy is greater than 1.8% (FIFA Basic standard), our engineers work on improving the sphericity to ensure a consistent bounce.

A round ball?

Here’s how we test pressure loss: We inflate the ball to the recommended pressure (11.6 psi).
The ball cannot lose more than 15% of its pressure over 72 hours, meaning a maximum pressure loss of 1.5 psi (FIFA Basic standard). The pressure after 72 hours must be approximately 10.1 psi.
This also means that it’s quite normal for a ball to lose pressure after a few days.

Maximum pressure loss test: here’s what we do.

Here’s how we test water absorption:
To simulate rainy playing conditions in a lab, we put the ball in 2 cm (1") of water on a pivoting support and subject it to 250 compressions.
At the end of testing, the ball must have absorbed no more than 15% of its weight (FIFA Basic certification).

We’ve also tested how much water the ball absorbs.

Here’s the bounce test: 
The ball is dropped onto a steel plate 10 times from a height of 2 metres (2 yd).
 The bounce height must be between 125 cm and 155 cm (49" and 61"), with a maximum difference of 10 cm (4") between its highest and lowest bounce.

It’s all about the bounce

The most rigorous test we put this ball through is the shooting machine test.
The ball must resist 2,500 shoots against a concrete slope at 50 km/h (30 mi/h) at a distance of 2.5 m (3 yd).
At the end of the test, we check:
- The ball’s general condition: Stitching must remain intact
- Circumference: Must not have varied by more than 1.5 cm (3/5").
- Sphericity: Must not have varied by more than 1.8%
Pressure: Pressure loss must not exceed 12.5%

Not even a scratch!

A base layer is an insulating layer that keeps you warm. 
It also absorbs moisture and wicks away perspiration to leave your skin dry. It also helps maintain your internal body temperature at 37°C during exercise, in both hot and cool weather. 
It dries very quickly. It can do this over a longer period by wicking perspiration away so you stay comfortable for longer.

Why we recommend wearing a technical base layer

This Keepcomfort Base Layer Top was designed for soccer players seeking a comfortable, close-fitting base layer to wear in cool weather. The product is very comfy for moderate intensity play or sports activity that makes you sweat a little.

What our design team has to say

Here at Kipsta, our product certification unit tests all our technical base layer garments to precisely measure heat retention and perspiration wicking capacity. This means we can advise you of the most suitable product, based on your usage and the weather conditions.

Size 6: Girls over 11 and women of all ages. 
Size 7: Boys and Men of all ages over 13

What ball size should you choose? 


For durability, choose a rubber ball. If you want a ball with a good feel, leather or synthetic is what you need.

What ball should you use?

A basketball that is overinflated or underinflated doesn’t give you the best match experience.
The recommended pressure is clearly written on the ball by the manufacturer. 
Ideally, you should use a pump with a pressure gauge for precision inflation.
We recommend a pressure of 8.99 psi.
Enjoy your game!
