Golf Gloves Buying Guide - How to buy Golf Gloves

• Cabretta leather or Synthetic leather.
  Gloves may be made of Cabretta leather or synthetic leather. Cabretta Leather Golf Gloves are soft and more comfortable on the hands. Synthetic Leather Golf Gloves are less soft but are more durable than Cabretta gloves. Synthetic Leather Golf Gloves are also waterproof and keeps their shape longer. Cabretta Gloves stiffen when they get wet and they wither easily. Most golfers seem to prefer Cabretta Leather.



• Fit and Comfort
  Golf Gloves come in different sizes and it is important to try golf gloves on before you buy them. Like with Golf Shoes, you are looking for a snug and supporting fit. Gloves that are too small will cause chafing and restrict finger movement. Gloves that are too loose will have excess material creating pressure points and loss of control.



• Water Resistance and Breathable
  Again, like in Golf Shoes, you are looking for Golf Gloves that resist water or are even waterproof and at the same time allow your sweat to exit the glove. Moist hands decrease your control and grip.



• Velcro Strap.
  Check if the Velcro strap fits properly across the back of your hand and makes contact across the full surface of the strap. Grass and dirt are likely to decrease the grip of the strap so you need to have full coverage.
