I played in a monsoon at the weekend so it was a great opportunity to try out my new Glenmuir Macwet rain gloves. Unlike most rain gloves, these come as a pair and are intended to be kept on after they become wet.
They are very light and feature a mesh backing. This means that they don't absorb a lot of water and don't become heavy and uncomfortable. They are very thin and you still retain a lot of feel so can find tees etc in the bottom of the golf bag without removing them.
I have to say that they do everything that the manufacturer advertises. The wetter it got, the better they gripped. This is really important as it means you don't have to grip the clubs too tightly and can maintain a normal grip without fear of losing the club or it turning in your hands.
My playing partners all struggled to keep dry grips and their efforts took away their concentration from the game. I on the otherhand just let my gloves and grips stay wet and focused on the shot in hand.
Because they are so light it means that you can also putt without taking them off. A quick squeeze of the hands every 2 or 3 holes removed any excess water and meant my hands didn't get too cold.
They are machine washable and don't lose their shape after washing.
I have previously tried the Footjoy wet weather gloves and they don't come come close to giving the same level of grip as the MacWets. They are also only supplied as single gloves.
The gloves retail at around £25 for a pair from Glenmuir but can be found cheaper on line if you search around.
A massive thumbs up for the MacWets. :thup:
