FootJoy RainGrip Golf Gloves (Pair)

The Short Version

The FootJoy RainGrip is the standard-issue rain glove of serious golf — the one tour players and club pros reach for when the sky opens up. The autosuede palm does something almost magical: it grips better wet than dry. Sold in pairs, because rain doesn't care which hand you favor.

Performance

Here's the thing that separates the RainGrip from every dry-weather glove pressed into rain duty: the autosuede knit palm is specifically engineered for wet conditions. Where leather gets slick and cotton gets sloppy, the RainGrip's palm conforms to your hand and the club, delivering a secure grip that actually improves as moisture increases. That's not marketing — it's the reason this is the best-selling rain glove in the game.

In humid summer conditions (not just rain), the difference is just as real. Sweaty palms that would slip inside a leather glove stay planted in RainGrips.

Comfort and Fit

The QuikDry II knit across the back of the hand breathes and dries fast, so your hands don't stew. The angled ComforTab closure locks the fit without pressure points. Fit runs snug like a proper golf glove should — like a second skin, no bunching in the palm. If you're between sizes, go up.

A removable ball marker on the closure tab is a small touch you'll use constantly.

Feel

Let's be honest: no rain glove feels like a premium leather dry glove. The RainGrip trades some of that buttery feel for all-weather security. The feel is consistent and predictable — you always know exactly how the club sits in your hands, wet or dry. For rain play, predictability beats luxury.

Value

Around $25 for the pair. That's less than a single premium leather glove, and these will save multiple rounds a year from becoming grip-slip disasters. They also double as humid-weather gloves, extending their use well beyond rainy days. Every serious golfer's bag should have a pair stashed in a dry pocket.

Who Should Buy It

Anyone who plays in rain, morning dew, or heavy humidity. If you've ever lost a club (or your nerve) on a wet downswing, these pay for themselves in one round. Dry-climate-only golfers can skip them — but at this price, they're cheap insurance.

Verdict

The RainGrip isn't the glove you dream about — it's the glove that saves your scorecard when conditions turn. Keep a pair in the bag, always. This is a research-based review.
