Popular Post ajlacombe Posted March 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2023 I recently saw a review of the Red Rooster Rain Rooster glove and it sounded awesome. I decided to go and check it out and most like.y order it. This is the funniest part of this review - I did not order the Rain Roster because they did not have my size (Medium/Large). There are no Cadet sizes in the Rain Rooster either. I wear a Cadet Medium/Large and have forever struggled with getting gloves to fit in all areas. My issue is the pinkie finger - either I have a terribly short pinkie finger or most gloves have one that is too long. Even after finding out that they did not have what I was originally looking for, I started investigating things on their site. I had picked out some stuff and had some issues with my order and was going to just bag things and forget about Red Rooster, but I decided to send an email in with my issues and I get a response back from one of the owners, Kerry Moher, and he convinced me to go ahead and place my order. I ordered 4 gloves and the Glove Compartment. The gloves ordered were: The Saddle - black The Scots Silver The Whiteoout The Freeze I am reviewing the first two since I have not had time to use the last two. I prefer dark colored gloves because white ones tend to look pretty bad just a few rounds into their lives. Let me start with the Glove Compartment (GC). I am not sure about you but in the summer months when it is hot, I tend to rotate 2-3 gloves during a round so that I maintain a dry grip and am not damaging them by playing a wet glove. The GC has two velcro circles where you can attach gloves. I only use about a third of a circle per glove since I do not want to struggle getting them off. I use the circles when i am not using the glove and it has an iron grip so that is a huge help IMO. The GC is also a storage area as well. There is a nice carabineer to attach it to your bag. /Users/ajlacombe/Downloads/IMG_7227D.jpeg The GC unzips to access the inside. Right now I am just storing the two gloves in there but I think 4 would be better so they do not slide down much. /Users/ajlacombe/Downloads/IMG_7228D.jpeg Here you can see the glove attached to the velcro circle. I think I could easily hang 4 of them on there if I wanted to. /Users/ajlacombe/Downloads/IMG_7230D.jpeg I am always amazed at how fat hands look in pictures So how do these things fit. Well, they fit so well, this led to a problem for me. How in the hell do I get the thing off - I am not kidding. I get to the first green to putt and go to take the glove off, and I can not get a hold of the tips of the fingers to get them off. I took a few holes to break them in and make it possible to pinch the finger tips and get the glove off. I have used both of the gloves for 4-5 rounds each. I think most people wear gloves that a too loose - I wear them fairly tight - then the do not wear as much and provide a better grip. You can see on the first glove there is hardly any wear after 4 rounds of play and you can tell that it is starting to form itself to my hand and you can see the pinkie finger is super well fitting - like they used my hand as the source to make the glove. There is also a logo on the bottom of the cuff that serves as a pull tab and it is perfect as well. The gloves are not inexpensive nor are they expensive - you can visit their website here. The whole experience so far has been awesome for me and I am looking forward to testing out the rest of the gloves I bought and other models once these guys wear out. I have provided images of the black glove below, as well. I hate sounding like a shill with an overly positive review, but these gloves and the GC have met or exceeded my expectations in all areas. There was one thing that caught me off guard at first and that was the lack of a glove case - they come in a thin cellophane bag of sorts, but since I have the GC, I have no use for a case (plastic container most gloves come in). If you give them a shot, I think you will be very happy with the effort. /Users/ajlacombe/Downloads/IMG_7232D.jpeg /Users/ajlacombe/Downloads/IMG_7231D.jpeg /Users/ajlacombe/Downloads/IMG_7233D.jpeg /Users/ajlacombe/Downloads/IMG_7234D.jpeg /Users/ajlacombe/Downloads/IMG_7235D.jpeg /Users/ajlacombe/Downloads/IMG_7236D.jpeg /Users/ajlacombe/Downloads/IMG_7237D.jpeg /Users/ajlacombe/Downloads/IMG_7238D.jpeg /Users/ajlacombe/Downloads/IMG_7239D.jpeg cnosil, ChitownM2, Fred Mitchell and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlH Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Nice writeup! I play with the Red Rooster Feather and it fits "like a glove!" I get good wear out of the gloves and the subscription model is easy to work with. When I don't think I'll need a glove before the next shipment, I simply go to the website and indicate such. At Christmas, I bought my wife a red glove and the glove compartment. She likes the fit of a men's small, so when I placed the order, they sent me an email questioning my choice to go with a small rather than the XL I normally order. Good service right there!!!! They're not the least expensive premium gloves available, but they are a quality product and I've been very happy with them for the last 6 months I've been using them. I recently changed my regular order from the Feather to the Ice (essentially the same glove, only the accent coloring is different). I don't use the glove compartment as I have another product that does the same thing (it's actually called a "glove humidor", complete with cork lining and does an awesome job of keeping the gloves from getting hard prematurely.

Tom the Golf Nut Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 I switched over to the Red Rooster glove back in December. I will say that it was a good decision. The grip, feel, and fit is very good. I will also add that they are very durable. Three rounds and two buckets at the range and it still looks and feels new. sirchunksalot and GolfSpy_SHARK 2 Quote Driver, TSi 1 S Flex 3 wood, Aerojet Max UST Helium Nanocore R Flex 5 wood, Aerojet Max UST Helium Nanocore R Flex 7 Wood, Aerojet Max UST Helium Nanocore R Flex 5 Hybrid King Tec MMT R Flex Irons, Vice VGI01 Mitsubishi Wiz 60-gram regular flex (6 - PW) VGW01, 50 Degree.

AndySP Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Nice review! I have the synthetic range one and the cape and find them really comfortable. The little pull tab on the bottom is so clutch, and the fit is very good for me. I think I gotta try the red next. My only wish is that the range glove was a little tackier. It doesn’t quite have the same grip as the leather option so it can take me a minute to acclimate. That said, I normally just use them when my skin gets a little sore after too long at the range, so maybe I’m not the best judge.

Javs Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 (edited) Based on the glowing reviews coupled with the MYGOLFSPY EXCLUSIVE 30% OFF Best Golf Gloves deal; I made a purchase today. Opted for the feather and saddle. I wear a cadet small so, very happy that Red Rooster have that size. Many glove companies do not offer cadet sizing. Can’t wait to see if these gloves are the real deal! Edited March 31, 2023 by Javs GolfSpy_SHARK, GolfSpy_APH and sirchunksalot 3 Quote Play like a champion today!

Also they make such a good product and it stands out in a good way which I love! Pretty sure they have 34 different sizes as well! sirchunksalot and Javs 2 Quote as of Nov 6, 2023 (Past WITB) Driver: Paradym TD w/ GD ADDI 6X Driver Shootout!

KC Golf Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 I have tried a bunch of these gloves and the glove case over the past year. The gloves look great and the quality is excellent. They last a while during normal use. Looking forward to trying the rain glove. Got the rain gloves over the Winter. I would also add that as a DTC, the personalized hand written notes with each Red Rooster order and the customer service is above and beyond as well. Another great Canadian company.
