First Impressions
In terms of visual styling, golf gloves don’t tend to differ from brand to brand. Golf clothing and gear has transitioned to a more contemporary and stylish path, but golf gloves are probably the one exception to that.
Most of us would only ever consider wearing a white golf glove. Anything else is widely considered to pretty ‘uncool’, unless your Bubba Watson of course.
Although, I’m not overly particular when it comes to a golf glove I do think it is important to wear something that you feel is comfortable. It can often be a struggle out there on the golf course and the last thing you want is to be uncomfortable swinging and holding the club.
A leather golf glove, is often the answer that offers great comfort, breathability and unrivalled feel. Srixon have certainly achieved that here with the inclusion of high grade Cabretta leather. The brand say that they have used the finest Cabretta leather to provide an optimal fit, feel and performance.
I have to say I had absolutely no complaints when it came to comfort and feel. These gloves deliver the ideal quality you would expect from a brand like Srixon that has a number of tour players wearing their gloves week in, week out.
Additionally, the glove fit true to size. I liked how there was no excess material and it was fairly tight but comfortable fit which is what I tend to look for.

Testing
I am yet to test this golf glove on the course but I have put it through its paces on the range and when practicing. The glove held up with no problems, keeping it shape well. It also possessed plenty of grip and the club felt secure in my grasp throughout the swing.
Srixon have equipped the Cabretta leather golf glove with the use of silicon tanning process which works to deliver this premium grip. It also ensures a soft and subtle feel.
The perforations on the top of the hand, fingers and between the fingers increase the breathability and reduce the moisture. This breathable commodity will come into its own as the golf season develops and summer arrives. All golfers hate to have a sweaty hand in there glove that makes gripping the putter that bit more challenging.
Having only tested this golf glove in the range and practice area, the glove didn’t have to contend with any rainfall, so I can’t comment on its performance in the wet.
