HIRZL’s SOFFFT™ Flex Cabretta glove uses the company’s 72-step tanning procedure that extends the peak performance level of the glove far longer than many other brands. The entire series of HIRZL gloves are washable. HIRZL golf gloves have been reviewed by the USGA and R&A and found to be fully conforming to the rules of golf. HIRZL is also the Official Golf Glove of the RE/MAX World Long Drive Championships.
