Best Golf Gloves For Winter

FootJoy WinterSof Golf Glove

+ Good grip in wet conditions
+ Thermal properties
– Available in black only

If you’re looking at the best golf gloves for winter, you have to consider this option from FootJoy. Always at the forefront of golf glove 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.

In addition, these gloves are functional off the course as well as on. Given the grip and thermal qualities, and high-visibility piping on the back of the glove, they could be worn for running, cycling or other outdoor winter activities.

Sold in pairs, the WinterSof is available in sizes from S to XL.

MacWet Winter Climatec Golf Glove

+ Superb grip in wet conditions
+ Windproof
– No ball marker attachment

MacWet’s Aquatec material is one of the very best out there for delivering exceptional grip in wet conditions. These gloves, designed to be worn as a pair, can definitely help you hold on to the club when the rain starts to come down.

In addition, the gloves are water resistant and wind proof and fleece lined on the back to help keep your hands warm in colder weather.

One of the great qualities of the MacWet gloves is their durability. They’ll easily last a full winter season and beyond. They’re comfortable to wear, quick drying and they look sleek and stylish to boot.

Another bonus is that these gloves can be used for other outdoor activities that require grip in wet conditions – fishing, horse riding or cycling for instance.

Cobra StormGrip Winter Glove

+ Excellent grip in wet weather
+ Index finger is touch screen compatible
– No ball marker attachment

These gloves work well as a pair and the fit is excellent. They’re sleek and comfortable and feel on the grip is not compromised.

The grip provided by the StormGrip suede fabric is outstanding and we found performance improved when they got wetter.

A tailored, elasticated cuff helps keep out a cool breeze and they’re water resistant to keep your hands dry.

A nice touch is that the index finger is touch screen compatible so you can operate an electric trolley, GPS device or your phone without having to take them off.

Overall the Cobra StormGrip ticks a lot of boxes if you’re in the market for a solid winter golf glove – durable, comfortable, good fit, good grip, good looks – A good product.

With a dual layer fabric on the top of the hand and a brushed interior, plus ColdGear infrared lining, the Under Armour ColdGear golf gloves will keep your hands warm in all but the most brutal conditions. ColdGear technology has been developed to help your body absorb and retain body heat.

Sold in pairs, the gloves’ soft leather palm offers great feel and a sleek finish. It may not provide the best grip in the wettest weather, but it’s generally pretty durable and robust.

This is a great option in colder, dry conditions though – It will keep you warm without compromising touch and feel.

– Warming benefits effected negatively if gloves get wet

There’s nothing worse than losing the feeling in your fingers on a winter’s day on the golf course. These super-soft fleece and suede gloves are great in cold, dry weather and will help you to keep playing when the mercury falls.

The soft fleece back and elasticated cuff deliver good thermal qualities while the suede palm gives maximum grip and feel.

+ Soft leather grip
+ Great thermal properties
– Premium price tag

Galvin Green is at the cutting edge of performance equipment and, as you would expect, their winter golf glove offering is packed with technologies to help you get the most from your game during the colder months.

The windproof, softshell fabric back provides great protection against the elements while the cabretta leather palm offers good grip and feel.

This is a stylish looking glove and the fit is excellent – A solid Velcro closure system combines with an extended cuff to make sure your hands are as snug as possible.

These may not be suitable for wet weather golf, but they certainly tick all the boxes for a cold, dry day.

Sleek, stylish, super-warm and lightweight, they offer excellent levels of protection without compromising on feel.

Zoom Weather Glove

+ Superb fit
+ Excellent feel
– Not as much in the way of thermal qualities

Developed in conjunction with Austrian Tour pro Marcus Brier, Zoom gloves are one-size fits all and have been engineered to fit like a second skin.

With FLEXX-FIT technology, essentially a Lycra-style section on the back that incorporates a mix of flex zones to fit the contours of a golfer’s hand, it does just that.

The back of the glove is stretch Lycra while the palm is a highly durable all-weather material.

We like the fact that the glove’s structure is such that it doesn’t lose its shape, even when it gets wet. It’s a solid item of equipment.

Rife RX2 All-Weather Winter Glove

+ Super thin for an all-weather glove
+ Durable
– Not as much protection from elements as some

This is one for when the winter weather is unpredictable. It offers all-weather capabilities but the feel and performance of a standard glove.

Constructed from a blend of synthetic leather and cabretta leather on the thumb and palm, it offers great touch and feel on the golf club.

The glove fits well thanks to the Velcro closure system and we found it to be a hard-wearing bit of kit that will continue to perform well in all but the harshest of winter conditions.
