'POOR VALUE'
Strengths:
Nice soft feel and fit. Useful for the delicate shots around the green
Weaknesses:
Wears out very quickly
Overall:
Cost versus durability makes them second choice every time to the established 'quality' gloves

'VERY IMPRESSED'
Strengths:
Comfortable, fantastic in the wet and seemingly very durable. The leather is thin which gives good feel and I really like the unfussy design.
Weaknesses:
None found yet...though my wife is threatening to get the animal rights people onto me!
Overall:
I have found this glove to be absolutely top notch and having never found a glove that I was really happy with, I think that I may have found the one!

'NICE GLOVE'
Strengths:
Seems durable and is good in the wet.
Weaknesses:
Stretches, I've worn my glove about 6 or seven times and the velcro is almost overlaps.
Overall:
A good glove in the wet and it seems durable but with the stretch..... I wouldn't pay £15 for a glove I could only wear upto a dozen times.

'SKIPPY SKIN - GRIPPY & THIN'
Strengths:
It's made out of the best material for golf gloves
Tough, thin, grippy in the wet, excellent fit.
Weaknesses:
Not too fussed on the lycra finger inserts - the definitive roo skin glove (Taylor Made Tour Preferred) is ALL leather - and cheaper.
Overall:
Good Glove
Overpriced for a non-branded item

'IMPRESSED BUT NOT ENOUGH'
Strengths:
Nice feel and durable
Weaknesses:
Stretched quite a bit
Overall:
Won this glove in GM comp and am impressed. Its very soft and durable. Only downside is that it does stretch a lot which will put me off purchasing another and will be going back to my FJ!

'GREAT GLOVE'
Strengths:
Thin and durable giving me extra control and feel. Fits very well and is comfortable.
Weaknesses:
Not really a weakness, but it looks dirty after a few rounds. It says I can wash it but who washes their gloves?
Overall:
It has to be the best glove I have used.

' A GREAT GLOVE'
Strengths:
Very thin which allows for a nice feel and good grip,and after 7 rounds with it, it hasn't shown no signs of wear as yet.
Weaknesses:
A bit on the pricey side.
Overall:
A good hard wearing glove..When you first get it out of the packet it feels so thin you think it will tear just puting it on,but having played 7 rounds with it so far it has no real sign of wear and i normally wear gloves out quickly.

'THE BEST GLOVE I HAVE USED'
Strengths:
Comfortable,Long lasting very durable. Does not feel soggy or slippery when wet.
Weaknesses:
None
Overall:
As a high handicapper with an erratic swing I find most gloves start to show significant wear after 5 or 6 rounds of golf. I wore one Roo glove for a whole season - this makes it great value for money.

'TOP QUALITY GLOVE AT FRIENDLY PRICE'
Strengths:
So soft and comfortable to wear. Non-fussy design, just looks what is - top quality glove.
Weaknesses:
None so far. Only thing, some people may not buy because of association with furry 'Joey'. If it was just 'leather' they would have no qualms. Has not put me off though!
Overall:
10 out of 10. So good I've just ordered some more.
