It was lashing it down this morning when I arrived at the club for a comp today. Really not looking forward to playing but did not want to let me partner down. Spotted these in the pro shop and felt it was worth a shot for a tenner. I really cannot play when my glove gets wet and I start to lose grip on my clubs so I was willing to try anything. All I can say is 'wow'. It rained solidly for the whole of the front 9 to such an extent that play was then suspended but not once did I lose grip on my clubs. The gloves really did stick to the club like glue and I was more impressed with this glove than pretty much any golf product that I have tried recently. I will now never be without one of these in my bag. Quite simply, if I have to play in the rain then this glove is now as essential to me as an umbrella. For £10 I really would urge anyone to give these a try.

Great review, might need one of these considering the weather :( can't find it online though.
 
Apologies, I think that they are just called 'Raingrip' gloves, they just have 'Wetter the Better' in big letters across the packaging.
 
I picked one up on stag doo as was lashing down last day and it really was as good as you say. I even resorted to wipeing it over a wet bin lid to get it soaked and it was perfect. The wetter it gets the more it really does come into its own.
 
They come as either a pair or as a single glove. I bought a single glove (they didn't have any pairs) from our pro-shop a couple of weeks ago after having clubs twisting in my hand the day before when it was chucking it down. Even on just one hand it worked superbly, so well I ordered a pair the next day. Like GB72 I'll be leaving these in the bag permanently from now on.

If u had already bought one ..... and it worked ......... then WHY did u then order a PAIR....?????

Why NOT just order a SINGLE GLOVE , but for the OTHER HAND.....??....:whistle:
 
LOL. I could/should have done I suppose :o

But it wasn't very much extra, and now I have a spare for the one that will wear out first, really I'm just planning ahead ... everyone who only has two will be jealous when this weather continues and there's a shortage :D
 
Oxford - at least now you can order a single and have 2 pairs!

Gotta agree with the review. I use the umbrella more to protect my bag more than anything else. The gloves are excellent and give me a bit of confidence in the rain. I don't actually mind the rain coming down now as long as the wind is down. It's great watching others try to dry thier clubs with damp towels and hear them complain about the club slipping while I just pull them out and play as normal. Usually this isn't long after they've fired a few jibes about me trying to be like Tommy Gainey.
