FootJoy Men's WeatherSof 2-Pack Golf Glove: An Honest Review for Everyday Golfers

I have a confession to make. For years I bought golf gloves the way I bought lottery tickets, on a whim, at the counter, whatever was hanging closest to the register. It took me until this season to actually pay attention to what I was putting on my left hand, and the reason was embarrassingly simple: I got tired of throwing gloves away after six rounds. So when I decided to test the FootJoy WeatherSof 2-Pack properly, I told myself I would keep notes, track the rounds, and write down everything that annoyed me. Six months later, here is the honest version, including the parts the product page does not mention.

A quick word about who I am, so you can calibrate the rest of this. I am Gene, 58, a retired HVAC contractor who plays to about a 14 handicap. I walk nine holes twice a week at my local public course, play an 18-hole Saturday round with the same three buddies, and hit the driving range about ten minutes from home whenever the weather cooperates. I am not a gear snob and I am not a brand loyalist. I just want a glove that stays put, breathes, and does not fall apart in my bag. The FootJoy WeatherSof 2-Pack had to earn its place in my push cart, and honestly, it mostly did.

How I Tested the FootJoy WeatherSof 2-Pack

I did not test this glove in a lab, because I do not have a lab. I tested it the way most of you will use it. From late April through early October, I wore the FootJoy WeatherSof for 34 full rounds, 11 range sessions, and countless practice swings in my garage. That includes a stretch of 90-degree July rounds where I was sweating through my shirt by the third hole, and a few damp mornings where the grass was still wet when I teed off.

I kept the second glove in the plastic sleeve in my bag for the first month, the way the packaging suggests, then rotated both gloves for the rest of the season. I did not baby them. They sat in my bag between rounds, got stuffed in my back pocket on hot days, and went through the wash once by accident when I left one in a rain jacket pocket. That accident actually told me something useful about how the material holds up.

My scoring criteria were simple: fit out of the package, feel at address, breathability in heat, grip in humid conditions, and how the glove looked after 10, 20, and 30 rounds. I also tracked something nobody talks about, whether the two gloves in the pack actually feel the same. That last one turned out to be the most interesting part of the whole test.

One round that stands out came on the second Saturday in July. The temperature hit 94 degrees by noon, and we were playing our usual 18. By the turn I had already gone through one glove, not because it failed, but because my hands were so wet that I swapped in the spare from the pack just to have a dry option. That was the moment the 2-pack made sense to me. A single glove purchase would have left me playing the back nine with a soggy piece of leather. Instead I finished the round with a glove that felt as dry as it did on the first tee. It is not a dramatic story, but it is exactly the situation a lot of weekend golfers find themselves in.

What Nobody Tells You About the 2-Pack

Here is the thing that surprised me most. The two gloves in the FootJoy WeatherSof 2-Pack are not just two of the same glove. They are two gloves that are supposed to be identical, and in my experience, they actually are. That sounds like a small thing, but if you have ever bought a multi-pack of gloves from a discount bin, you know it is not. I have owned 2-packs where one glove fit like a medium and the other fit like a large, same label, same package, completely different feel.

With the FootJoy WeatherSof, both gloves broke in the same way, stretched the same amount, and stayed usable for roughly the same number of rounds. That consistency is the real value of the 2-pack. You are not paying for a backup that feels like a stranger. You are paying for a spare that you will actually want to use when the first one gets soaked on a humid morning.

I can tell you exactly why that consistency surprised me, because I have lived the alternative. A few years back I bought a clearance 2-pack of a different brand at a big-box store, the kind of thing you grab on impulse at the register. The first glove fit fine. The second one was cut differently, looser across the knuckles, with a seam that pressed into my index finger on every swing. I wore it twice and then it sat in my bag until I finally threw it out. That experience taught me to treat multi-packs with suspicion. So when both WeatherSof gloves came out of the package feeling like the same glove, I actually measured the palms against each other. They matched. Same width across the palm, same length through the fingers, same amount of stretch in the closure. That is the detail a product page cannot show you.

The other thing nobody tells you is that the second glove will probably last longer than the first. Because I rotated them, both gloves made it through the season. The first glove I opened is still in my bag right now, a little worn on the palm but perfectly usable. If you are the kind of golfer who wears one glove until it disintegrates, the 2-pack will feel like it lasts twice as long, because it does.

The real value of the FootJoy WeatherSof 2-Pack is consistency: two gloves that fit the same, break in the same, and last the same. That is rarer than it should be.

