Skins Golf Gloves: The Reviews, the Awards and the Leather
Four seasons in, the scoreboard reads: 4.85 from over 1,000 reviews, an Editor's Choice badge from Golf Monthly, and features everywhere from Forbes to GQ.
This page is the receipts behind the question people type into Google before their first order: are Skins Golf gloves any good? Below are the numbers, what's under the artwork, and the honest bits a brand page usually leaves out.
The numbers
The glove range holds a 4.85 rating from more than 1,000 verified buyers, collected on-site through Judge.me rather than curated by us. Golf Monthly put its Editor's Choice badge on the range, and the brand has been featured by Forbes, GQ, golf.com and National Club Golfer. For a company that launched in February 2022 into a wall of identical white gloves, we'll take that scoreboard.
What's under the artwork
Every glove starts with AAA cabretta, the thin, soft sheepskin the tour brands reserve for their flagship gloves, with lycra flex zones between the fingers so the fit stays snug after the leather moulds to your hand. Mens and ladies cuts, wear on left and wear on right, sizes S to XL, £20.99 to £21.99. Fit decides how good any glove feels, and the two-minute test is in how a golf glove should fit.
The design half of the answer
The artwork is designed in London and released in limited runs: casino tables, Day of the Dead florals, sea monsters, and the quiet black editions. When a run sells out it stays sold out, which is why the first editions of our most collected designs now only exist in other golfers' bags. The whole philosophy is in designer golf gloves.
The honest bits
Cabretta is cabretta: expect 10 to 12 rounds of proper use, the same as any tour-brand flagship, with the countdown covered in how long a golf glove lasts. And it's not a rain glove; nobody's cabretta is, which is exactly why the comparison in leather vs synthetic tells you to keep a wet-weather pair for the storms. The multibuy (any 3 gloves for £54) exists so the rotation costs less than three separate opinions.
Skins Golf gloves FAQs
Are Skins Golf gloves legal for competitions?
Yes. The rules govern what a glove does, not what it looks like, and ours are standard-spec cabretta with no gripping aids. The artwork has no handicap.
What sizes and hands do they come in?
S to XL in mens and ladies cuts, wear on left for right-handed golfers, and a dedicated right hand golf gloves collection for the lefties. The glove size guide settles the size in two minutes.
How do they compare to the big-brand tour gloves?
Same grade of leather, same job, £20.99 against their £25-plus. The difference you're choosing is the artwork, and whether your glove is identifiable in a lost-property box.
