Sure-Grip Autosuede Palm

Water-absorbent micro-suede knit palm that conforms to your hand and club for a secure, consistent grip in the wettest conditions.

Quick-Dry II Knit

Advanced knit across the back of the fingers that dries quicker than standard materials, providing a more conformed fit while optimising breathability and flexibility.

ComforTab Closure

Strategically angled closure with dual-elastic band provides a secure, precision fit that stays put through your entire round.

Easy-Access Tee Holder

Conveniently positioned tee holder on the back of the glove – a thoughtful touch for golfers who want practical features on the course.

Strengths

• World-trusted brand with decades of glove expertise
• Dual-purpose design – effective in both wet and humid conditions
• Precision fit thanks to ComforTab closure system
• Practical tee holder adds on-course convenience
• Fast-drying knit keeps comfort levels high throughout

Considerations

• Mid-range price – not the most budget-friendly option
• Mesh back may feel cool in cold temperatures
• Less suitable for pure cold-weather play without layering

Aquatec Smart Fibre

The headline technology – a uniquely responsive material that guarantees maximum grip in wet weather conditions. The more moisture present, the more effective the grip becomes.

Micromesh Back

A soft mesh-covered back promotes airflow and aids air circulation in wet conditions, making this a particularly strong choice on warmer, wet days.

Thermoregulating Fibre

Innovative smart fibre responds to environmental changes, releasing surplus heat for breathability throughout your round.

Machine Washable

Wash at 30 degrees C for easy care – a practical advantage over many gloves that must be hand-washed or air-dried only.

Strengths

• Premium grip technology genuinely improves with moisture
• Widest size range available (XS to XXL)
• Available for men and ladies – excellent inclusivity
• Thermoregulating fibre adds breathability in warm conditions
• Machine washable for easy maintenance
• Stretchy, form-fitting material for excellent feel

Considerations

• The highest price in the comparison at £24.50
• Optimised for wet and warm – less suited to cold, dry days
• A less well-known brand to some golfers, though highly rated by users

Microfibre Suede Palm

Tour-proven microfibre suede provides an unmatched grip in wet or humid weather, maximising control and feel even in challenging conditions.

Quick-Dry Knit Back

Advanced quick-dry knit on the back of the hand fights rain and humidity, helping maintain optimum breathability and comfort throughout the round.

Flexible and Comfortable

Designed for comfort and flexibility in difficult playing conditions, the Srixon Golf Rain Gloves allow a natural swing without restriction.

Strengths

• Best value in the comparison at £13.95
• Tour-proven microfibre suede technology
• Genuine wet-weather performance without compromise
• Comfortable and flexible throughout the round
• Trusted Srixon brand with strong reputation across equipment

Considerations

• No tee holder or additional functional features
• May not last as long under heavy, frequent use as premium options

Opti Grip Technology

Callaway’s proprietary Opti Grip provides strong traction in rain conditions, specifically engineered to prevent the club from slipping when the weather turns.

Durable Synthetic Materials

Flexible, long-lasting synthetic construction offers comfort and performance round after round, with durability that justifies repeated use in poor conditions.

The stretch binding cuff improves fit while also absorbing moisture, contributing to a glove that feels secure and comfortable even in prolonged wet weather.

Strengths

• Callaway Opti Grip is proven wet-weather technology
• Mid-range price offers strong value proposition
• Durable synthetic construction built to last
• Stretch cuff provides secure fit and moisture absorption
• Trusted Callaway brand – authorised retailer assurance

Considerations

• Mens only – no ladies sizing option in this line
• Less advanced technology compared to MacWet’s Aquatec system
• Sits between budget and premium without quite hitting the top of either category

StormGrip Suede Palm

A specialist suede palm designed specifically for maximum traction in damp conditions, helping maintain complete control at impact even in heavy rain.

Moisture Membrane + DWR Coating

A proprietary moisture membrane combined with a Durable Water Repellent coating work together to help keep hands dry even in prolonged or heavy rainfall.

Touchscreen-Compatible Fingertip

A thoughtful modern feature – the index finger remains touchscreen compatible so you can use your GPS device or phone without removing your gloves.

Lightweight Mesh Panels

Strategic lightweight mesh panels enhance breathability and comfort, preventing the overheating that can occur with fully sealed waterproof gloves.

