The ifrothgolf review
Srixon's everyday workhorse glove that blends a synthetic leather shell with stretch knit panels and a cabretta leather palm patch. The idea is to give you most of the grip you get from a leather glove while standing up better to moisture and repeated rounds, which is exactly what UK weather demands.
What's great
It holds its grip far better than a pure leather glove once things get damp, so it is genuinely useful through autumn and winter rather than just a summer fair-weather piece. The knit inserts mean it flexes with your hand and breathes well, the contoured fit is snug out of the packet, and at around 11 pounds it is cheap enough to keep a spare in the bag. Durability is the real win here, it shrugs off the wear that shreds soft leather gloves.
Worth knowing
This is not a full premium leather glove and it does not feel like one. The synthetic palm has a slightly firmer, less tacky hand feel that purists will notice immediately, and in a heavy downpour it manages moisture rather than defeating it, so it is no substitute for a dedicated pair of rain gloves. Sizing runs on the snug side, so if you are between sizes consider going up, and the synthetic shell can feel warm on genuinely hot days. Choice is limited too, white only and no full left hand range.
The verdict
A sensible, honest value pick. Buy it as your damp and cool weather grip glove or a durable everyday option, not as a luxury leather replacement. For the money it does the job most of the year and lasts longer than the soft alternatives.
