If one thing is guaranteed to wreck a scorecard in winter, it’s cold hands and wet grips. But the MacWet Winter Gloves from Glenmuir, one of Europe’s leading golf apparel brands, offer a fantastic way for the golfer to beat the worst of the weather.
The gloves are packed with performance technology, making them a genuine must-have accessory. A high-tech windproof and breathable insulating fabric keeps out the cold without compromising performance or feel. And the unique MacWet synthetic ‘all grip-no slip’ palm fabric has incredible moisture-wicking properties that guarantees professional grip in all conditions.
This superb weather-beating technology, combined with Glenmuir's signature performance finish and high quality manufacturing, means the MacWet Winter Gloves provide the ideal combination of comfort and performance. Durable, easy to wash up to 40° C and with a superior fit and an adjustable cuff strap for greater comfort and control, it’s easy to see why the gloves are a favourite with golfers.
Using both gloves helps golfers maintain a secure grip in the wet and protects both hands from biting wind, while just one glove can be used in the more conventional style if the golfer prefers. MacWet Winter Gloves are available in sizes from Ladies Small to Men’s XL and an easy to use size checker on the gloves’ new packaging helps golfers choose the correct size.
A snug fit is recommended to maximise the benefits of improved grip and to ensure the best contact between hand, glove and club. The gloves – which comply with R&A rules – stretch very slightly when worn initially, but then maintain a consistent fit. They can be hand or machine washed and retain their shape well when allowed to dry naturally.
Glenmuir is a brand right at the heart of golf. The company has been a preferred supplier to the European Ryder Cup team for 20 years and also has a close working relationship with the PGA, European Tour and is the official clothing supplier to the Golf Foundation.
MacWet Gloves first gained success as the perfect performance-grip glove for water skiers and horse riders offering comfort and enhanced grip in dry, humid or wet conditions. The all-purpose performance of the glove soon gained the attention of golfers, and so a specific golf glove was designed, with the assistance of leading players and coaches.
Keith Williams, PGA Master Professional and world-renowned golf coach, was instrumental in the glove’s development and Alison Nicholas MBE, US Open Champion and six times Solheim Cup player, also brought her wealth of experience to MacWet.
