These Top-Rated Golf Gloves Improve Grip and Cut the Slip

Golf is one of our favorite outdoor activities, but we are pretty fair-weather about it. On days when it's sunny and cool, a round of 18 holes with your mates is one of the best ways to catch some rays, get some exercise, shoot the shit, and maybe even win some money (though gambling can add some tension to the sport).

If you're a frequent golfer, you've probably spent hours (or even days) researching and swinging the clubs you play with. You carefully select a comfortable, moisture-wicking outfit, and color-coordinate your golf shoes. With such attention paid to every detail, don't stop short when picking a glove. A golf glove that fits your hand well, wicks away moisture, and improves your grip on the club is a must-have to playing better.

How We Chose

To help you choose a golf glove that fits your game best, we spent hours researching the best options on the market and surveying user reviews. We emphasized material, moisture-wicking or drying capabilities, fit, brand, and even style. Put simply, leather provides the truest feel for days when the weather cooperates, but synthetics breathe better and dry faster.