Strengths

• Moisture membrane adds a layer of protection beyond most competitors
• DWR coating helps actively repel water from the glove surface

• Competitive pricing at £19.95 for this level of technology

The All-Weather Competitor

Profile: Plays year-round, never walks in, enters competitions regardless of conditions. Grip performance in heavy rain is non-negotiable.

Recommendation: Cobra StormGrip or MacWet Micromesh

Why: The moisture membrane and DWR on the Cobra, or the Aquatec smart fibre on the MacWet, both deliver best-in-class wet grip for serious conditions.

Pair with: A full set of waterproofs and a quality golf umbrella

The Occasional Wet-Weather Golfer

Profile: Plays mainly in good weather but wants reliable backup for when it turns. Doesn’t want to spend a premium on gloves used a handful of times per season.

Recommendation: Srixon Golf Rain Gloves

Why: At £13.95, these represent outstanding value for occasional use without sacrificing the genuine wet-weather performance you need when it matters.

Tip: Keep them sealed in your bag as an emergency kit – they will be ready when you need them most.

The Brand-Loyal Performance Golfer

Profile: Plays regularly, invests in quality equipment, and wants the best fit and feel available from a trusted glove specialist brand.

Recommendation: FootJoy HydroSeries RainGrip

Why: FootJoy’s heritage in glove design, the Sure-Grip Autosuede palm, precision ComforTab closure, and practical tee holder combine to create the most complete overall package.

Also consider: FootJoy’s full clothing range for a coordinated look

Microfibre and Micro-Suede Palms

Found in: FootJoy, Srixon, Cobra
What it does: Unlike smooth leather, micro-suede and microfibre fabrics have a textured surface that mechanically locks onto the grip in wet conditions. Water acts as a lubricant for leather, but these materials absorb moisture and maintain – or even improve – surface friction.
Real-world performance: Particularly effective in light to moderate rain and humid conditions. The more you use these gloves in the wet, the more they tend to conform and improve.

Aquatec Smart Fibre (MacWet)

Found in: MacWet Micromesh
What it does: MacWet’s proprietary Aquatec material is engineered to become more grippy as it encounters moisture. Combined with thermoregulating smart fibre that releases surplus heat, this is the most sophisticated material technology in comparison.
Real-world performance: Outstanding in warm, wet conditions. Less suited to cold winter rounds where hand warmth is a priority. Machine washable at 30 degrees, making maintenance straightforward.

DWR Coating (Cobra)

Found in: Cobra StormGrip
What it does: Durable Water Repellent coating is a chemical treatment applied to the glove’s outer surface. Water beads up and runs off rather than being absorbed, which helps keep the glove lighter and more comfortable in prolonged rainfall.
Real-world performance: Most effective in steady or heavy rain where a non-coated glove would become waterlogged. Works in tandem with Cobra’s moisture membrane for layered protection.

Opti Grip Technology (Callaway)

Found in: Callaway Rain Spann
What it does: Callaway’s Opti Grip system is engineered to deliver maximum traction in wet conditions through a combination of material selection and surface construction on the palm and fingers.
Real-world performance: Reliable and consistent. Works well across a broad range of wet conditions and is particularly effective when paired with Callaway’s stretch binding cuff for a secure overall fit.

Quick-Dry Knit Backs

Found in: FootJoy, Srixon
What it does: The back of the hand is constructed from a fast-drying knit material that wicks and disperses moisture rapidly. This reduces the soaked, heavy feeling that can make standard gloves uncomfortable in rain.
Real-world performance: Keeps comfort levels high throughout the round and means gloves dry faster between shots when sheltering under a golf umbrella.

Closure Systems: Tabs, Cuffs, and Velcro

Found across: All gloves
What it does: How a glove closes matters more than many golfers realise. FootJoy’s ComforTab with dual-elastic provides a precise, consistent fit. MacWet uses a strong velcro cuff for adjustability. Cobra’s form-fitted wristbands reduce bulk. Callaway’s stretch binding cuff absorbs moisture at the wrist.
Real-world performance: A poor fit causes wrinkles in the palm, which reduces your feel of the club. Choosing a glove with the right closure for your wrist size is as important as the palm material.
