British golfer Aaron Rai, a two time European tour winner, loves MacWet gloves so much he wears a pair every time he plays, no matter what the weather. If you want proof of how good they are when it rains, just check out the footage of his victory at 2020’s Scottish Open where Storm Alex produced some of the worst conditions we’ve ever seen!
They’re our waterproof golf glove of choice with a pair living in the bag all year and worn for every round throughout the winter months. Not only are they fully waterproof and breathable, they give you unrivalled grip when it rains, gripping more the wetter they get.
They’re also incredibly durable. We’ve used ours across two seasons and, because they’re machine washable, they still look fantastic.
The MacWet Aquatec can be worn all year-round – just wear one glove in normal to dry and humid conditions and wear the pair when it’s wet or damp.
In use, MacWet gloves dry naturally within five-10 minutes, keeping performance consistent without the need to change gloves. There’s also an impressive choice of sizes, from XS (6.5cm acrossthe four finger knuckles of your hand) to XXL (10.5cm). For us, this is the ultimate wet weather golf glove.

A technical microfiber material means the Rain Control give up to 40% more grip than a traditional glove in wet conditions.
Numbers like that make us think it’s always worth having a pair tucked in your bag for whenever the heavens open. They dry impressively quickly and, from our experience, the nylon fabric is extremely durable.
They’re also one of the best fitting and feeling gloves that we’ve tried thanks to the ultra-thin microfibre suede. Assuming you look after them then it’ll be £26.99 well spent on one of the best golf rain gloves out there.

StormGrip suede in the palm provides maximum grip in wet conditions, while the tailored lightweight mesh cuff provides an optimal fit and feel. We particularly like that Cobra has made the index finger touch screen compatible, making it an ideal choice for those of us who use apps, a GPS device or watch around the course.
The DWR coating, a special moisture membrane, helps keep hands dry.

Never heard of them? No, neither had we until recently. We spotted the Jeantet Sport on Amazon, where they have a 4.5/5 rating from 265 reviews, and ordered a pack to find out if they can compete with the bigger brands. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality and performance, especially when you consider that they’re less than £5.50 per glove.
They fit very well and the moisture-wicking material is breathable, flexible and lightweight. We first wore ours on a warm but rainy summer’s day where they provided excellent grip, even when our hand was hot and the rain was falling pretty heavily. Based on the few rounds we used ours for we wouldn’t expect each glove to last as long as a more premium model, but with three gloves for £15.99 that isn’t really a major problem.
They’re also available in pairs (black, white, grey, green, blue) for £11.99.

And if your hands feel the cold

If you want to stick with a brand name, lighter legends Zippo make a cracking model. The 9s will not only keep your hands warm, it will also recharge your phone if you happen to run out of juice – a really useful option after spending several hours on the golf course. Expect six heat settings and a nine-hour run time.
