The ifrothgolf review
The FootJoy WeatherSof is the default all-rounder glove, a mostly synthetic (FiberSof) build with leather patches on the thumb and palm, aimed at anyone who wants a grippy, sweat-proof glove that lasts without paying leather money.
What's great
This is the one I reach for on hot, sweaty rounds and it just works. The synthetic shell shrugs off moisture and stays grippy when a full-leather glove would go slick and crispy, and it genuinely outlasts cabretta, often by a fair margin. The leather patches on the thumb and palm give you proper hold where it counts, the all-weather versatility is the real selling point, and as a multi-pack it is daft value. Reviewers and owners back this up, it is the world's biggest-selling glove for good reason.
Worth knowing
It is not for purists, the feel through the fingertips isn't as pure as a full-leather glove like the StaSof and you will notice if that's your thing. Two real gripes from owners, not nitpicks: sizing runs small, so size up if you're between, and there's a genuine batch-quality wobble where the top layer can start peeling around the fingers after only a few rounds, with some saying recent gloves feel thinner and stretch out of fit faster than the ones from a few years back. Quality control feels like a lottery.
The verdict
I rate it as the smart everyday and wet-weather pick, buy the multi-pack, size up, and rotate them. Just don't expect buttery leather feel, and accept the odd dud.
What reviewers say
Reviewers love the durability, comfort and price, calling it the go-to all-rounder. Limitation: the synthetic body sacrifices some of the soft, second-skin feel of a pure-leather glove.
