MENS GOLF WATERPROOFS

Waterproof trousers make a useful addition to any golfer’s wardrobe, especially in the UK, where wet weather is inevitable. Whether you actually need them, though, depends on how often you play and if you brave outdoor golf in the harsh winter months.

For example, if you’re a casual golfer who only plays a couple of times a year, you may prefer not to shell out on waterproof golf trousers that will barely be worn. However, if you regularly visit the golf course, keeping a pair handy in your golf bag can be a real boon – just in case the heavens open midway through your round. They're designed to pull on over your regular golf trousers, and an adjustable leg width makes it easy to get them over your golf shoes. You can trust that you’ll stay warm and dry no matter what!

Waterproof golf jackets don’t come cheap, so you’ll want to be confident that you’re purchasing the very best.

Of course, you’ll want outerwear that looks great – complementing your stylish look on the course – but you’ll also want to trust that it will keep your upper body dry and won’t restrict your swing.

Always check whether the jacket is 100% waterproof, rainproof, or windproof before buying. Waterproof ratings are measured in millimetres: at least 10,000mm is recommended for effective protection, and 20,000mm or higher will withstand heavy rain without leaking. If you’re a seasoned player, be sure to opt for a fully waterproof jacket to provide optimal protection on the links. A windproof coat will shield you in blustery conditions, but won’t keep you as warm and dry.

Many brands also back their jackets with a waterproof warranty of up to three years.

Breathability is an essential feature, too. Ratings are shown per square metre per 24 hours (g/m²/24h), and a highly breathable fabric lets heat and sweat escape so you don't overheat while playing golf. Look for seam-sealed construction and waterproof zips to stop water from leaking through. Gore-Tex is 100% waterproof and breathable and is used by the likes of Galvin Green, while brands such as Ping (SensorDry) and Sunderland (WhisperDry) use their own membranes.

Another important factor to consider when choosing men’s golf waterproofs is playability. You need to be able to swing freely without the weather getting the better of you and zips getting in the way. Mechanical or four-way stretch fabric, articulated sleeves, and a longer back hem all help with this.

It also helps to try the product on for size to ensure it fits comfortably. It shouldn’t be too baggy or long, nor should it be snug across the back or under the arms.

Most traditional golf rain jackets don’t come with a rain hood, which explains why golfers usually opt to wear a waterproof golf hat.

Waterproof jackets zip up tight to your neck – providing a neat look and retaining as much heat as possible. Unless the hood fits tightly around the face, it’s likely to obstruct your view, which can drastically impact your performance.

In windy and challenging conditions, it’s likely to blow down and become a distraction – diverting your attention away from the game. Some modern jackets now include a close-fitting hood, such as the Ping AquaDrive Hooded jacket, for golfers looking for extra protection.

The price you’ll pay for men’s golf waterproofs depends on whether you need a full suit or just a jacket, the quality of the product, and the manufacturing brand.