Fit and Sizing: Read This Before You Order

Let me save you a return trip. The FootJoy WeatherSof runs slightly generous. I wear a large in most glove brands, and the large in this glove fits me well, but if you are between sizes, I would size down. One of my buddies, who wears a medium in another popular brand, ordered a medium and found it loose across the palm. He exchanged it for a small and says it fits like it was made for him.

The closure is a standard hook-and-loop tab, and it gives you a good range of adjustment. I have average-size hands with slightly thick fingers from years of turning wrenches, and I never felt like the glove was squeezing my knuckles or bunching in the palm. The material has a little stretch to it, which helps it hug the back of your hand without feeling restrictive.

One honest warning: the glove stretches a bit over the first few rounds. That is normal, and it is actually why the slightly snug out-of-the-box fit is the right call. If you buy the size that feels perfect on day one, it will feel baggy by round five. Buy the size that feels almost too snug, and you will get a glove that fits right for months.

Comfort and Feel Through a Full Round

The WeatherSof is a cabretta leather glove, and it feels like it from the first swing. It is soft, supple, and thin enough that you can feel the grip of the club through it. I play with a mid-size grip on my irons, and with this glove I never felt like I was losing feedback through my left hand. That matters to me more than any other feature, because I am a feel player, not a bomber.

Breathability is where the FootJoy WeatherSof surprised me. I expected a leather glove to get hot and clammy in the July heat, and it did get warm, but it never got swampy. The perforations on the back of the hand and between the fingers let enough air through that I was not constantly pulling the glove off between shots. On the hottest days I still took it off to wipe my hand, but that is true of every glove I have ever worn.

There was one round in late September that convinced me the feel is not just marketing. The course was damp from overnight rain, and my group played through a light mist for the first six holes. My hands were never fully dry that morning, yet I hit my best iron shots of the day with the WeatherSof on. I am not saying the glove made me hit those shots, and I do not want you to think a glove can fix a swing. But I can tell you that I never once adjusted my grip because the glove was bunching or slipping. That quiet, forgettable reliability is the thing I value most after a season of wearing it. A glove that you never think about is doing its job.

The grip in humid conditions is the one area where I have to be honest about a limitation. No leather glove is going to give you the same tackiness when your hands are dripping as it does when they are dry. The WeatherSof is better than average in this regard, but on the most humid mornings I still reached for a towel more often than I would have liked. If you play in a climate where every round is a sauna, you might want a glove with a synthetic palm for the worst months.

Durability: How Long Did It Actually Last?

Here is where I have to be straight with you, because this is the part the marketing does not mention. The FootJoy WeatherSof is not the most durable glove I have ever owned. The palm started to show wear around round 15, and by round 25 there was a noticeable smooth spot where the club grip sits. That sounds bad, but here is the context: 25 rounds is a lot of golf for a glove that costs what this one costs, especially when you remember you have a second one in the pack.

The stitching held up better than I expected. I have had gloves where the seam along the thumb split open after a dozen rounds, and that did not happen here. The hook-and-loop closure also stayed strong, which is another thing that fails early on cheap gloves. After six months of constant opening and closing, the tab still holds firmly.

The wear pattern is worth describing, because it tells you what to expect. Around round 20, the smooth spot on the palm started to look shiny, like polished leather. By round 30, the spot had spread to about the size of a silver dollar, but the material never thinned to the point where I could feel the club grip through it. The tear that usually ends a glove, the little split where the thumb meets the palm, never appeared. I replaced the first glove at the start of October, not because it was unusable, but because I wanted to start the next season fresh. The second glove from the pack is still going strong. That is the honest math of the 2-pack: one purchase carried me through a full season of weekly golf.

The one durability issue I did hit was my own fault. I left a glove in the pocket of a rain jacket and it went through the washing machine. It came out clean but slightly stiff, and it never quite regained its original softness. That is not a knock on the glove, but it is a warning: do not wash this glove. If it gets wet, let it air dry away from direct heat.

Who This Is For

The FootJoy WeatherSof 2-Pack is for the golfer who plays once or twice a week, wants a glove that feels like a premium glove without the premium price, and hates the feeling of buying a single glove that wears out in a month. It is for the weekend player who wants a consistent fit every time they reach into the bag. It is for the league golfer who plays in the heat, the cold, and the damp, and needs one glove that works in all of it. If that sounds like you, this is probably the best value in the golf glove aisle right now.

Who Should Skip It

If you play three or more times a week, or if you practice on the range for hours every day, you will wear through the WeatherSof faster than you would like. In that case, a higher-end cabretta glove with reinforced palm panels is worth the extra money, because the durability difference will show up in a month, not a season. And if you play in a climate where your hands are constantly wet, or if you have a death grip that shreds gloves in a few rounds, you may be better served by a synthetic glove that shrugs off moisture and abuse.
