FootJoy StaSof Golf Glove
FootJoy StaSof Glove
+ Superb feel and fit
+ Excellent grip
– Soft leather isn’t as durable as some materials
FootJoy has been making the premium all-leather StaSof since 1980 and it remains the company’s most popular glove among tour players.
Constructed from TactionLT Advanced Performance leather, it feels fantastic against your skin and it delivers that hint of natural tackiness you expect from high-end leather, helping you maintain a strong grip on the club.
Breathing holes on the front and back of the fingers help keep your hand cool, while the PowerNet mesh across the knuckles adds to the glove’s flexibility.
The Velcro closure tab is slightly angled to work with the shape of the hand and overall, it’s a very comfortable glove to wear.
Although leather won’t last like some synthetic fabrics, the StaSof is impressively durable and we found it will continue to perform after a number of rounds and practice sessions.

– Although durable for leather, it’s not as durable as some synthetic models
Constructed from premium CabrettaSof leather, this is a nice feeling glove. But with its technical construction it’s also highly flexible and breathable.
The CabrettaSof leather palm offers that nice tacky grip you would expect from a leather glove and it’s pretty durable to boot.
On the back of the glove, a high performance FiberSof material allows for excellent flexibility and enhanced comfort.
The PowerNet mesh across the knuckles also helps with movement.
Although the fit is neat, it certainly doesn’t feel constrictive and you can move fingers freely.
Perforations have been strategically placed to allow for good breathability while the elastic cuff is moisture wicking to further enhance fit and comfort.
Overall, this is a great glove offering a blend of premium leather quality and technological innovation, it’s one of the best FootJoy golf gloves out there.

We like the touch of the magnetic ball marker on the back of the hand – it’s unobtrusive but easy to access, removing the need for fumbling in the pocket!

FootJoy RainGrip Golf Glove
FootJoy Rain Grip Glove
+ Quick drying
+ Available as a pair
– Won’t keep hands warm
The FootJoy RainGrip glove showcases the company’s expertise when it comes to producing innovative and functional products. It’s one of the best wet weather golf gloves out there.
The autosuede knit palm provides tremendous grip in the wet. In fact, the wetter it gets, the better the grip. We found that, if you’re playing in the rain, it’s a good idea to get the palm of the RainGrip a little wet before you even start to maximise grip.
It’s very comfortable for a wet weather glove, lightweight and neat fitting with stretch properties meaning it hugs the hand nicely.
The QuikDry knit fabric has been designed not only to be quick drying, as the name suggests, but also breathable and flexible.
The ball marker is a nice feature and actually comes in very useful on wet days, giving you one less reason to have to dig around in soggy pockets.
The FootJoy RainGrip is available either as a single glove or a pair.

If you’re looking at the best golf gloves for winter, you have to consider this option from FootJoy. At the forefront of innovation, FootJoy’s WinterSof gloves deliver on a number of levels.
Firstly, they feature the autosuede knit palm that appears on their RainGrip rain glove – it offers exceptional levels of grip in wetter conditions and will actually become more grippy the wetter it gets.
Then, with a waterproof structured nylon construction and weather shield foam fleece on the back of the glove, they will help keep your hands warm and dry in poor weather.
Further warmth and comfort are delivered by the extended knit cuff which really helps keep out the wind and cold.
