Callaway Women’s Rain Spann Golf Gloves (Pair)

Callaway’s women’s Rain Spann gloves come as a pair you wear on both hands, with a microfiber suede palm built to grip in the wettest conditions.

Why it made the list

Leather gloves and wet grips don’t mix. Once a leather glove soaks through, it slides on the club. Rain gloves work differently: you wear one on each hand, and the material holds onto the grip even when it’s soaked.

The Rain Spann is Callaway’s women’s rain glove, and it made our list because it’s an easy thing to keep in the bag for the days that turn. One pair can save a round.

What it does well

• The full palm is microfiber suede, which Callaway uses for its Opti Grip in wet weather.
• FUSETECH material combined with Opti Fit adds durability and flexibility so the gloves move with your hands.
• A stretch binding cuff gives a secure feel at the wrist and absorbs moisture.
• Wearing two gloves means both hands get the same hold on a wet grip.

Rain gloves feel a little different from leather the first time, and many golfers take a few swings to get used to having two gloves on. The payoff is that you can keep swinging normally when the grips are soaked, instead of choking down and squeezing.

Who it’s for

They’re for women who play in wet or damp weather, early morning dew, or cool conditions. If you live somewhere rainy, they’re close to a must have. They also make sense for golfers who play winter leagues or travel to courses where the weather changes fast, since the pair takes up almost no room in the bag.

Who should skip it

If you only play in dry, warm weather, a single leather glove will feel better. Some players also dislike the feel of two gloves on the putting green and take them off to putt.

How it compares

The Callaway Women’s Tour Authentic Golf Glove is the dry weather choice, with soft leather and better feel. It’s one glove, while the Rain Spann gives you two.

For cold rounds, pair these gloves with the OCOOPA UT3 Lite Rechargeable Hand Warmers (2-Pack) in your pockets between shots.

Good to know

Rain gloves work best when they’re wet, so don’t take them off just because they’re damp. Let them dry at room temperature after the round. The linked Walmart listing is black in medium, so check the size before you buy. Keep the pair in a zip pocket of your bag so it stays dry until you need it, and carry a towel for the grips.
