Skins : A Premium Woman’s Golf Glove
A few
months ago GolfTest USA attempted to begin a special test
and review for some of the popular golf gloves currently
on the market. Several of the most popular golf glove companies
indicated they would like be included. As it turned out
there were delays in getting the gloves from some of the
companies and we have had to delay completing the test and
review until early 2007.
Fairway
Skins is a relatively new company that specializes in premium
women’s gloves. Because we already received the golf
gloves from them we decided to go ahead and have 25 women
review the golf glove from Fairway Skins.
The
Fairway Skins golf gloves are made from premium Cabretta*
leather. They offer a unique glove with antique botanical
prints attractively placed on the back of the hand. The
following comments were taken from the Fairway Skins website.
“These
gloves will withstand full sun and heavy downpour. Their
elegant look sets them apart from all other gloves, appealing
to the casual as well as the more serious golfer. Our product
line consists of six floral golf gloves made of 100% Cabretta*
leather. Most of the designs are from the archives of the
Natural History Museum in London, with permission granted
for use. There is a small pearl ball marker to the left
of the tab and there is a bit of extra length at the wrist.
The sizes are small, medium, large and extra large. Right-handed
gloves are available in limited quantity. Our gloves are
designed to look fabulous, feel great and complement your
game.”
The
feedback we received from the women golfers who used the
Fairway Skins was very positive on all aspects of the glove.
All of the reviewers “loved” the quality and
softness of the leather. The beautiful floral designs really
added to the attractiveness of the glove and the women felt
they were a nice complement to their golf outfits.
They
also indicated that they were pleased with the durability
of the glove especially in light of the softness of the
glove. There were many comments about how well the glove
fit and the overall high quality. The design and style were
second to none. Now we must add that the price of the Fairway
Skins glove is also at a premium level but this glove fits
the old truism to a T. “You are never sorry when you
buy the best.”
One
problem was noted by several of the women in the test. They
felt they would have to have to buy at least 3 or 4 different
designs to coordinate with their golf outfits.
We
have awarded the Fairway Skins glove our"Seal of Excellence" so women golfers can feel confident that
if they purchase a Fairway Skins glove it will be of superior
quality, value and performance.
We want
to thank Fairway Skins for participating in our test and
review. For additional information go to www.fairwayskins.com.
