Cabretta eller syntetisk golfhandske – vilken ska du välja?

Cabretta or synthetic golf glove – which one should you choose?

When it comes to choosing a golf glove, many people face the same question: Cabretta or synthetic? Both materials have their advantages, but the choice often depends on how, where and how much you play. Here, we'll walk you through the differences to help you find the right glove for your game.

Cabretta – for maximum feel and grip

Cabretta is a soft, thin and exclusive leather made from sheepskin. The biggest advantage of cabretta is the feel. Many golfers describe it as the glove almost melting into the hand and providing an optimal grip on the club.

Benefits of Cabretta:

  • Exceptional softness and comfort
  • Best possible grip, even in light moisture
  • Perfect for competitive play and serious training

Golfvante offers several models in cabretta, including our Premium gloves and the popular Estándar , our best-selling premium glove. But why not choose STANDARD xTHIN , a premium model that is a little cheaper but almost as soft and supple as our more exclusive models. For those who want the highest quality in every stroke, cabretta is the obvious choice.

Synthetic – simpler but often very affordable

Synthetic golf gloves have developed a lot in recent years. They are often slightly thinner than cabretta but very resistant to both moisture and wear. They do not breathe quite as well and can sometimes feel a little warmer on the hand. But for those of you who think that price is most important and can accept a slightly different feel, synthetic can be a very good alternative.

Advantages of synthetic gloves:

  • Often longer shelf life, but not always – it depends on the quality
  • Withstands moisture and heat better
  • Generally lower price

At Golfvante you will find, for example, Anchor , Riptide and perhaps Sweden's cheapest golf glove NORMA - three synthetic gloves that are suitable for both beginners and as durable training gloves.

Summary

  • Cabretta: Maximum feel, perfect grip, premium feel.
  • Synthetic: Often very durable, affordable, good for training and backup.

Our tip? It usually works best to have both varieties in your bag – a cabretta for competition and finesse, a synthetic for training and reserve.
