What Srixon 2021 All Weather Golf Glove is made of, ingredients and materials
This glove is constructed from synthetic leather or polyurethane, not animal hide, which avoids tanning chemical residues but introduces polymer stability concerns. The water-repellent finish is the critical unknown, such treatments typically rely on fluorinated compounds (PFAS-family chemicals) to achieve durable water-shedding on fabric, though non-fluorinated alternatives exist. Polyurethane itself is stable during normal wear, but degradation over years can release breakdown products, and the coating's durability determines how long protection lasts before re-treatment or disposal becomes necessary.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Waterproof / stain-resistant treatment
Water-repellent coating treatments have historically used PFAS.
PFAS
Srixon does not disclose whether the water-resistant finish uses PFAS or PFAS-free alternatives. Polyurethane synthetic leather is commonly treated with fluorinated compounds for durability; this product provides no confirmation of lower concern chemistry.
Source, ATSDR ↗What’s reassuring
Polyurethane degradation and off-gassing
No reported cases of harmful VOC release from Srixon golf gloves during normal use. However, polyurethane coatings can degrade over years, especially with sweat, heat, and UV exposure; degradation products are not characterized for this specific glove.
Azo dyes and colorant safety
Srixon does not publish dye or pigment source data. Synthetic leather gloves typically use azo or other synthetic dyes; no restrictions on restricted azo compounds have been reported for this brand, but certification data is unavailable.
Heavy metals
No recalls or safety alerts exist for lead, cadmium, or other heavy metals in Srixon gloves. Synthetic leather pigments and polyurethane binders are not typically high-risk sources, but brand testing records are not public.
Source, FDA ↗Skin sensitization from residual chemicals
No documented cases of dermatitis or allergic reactions linked to this glove model. However, residual solvents, uncrosslinked polyurethane oligomers, or dye impurities can theoretically irritate sensitive skin; pre-wearing hand-washing may reduce risk.
The full breakdown
The brand's record and disclosure
Srixon (owned by Dunlop Sports) does not publicly disclose water-repellent chemistry or provide third-party certifications (e.g., OEKO-TEX, bluesign) for its gloves. The company has no known statements acknowledging PFAS use, substitution strategies, or phase-out commitments in apparel. Industry-wide, golf equipment makers lag behind outdoor clothing brands in transparency; Srixon's silence mirrors this pattern and limits consumer ability to verify PFAS-related formulation details.
How it compares in its category
Golf gloves occupy a niche with fewer safety standards than general apparel. Most competitors (Callaway, TaylorMade, Titleist) similarly decline to disclose water-repellent treatment chemistry. Synthetic leather gloves dominate the market; leather alternatives exist but are more expensive and less durable in wet conditions. This product sits at the mainstream center, no worse than competitors, but no transparency advantage either.
If you buy it
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat or sunlight to slow polyurethane degradation. Rinse with cool water after salt-water use (coast play) to reduce corrosive stress on coatings. Replace when grip texture flattens or seams separate, typically after 1-2 seasons of regular play. Avoid machine washing or high heat drying, which accelerate coating failure and can release volatile compounds; hand wash with mild soap and air dry instead.
