Women’s golf gloves should be chosen by the hand covered, exact model and how the glove fits while holding a club. The women’s category does not guarantee that every style has identical dimensions or materials. FootJoy’s UK range provides useful examples across WeatherSof, StaSof and weather-specific pairs. Start with a secure, comfortable fit, then choose the construction and conditions you need.

Choose the hand to be covered
A glove listing’s left or right selection refers to the hand the glove fits. It should not be confused with the golfer’s playing-hand description. Many golfers wear a single glove on the lead hand, but confirm the hand you intend to cover and select that exact variant. A paired product is a different purchase from a single glove.
Read the order summary before paying, especially where a selector changes the product reference. A photograph of one hand is not enough to confirm the selected variant. For a gift, obtain the existing glove’s actual hand, model and size rather than translating from the recipient’s handedness alone.
Use the exact model’s size choices
The checked WeatherSof Women page offers S, M, ML and L selections, with hand choices. Those are the options for that listed model; they are not a guarantee that every women’s glove uses the same sizing or that a similarly named men’s model will fit the same way. Check the specific page and chart before ordering.
Try the glove while holding a club, not only with an open hand. Look for a secure fit through the palm and fingers without uncomfortable pulling. Pay attention to spare material at the fingertips and how the fastening closes. If two sizes behave differently in different areas, another model may fit better than forcing the nearest label.
Compare materials through actual use
FootJoy describes WeatherSof Women using FiberSof, MicroTac and PowerNet materials. The StaSof Women model instead uses APL leather alongside mesh and perforations. These are documented construction differences, not independent durability or performance rankings from this guide.
Consider what you value during a round: the feel at the handle, how easily the glove moves with the hand and the care you are willing to give it. Where possible, try both models in the appropriate size. A preference for leather or synthetic construction should still be checked against the fit of the actual glove.
Treat rain and winter pairs as separate equipment
The FootJoy women’s range lists RainGrip and WinterSof pairs separately from ordinary single gloves. Choose the product intended for the conditions you need and verify that the listing is the women’s pair. Do not assume that a men’s wet-weather product linked elsewhere is an exact substitute for the women’s model.
Try both gloves together if that is how they will be used. Check your normal grip and practical tasks such as handling tees or opening a bag pocket. Weather-specific equipment can feel different from a familiar single glove, so it is useful to assess that before relying on it during an important round.
Check returns before removing labels
Online sizing can still require a trial even when the chart is clear. Read the retailer’s return conditions and try the glove in the permitted way before using it on the course. Keep the packaging and model details until you know the fit works. A size that was successful in an older model is a useful reference, not an unconditional guarantee for a different construction.
For a replacement, inspect why the current glove is being retired. Wear, an uncomfortable fit and a changed hand size are different reasons to reconsider the model. Follow the maker’s care guidance and let the glove dry as instructed rather than assuming every material should be treated identically.
Record a successful combination
Once you find a suitable glove, keep the full model, hand and size together. That makes future comparisons and gifts easier and prevents ordering only by colour or a familiar brand name. Choose the women’s golf glove that fits your hand in the intended conditions, with the material and pair configuration confirmed in the actual order.
