Golf Gloves

The best golf gloves for grip are made from premium Cabretta leather or high-tack synthetic materials. Cabretta leather offers a soft, second-skin feel with excellent traction, while synthetic options often add durability and moisture resistance. Look for gloves that combine AAA Cabretta leather palms with breathable panels, giving you consistent grip in dry, humid, or even slightly wet conditions.

Golfers wear gloves to improve grip, prevent slipping, and protect their hands from blisters. A well-fitted glove enhances control of the club throughout the swing, especially in warm, humid, or rainy weather. Without a glove, sweaty or wet hands can cause the club to twist at impact, reducing accuracy and distance. A golf glove ensures comfort, consistency, and control on every shot.

Golf gloves are typically worn on the lead hand (the weaker hand at the top of the grip). Right-handed golfers wear their glove on the left hand, while left-handed golfers wear it on the right hand. This helps maximise grip pressure and stability, while keeping the trail hand free for better feel. Our golf gloves are designed to be worn on the left hand.

Finding the right size is essential for performance. To determine your glove size, measure the circumference of your hand just below the knuckles (excluding the thumb). Compare your measurement with our golf glove size chart to find the perfect fit. The most common size for men is Medium/Large, but we always recommend measuring to ensure the glove fits snugly without bunching or slipping.

A golf glove should fit like a second skin, with no loose material at the fingertips or palm. It should feel snug but not restrictive, allowing for full range of motion while gripping the club. If the glove feels too tight or the Velcro tab barely closes, it’s too small; if it’s baggy or slides around, it’s too big. A properly fitted glove improves feel, control, and shot consistency.

For hot weather, choose a glove designed with breathable mesh panels, perforated Cabretta leather, or moisture-wicking fabrics. These materials increase airflow and help keep your hands cool and dry even during long rounds. Many golfers rotate gloves during play in summer to prevent sweat build-up. Our range of lightweight, breathable Cabretta leather gloves are perfect for warm climates.

To make your golf glove last longer, rotate between 2–3 gloves during a round, especially in hot or humid conditions. After your round, avoid throwing the glove straight into your golf bag; instead, air dry it and store it flat in the glove pouch to prevent stretching. Never leave it crumpled in heat, as this damages the leather. For maximum protection, consider using a leather golf glove case, which helps maintain freshness and shape.

This usually happens when sweat, dirt, or rainwater is left to dry inside the glove. The salts in sweat can stiffen the leather. To prevent this you can rotate between 2-3 gloves during a round and air dry your glove after every round, avoid leaving it in your golf bag, and consider storing it in a leather glove case

Yes, but only certain types. Synthetic golf gloves can often be hand-washed gently in cool water with mild soap, then air-dried. Cabretta leather golf gloves should not be fully washed, as water can damage the leather and reduce grip. Instead, wipe them down with a damp cloth and let them air dry naturally. Never put golf gloves in the washing machine or dryer.
