What Srixon Men's All Weather Golf Glove is made of, ingredients and materials
Srixon All Weather Golf Gloves combine leather (typically goat or cabretta leather for grip) with synthetic backing and a water-resistant surface treatment. The water-repellency is the critical component, most "all-weather" golf gloves use durable water-resistant (water-repellent coating) finishes, which historically relied on PFAS chemistry, though some manufacturers have shifted to non-PFAS alternatives. Srixon does not publicly disclose which water-repellent coating chemistry they use, leaving the PFAS status uncertain.
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
All-weather golf gloves almost universally use water-repellent coating treatments; Srixon provides no public disclosure of whether their formulation uses legacy PFAS chemistry or newer alternatives. Without brand confirmation, PFAS presence cannot be ruled out.
Source, ATSDR ↗Degradation of water-resistant coating over time
All water-repellent coating treatments degrade with washing and UV exposure. As the coating breaks down, the glove loses water repellency and may require replacement after 1-2 seasons. This is functional decline rather than toxicity risk, but affects product lifespan and value.
What’s reassuring
Azo dyes in synthetic or leather coloring
No recalls or reports of azo-dye toxicity specific to Srixon golf gloves. Leather tanning and synthetic dyeing can use azo compounds, but exposure risk through skin contact on a glove is minimal unless the product sheds dye visibly (not documented for this line).
Heavy metals
Leather tanning historically used chromium; modern tanneries use controlled processes. No specific contamination data is available for Srixon's leather sourcing. Chromium exposure through transient skin contact on a glove is considered negligible.
Source, FDA ↗Formaldehyde / VOCs
Golf gloves typically do not require formaldehyde-releasing resins; fabric backing and stitching adhesives in this product are not known to emit formaldehyde at concerning levels, but Srixon provides no materials specification sheet.
Source, ATSDR ↗The full breakdown
The brand's record and disclosure
Srixon (owned by Dunlop Sports) does not maintain published transparency regarding chemical treatments in apparel or use of PFAS/non-PFAS water-repellent coating finishes. No major product recalls or toxicity incidents are on record for this glove line. The brand has not pursued certifications like Oeko-Tex (which limits harmful chemicals) or GOTS for this product category, suggesting lower priority on chemical disclosure.
How it compares in its category
Golf gloves vary widely in water-repellent coating approach; premium brands (e.g., some Titleist lines, FootJoy synthetic options) increasingly market PFAS-free treatments or are transparent about chemistry. Mid-tier offerings like Srixon typically match industry baseline, which remains mixed, some use newer non-PFAS technologies, others retain traditional PFAS-based water-repellent coating. Without Srixon's disclosure, this glove cannot be distinguished from its peers on chemical grounds.
If you buy it
Wash the glove by hand with mild soap and lukewarm water before first use to remove any loose finish or dyes; air-dry away from direct heat or sunlight, which can degrade both leather and synthetic components. Inspect seams and leather surface monthly for cracking or loss of water resistance; replace when water no longer beads on the surface (typically 1-2 seasons of regular use). Store in a cool, dry place and avoid prolonged exposure to chlorine pools or harsh detergents, which accelerate coating breakdown.
