What Srixon All Weather Golf Glove is made of, ingredients and materials
Srixon All Weather gloves use synthetic microfiber leather with a water-resistant coating system. Microfiber itself is inert polyester with no hazard of this kind on record, but 'All Weather' designation almost certainly indicates a water-repellent coating (water-repellent coating) treatment applied to the surface. This coating is the primary chemical exposure point during use and is most likely fluorocarbon-based (PFAS) or newer alternatives; Srixon has not disclosed which type they use.
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.
Water-repellent coating (water-repellent coating) treatment chemistry
All-weather designation strongly suggests fluorocarbon or polyurethane water-repellent coating. Srixon does not disclose whether this is legacy PFAS-based or PFAS-free alternatives. Direct skin contact risk is low if coating is intact; risk increases only if coating degrades or glove is chewed/ingested (not a realistic scenario).
What’s reassuring
Synthetic microfiber breakdown and microplastic shedding
Microfiber polyester does shed fine particles with wear, but golf gloves experience minimal mechanical abrasion in normal use. Shedding would be negligible compared to microfiber textiles with high friction (e.g., cleaning cloths). No published data on microfiber glove shedding rates or health impact.
Formaldehyde / VOCs
Synthetic microfiber requires less chemical finishing than natural leather, and formaldehyde-based resins are uncommon in modern water-repellent coating systems. No cases reported for golf gloves. Odor on new gloves, if present, is typically from adhesive or packaging, not formaldehyde.
Source, ATSDR ↗Heavy metals
Golf gloves are typically white or off-white with minimal colored accents; azo dyes and heavy-metal pigments (cadmium, lead) are not a standard concern in this product class. No recalls or testing data available for Srixon gloves.
Source, FDA ↗Adhesive or binding chemical residues
Microfiber gloves use heat-bonding or low-VOC adhesives, not solvent-based cements. Residual chemical exposure is negligible after normal air-drying. No odor complaints or contact dermatitis reports are on public record for this product.
The full breakdown
The brand's record and disclosure
Srixon (owned by Dunlop Sports) does not publicly disclose water-repellent chemistry or material certifications for apparel products. No recalls, safety controversies, or third-party certifications (OEKO-TEX, bluesign) are on record for this glove. The brand's silence on PFAS or water-repellent coating chemistry is consistent with most golf equipment manufacturers, which operate outside transparency-heavy sectors like fashion or footwear.
How it compares in its category
Golf gloves generally avoid the highest-risk textile hazards (azo dyes, flame retardants, heavy-metal pigments) because they are small, white or tan, and unregulated. This product sits in the middle of the concern spectrum, synthetic microfiber has lower concern than leather with unknown tanning chemicals, but the water-resistant coating adds uncertainty. Most competing all-weather gloves (Titleist, FootJoy, Callaway) also do not disclose water-repellent coating type.
If you buy it
Wash or wipe gloves with cool water only; do not machine wash or dry-clean, which can degrade the coating and potentially mobilize residual chemicals. Replace when the grip surface becomes shiny or slippery, typically after 2-4 seasons of use. Store in a cool, dry place away from heat sources. Hands-on exposure is low-risk because water-repellent coating coatings are tightly bound; ingestion risk is negligible.
