Get This Vegan Golf Gear to Up Your Animal-Friendly Game
Playing a little golf is one of the best ways to spend a warm, sunny day. 🏌️ It’s a great chance to exercise, socialize, and enjoy the outdoors—but all that fun goes down the drain if you realize your golf gear is made of animals’ skin. Ditch these cruelly produced items so that your tee time is also stress-free time. Grab these items from our vegan golf gear guide:
Gloves
The leather industry keeps cows in miserable confinement and slaughters them for their skin—and they’re sometimes even skinned alive. 😱 We obvi don’t want to support this cruelty, so look for synthetic or vegan leather gloves to get a strong grip without harming cows. The Golf Men’s Flexlite Golf Glove from PUMA and the RainGrip gloves from FootJoy are great choices.
Bags
Top-tier vegan leather bags get the job done without harming animals. This bag from KVV has seven-way full-length dividers, six pockets, and adjustable dual straps. Want a more classic look? Go with the Original Jones bag from Jones Sports Co. for a water-resistant nylon bag that holds 14 clubs.
Shoes
When you’re shopping for golf shoes, make sure to watch out for—you guessed it—leather. There are tons of animal-friendly shoes to get instead, including the Stan Smith Golf Shoes or Samba Golf Shoes from Adidas. You could also go with the Traditions Women-Previous Season Style from FootJoy. The premium synthetic uppers give you a comfy fit, and the waterproof construction will keep your feet dry in rainy conditions.
Club Covers
It’s crucial to keep your clubs protected—just make sure you’re helping to protect animals, too. That means avoiding club covers made with leather (which harms cows, horses, and other animals) or wool (which harms sheep). 🐮🐑❤️ Go with a quilted vegan cover for a soft, long-lasting option, or get yourself an elephant-print vegan leather cover to really rep animal rights.
Attire
Good news: Most golf shirts, skorts, and hats are already vegan! 😅 You should always check the tag on whatever item you want to buy to make sure, but you should be good to go as long as the product is made without leather, wool, suede, or any other animal-derived material. Some stylish vegan materials include recycled cotton, nylon, canvas, and polyester.
