How to Properly Care for Your Golf Gloves (and Make Them Last Longer)

At PUR3 Golf, we take pride in crafting premium Cabretta leather golf gloves designed for maximum feel, control, and comfort. But even the best gloves need proper care to stay in top shape.

Whether you're a weekend warrior or a scratch golfer, how you maintain your glove can directly affect its performance and lifespan. Follow our expert tips to extend the life of your glove—and get the most out of every round.

 


 

1. Rotate Your Gloves

If you're playing multiple rounds a week, always keep at least two gloves in rotation. This allows one glove to dry out completely between uses, preventing sweat buildup and premature wear.

 


 

2. Let It Air Dry—Always

Never shove your glove into your bag right after a round. Instead:

  • Gently flatten it out to its natural shape.

  • Let it air dry in a cool, shaded area (not direct sunlight or heat).

Heat can cause leather to dry out, stiffen, or crack—especially Cabretta leather.

 


 

3. Avoid Over-Gripping

Many golfers squeeze their clubs too hard, which wears down the glove’s palm faster. If you see stress spots or early signs of thinning, try relaxing your grip. A premium glove like PUR3 provides natural tackiness—trust it.

 


 

4. Store It Flat or on a Glove Hanger

Avoid crumpling your glove into a ball in your bag. Store it:

  • Flat inside your golf bag’s apparel pocket

  • Or use a glove hanger or magnetic clip for shape retention

This keeps the leather smooth and prevents hard wrinkles that can become cracks over time.

 


 

5. Spot-Clean with Care

If your glove gets dirty:

  • Wipe gently with a damp cloth

  • Avoid soaps or strong cleaners

  • Let it air dry naturally

Never put a leather glove in the washing machine—it will ruin the shape, fit, and material integrity.

 


 

6. Know When It’s Time to Upgrade

Even with perfect care, Cabretta leather is a natural material and will wear over time. If your glove feels loose, thin, or overly slick—it’s time to treat yourself to a new one.
And when you're ready, PUR3 is here with hand-selected, pro-grade Cabretta leather gloves in refined, timeless styles.

 


 

Final Thoughts: Treat Your Glove Like a Performance Tool

A golf glove isn't just an accessory—it's your connection to the club. Taking a few simple steps to care for it will reward you with more feel, better grip, and longer-lasting value.
