Which golf glove to wear in which season?

Golf is, in principle, a sport you can play year-round — as long as you're prepared for changing weather conditions. One essential part of your gear is the right golf glove. But which glove should you wear when?

Summer: light, breathable, and comfortable

In summer, you’ll want a glove that’s light and breathable. High temperatures and humidity call for materials that wick away sweat and keep your hand cool. The best golf glove for summer is typically made of cabretta leather, combined with mesh panels or micro-perforated material. This provides ventilation without compromising grip or style.

Tip: Choose lighter colours in summer — they reflect sunlight and stay cooler.

Autumn: flexible and weather-resistant

Autumn often means unpredictable weather. A fall glove should be flexible, but also able to handle a bit of rain or chill. The ideal choice here is a hybrid glove — for example, cabretta leather on the palm for grip, and PU leather with a water-repellent coating on the outside. Make sure the glove maintains its grip when it gets wet.

Winter: stay warm

Cold winter days on the course call for gloves that keep both hands warm — without sacrificing feel or control. Winter golf gloves are often lined with fleece or thermal fabric and have a slightly thicker build. Choose a snug fit to maintain control over your swing.

Pro tip: In extreme cold, wear thin gloves underneath your golf gloves for added warmth.

Spring: back to balance

Spring demands a transitional glove: lighter than winter, but still offering protection on cool mornings. A spring glove is quite similar to an autumn glove but puts more emphasis on breathability.

In conclusion

Whether you're playing in summer heat or a brisk winter round, the right glove ensures comfort and control. At Winters Golf, we design premium golf gloves tailored to each season — combining performance with understated elegance.
