What Ua All Weather Golf Glove 6001271 is made of, ingredients and materials
This glove uses synthetic leather or polyurethane with a water-repellent coating (water-repellent coating) finish. water-repellent coating coatings on textiles have historically relied on PFAS chemistry, though some manufacturers have shifted to fluorine-free alternatives. The polyurethane substrate itself is not inherently hazardous but can degrade over time with heat and UV exposure, potentially releasing volatile organic compounds. The specific water-repellent coating formulation for this glove is not publicly disclosed by Under Armour.
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
Water-repellent finishes on synthetic textiles commonly use PFAS-based chemistry. Under Armour's silence on ingredient disclosure and the glove's water-resistance claim suggest potential PFAS presence, though not confirmed for this specific model.
Source, ATSDR ↗Polyurethane degradation and off-gassing
Synthetic leather polyurethane can break down under heat, humidity, or UV exposure, releasing volatile organic compounds. Golf gloves experience moisture and sun exposure regularly, accelerating this process over months of use.
Skin irritation from undisclosed additives
Direct skin contact with glove lining could expose users to residual dyes, finish chemicals, or adhesive residues. No adverse event reports are on record, but lack of ingredient transparency prevents full risk assessment.
What’s reassuring
Azo dyes in synthetic leather
No specific recalls or testing data exist for azo dyes in this glove. Synthetic leather manufacturers vary in dye safety; Under Armour does not publicly disclose dye sourcing for apparel.
Formaldehyde / VOCs
Some synthetic leather and polyurethane adhesives may contain formaldehyde-based resins, though modern manufacturing often avoids them. No public testing or disclosure from Under Armour on this product indicates whether formaldehyde resins are used.

The brand's record and disclosure
Under Armour has not published detailed PFAS policies or third-party certifications for apparel lines as of available public records. The brand does not list chemical composition or coating ingredients for this specific glove. No major recalls or safety violations tied to this model are on record. Without transparency on water-repellent coating chemistry, the water-resistance benefit cannot be verified as PFAS-free.
How it compares in its category
Most golf gloves in the market use synthetic leather with water-resistant treatments; this is standard practice. Competitors like Callaway and Titleist also lack public PFAS disclosures for similar products. Premium brands (e.g., Cabretta leather gloves) offer natural leather alternatives but without water-resistance and require more maintenance. This glove sits in the mid-tier synthetic category where water-repellent coating chemistry remains largely opaque across the industry.
If you buy it
Wash by hand in cool water with mild soap; avoid hot water or machine drying, which can accelerate polyurethane breakdown. Do not expose to prolonged UV or heat sources. Replace when the grip surface shows visible wear or becomes slippery. If PFAS exposure is a personal concern, contact Under Armour directly to request water-repellent coating formulation data before purchase; silence on this question is itself a risk signal.
