Having a glove that not only fits right but feels extremely comfortable to wear when on the golf course is of utmost importance given it’s what connects your clubs to your hands during the golf swing. FootJoy is definitely viewed as one of the industry leaders when it comes to golf gloves and the FootJoy Pure Touch golf glove is the brand's top-tier offering, sitting just above the impressive StaSof golf glove.

The FootJoy Pure Touch Limited glove is made out of the finest Cabretta leather which is what gives it its silk-like feel. While the thin leather used on this glove may deteriorate slightly quicker than some of the other best FootJoy gloves, the feel when you slide it on your hand for the first time is exceptional. The durability is somewhat enhanced by using proprietary leather preparation techniques. The tailored construction and moisture wicking elastics help with managing perspiration and therefore making this glove last longer than other gloves we have tried in similar conditions.

While this glove does deal well with moisture management, I could see how it could deteriorate quite quickly on wetter days and so having one of the best golf rain gloves handy in your bag would be advised in case inclement weather were to roll in.

While I often have to try on multiple gloves as the sizing fluctuates a good amount even with some of the best golf gloves, that was not an issue with the Pure Touch Limited. All three gloves in my order fitted perfectly and slid on my hand as if it were just another layer of skin. I think that speaks volumes about the quality control that takes place during the manufacturing process and why it’s the choice of many of the game's best players, including current world number 5 Wyndham Clark.

While this glove does retail at a premium price point of $38/£26 there is very little that comes close to it in regards to feel and performance. The simple white leather with white stitching and black FootJoy logo really give this glove a premium and stripped back aesthetic that I think golfing traditionalists will love and the velcro enclosed packaging just adds even more class to a high quality product.
