Feel like I'm massively out of touch, having been away from the game pretty much exclusively for the last 7 or 8 years. Used to use the Srixon leather gloves previously, but what should I be looking at these days?

I always use FootJoy Contour FLX as my leather glove. I find it fits me the best as I have quite small hands. Best bet is to try a few and find what fits you best.

Interesting ? Do they last a long time and are they really practical for all weathers? It also says they’re machine washable as well - have you tried it and do they come out as good as new?
I've had mine for years. Getting on foe 8 or 9 I think. Admittedly I haven't played regularly for some of them. But when I bought it I did.

It's still going strong. It works in all conditions and has been washed a few times.

Thank you for the further info ?? Are they a nice clean fit, and has it kept it’s shape for that long? I.e a nice and snug fit.

As a budget leather option I quite like the Rife branded gloves sold by AG.

At a higher price point I like the Titleist Sta-Sof glove.

Yes and yes.

I've always had problems with the way normal gloves crease up, stretch and wear out. These with the way the gloves are made with separate panels don't have that problem for me. Its kept ots shape and fit even after being wet or sweaty.

I'm a big fan of the inesis leather ones - really thin and soft. Used to use mizuno but would need to change after a few rounds and range sessions, but the inesis ones last many times longer

I know plenty will disagree about generic budget gloves, but I've been very happy with these over last couple of years. I wasn't expecting much when I first ordered them as an experiment
but I was surprised by the quality when they arrived. Can't see me going back to paying £10 - £15+ for a single glove

Maybe slightly thicker than the top brands but at just over £3 a glove what's not to like?

If you’re still into these, I recall buying a bulk of them and may have a few left mate
