What Srixon Women's All Weather Golf Glove is made of, ingredients and materials
The Srixon Women's All Weather glove combines a leather palm (typically sheepskin or goat leather in golf gloves) with a synthetic back, likely polyester or nylon blend. The water-resistant treatment applied to maintain grip in wet conditions is the material of concern, Srixon does not publicly disclose whether this uses PFAS-based water-repellent coating (water-repellent coating) finishes or fluorine-free alternatives. Leather itself carries minimal direct toxicity risk when tanned conventionally, but the coating's composition and persistence through washing are unknown.
What’s concerning
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
Waterproof / stain-resistant treatment
Water-repellent coating treatments have historically used PFAS.
PFAS
Srixon does not disclose whether the water-repellent coating finish uses fluorinated PFAS or fluorine-free chemistry. Given the brand's silence and the prevalence of PFAS in golf apparel treatments, PFAS exposure is plausible but unconfirmed. Hand contact during use and washing are the primary exposure routes.
Source, ATSDR ↗Coating degradation and microplastic shedding
Repeated washing and flexing during use may cause the water-resistant coating and synthetic fibers to break down incrementally. No data on microplastic shedding from golf gloves specifically exists, but synthetic textiles under mechanical stress are a known source. The extent and health significance for this product are unknown.
What’s reassuring
Formaldehyde / VOCs
No recalls or reports of formaldehyde contamination in Srixon golf gloves exist. Leather and synthetic textiles may retain trace residues from manufacturing, but golf glove leather is typically tanned to commercial standards with formaldehyde levels well below regulatory thresholds in most regions.
Source, ATSDR ↗Azo dyes in synthetic back material
The synthetic back fabric may contain azo dyes, which are standard in polyester and nylon textile coloring. No product-specific warnings or recalls exist for Srixon gloves. Regulatory restrictions on restricted azo dyes (those cleaving to carcinogenic amines) are enforced in most major markets, but full composition is not disclosed.
Skin sensitization from treated materials
No allergic reaction reports or contact dermatitis cases linked to this product are on record. Leather palm gloves are generally well tolerated. Risk would be highest in individuals with known sensitivities to leather dyes, synthetic fibers, or textile finishes.
The full breakdown
The brand's record and disclosure
Srixon (owned by Dunlop Sports) does not maintain public transparency about PFAS use or chemical composition in apparel products. No specific recalls or chemical controversies are on record for this glove model. The brand has not published sustainability reports or chemical disclosure policies comparable to outdoor or athletic companies with formal PFAS phase-out commitments. This silence does not indicate hazard, but limits your ability to verify the water-resistant treatment.
How it compares in its category
Most golf gloves use similar leather-synthetic hybrid construction and water-resistant treatments. Competitors like Callaway and TaylorMade also do not publicly disclose PFAS use in gloves. Golf gloves as a category carry lower chemical exposure risk than, for example, water-resistant jackets or footwear, because contact is hand-only and duration is brief (typically 4 hours per use). The Srixon sits in the mainstream for the sport with no known differentiating hazard profile.
If you buy it
Wash the glove in cool water with mild detergent after use to extend the water-resistant coating and remove sweat buildup; heat and harsh soaps degrade synthetic fibers. Do not machine dry; air dry flat or on a glove tree to preserve shape and coating integrity. Replace when the leather palm shows visible wear or loss of grip, typically after 1-3 seasons of regular use depending on frequency. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to slow material degradation.
