Macwets

[trevor]

With the winter and wetter weather coming I am thinking of getting a pair of Macwet gloves as everybody on here seems to like them. Their website has 4 different varieties, just wondering if they are all suitable for playing golf. Also do they keep your hands dry or are they the type that get wet inside and out? And lastly can you take them off easily for putting or do you keep them on for the full game?

I have the micromesh short cuff for summer and the climatech long cuff for winter. They do get wet all the way through. I leave mine on for putting but don't take a glove off anyway when I putt.

Micro mesh all year, in down popes just squeeze your fist to get rid of excess, once on they stay on until it stops raining!

Thanks, will get round to ordering a pair soon.

Just bare in mind they come up slightly big, I'm a medium/large in footjoys, but a medium in the macwets

soak them before you wear them ,they are useless if they are dry.

I tend to wipe mine on the damp grass once it starts raining

I've been on about getting a pair for ages. My pro has started stocking so I can at least try them on before I buy now. I bought a pair of the footjoy ones last year that did ok.

I do the same but also wipe them on my damp waterproofs. I've used Nicklaus Golden Bear Rain Grip that work just as well.

Wet waterproofs, wet bag, wet brolley, grass as a last option but they do need to be kept wet

Mac wets are fantastic.

But, as they need to be wet by design, and it generally equates to the weather not being great.....hands can be like a block of ice after a few holes.

As for marking the card with them on.............!! Paper mâché (sp)

They are a good glove no doubt but I cant putt with a glove on and as these get so wet and as they get stuck to your hands they are no good for me.

I think that they grip ok when dry too. Not that I'd wear them if it were dry but I don't worry about wetting them before playing a shot.

I've also found that although your hands get really cold to start with as the gloves get soaked through, after a while they seem to act like insulation and I don't feel the cold too much.

They give me very cold hands, so I'd rather not bother.

 

[Oddsocks]

Awwwww you poor delicate flowers :rofl:

 

[patricks148]

i was unimpressed with them TBH, i didn't find them any more grippy than any other glove or even bare hands.

Plus when your hands are soaking wet they get cold... not great in winter

 

[chellie]

The climatech one keep my hands warm even when the gloves are wet through.

They are very good in sudden heavy downpours, when you need to keep a grip.

For very cold, rainy, winter weather, I would rather my hand was wrapped around a warm coffee mug in the bar.
