Hot and humid days can be hard on any golf glove. There are a few directions you can take when choosing a glove for hot and humid days. I play FootJoy gloves because the leather is thicker. Titleist gloves give you more feel and many players prefer to have that feel. My personal recommendations are as follows, and this is based on experience in the lowcountry of SC where the most of the summer we play in triple digit heat index (temperature and humidity) and pop up rain showers. June thru August is a beast down this way. Actually called it a day today after nine holes. Too many lightening strikes and the heat was just too much for me. 1, FJ Men's Tropicool is an excellent glove for this weather. Unmatched gripping power in all weather conditions. Lightweight comfort, maximum breathability and quick drying advantage. This material does get dirty easily but I have thrown them in the washing machine, after spraying a little Shout on the dirty areas and the come out clean. Wash them in cold water and remember NOT TO PUT THEM IN A DRYER. Lay them on a towel to dry. MAP $17 2. When it is unbearable. FJ Raingrip gloves. Know they come in a pair, but I only use one glove. But they are the best. As they get wet, they grip better. They are designed to rainy conditions, so they work extremely in the worst humid days. MAP $25 3. Normal hot days, I wear FJ StaSof gloves. I always wear a glove and never take one off. They do get a bit damp but do hold up for me and I do perspire, as some big guys do, 6'2", 256 lbs, 79 yrs old. Some change gloves during a round. I choose not to. A great glove. MAP $27 4. FJ Weather Grip seems to be a favorite by some who want an inexpensive glove. It is an ok glove but does not last very long and it becomes stiff. I have used it and cannot recommend it over the above mentioned for quality and performance. MAP $13 / 2 pack $23 Nos. 1 and 2 perform the best in humid and wet conditions, based on years of playing golf in this area. The raingrip being the best and will last the longest. Hope this helps answer your question.
