Bargain Water Proofs

[GB72]

As the title suggests, looking for some real bargain priced waterproofs. I am not a fair weather golfer but I would also add that, unless it is a big competition, if it is freezing cold and lashing down on the first tee, I am normally the one who asks the group if we really want to go out in this. Basically any waterproofs I have are just to get me round when I am caught out in the rain.

Previously had a set of Woodworm waterproofs that I think cost me £40.00 in the sales. They did me nicely for 4 years but then I ripped the trousers and the jacket is getting a bit worn now. I know that there are people who say go for the quality of GG, Proquip etc but I have not got the cash to justify those prices.

So, has anyone seen any bargains or have any feedback on any bargain makes they have used. So far I see that The Sports HQ are selling for Forgan set at £29.00 and End of Line golf have Hi-Tec ones at £39 but open to any suggestions.

If your course allows camoflauge gear.....visit the army surplus websites. You can pick up army quality goretex trousers for £10 and jackets for not a lot more. Some golf brands are doing the camo thing at the moment so you wouldnt'/shouldn't look too out of place.

I've been using the army trousers to play golf and cycle (in every conceivable weather) and they've never even remotely failed me.

Have you thought of getting a second hand set off ebay? I would rather spend £40 on a second hand proquip set than £40 on a cheap new set that may be questionable in its worth. GG hold their value to well to get a bargain but there are plenty of other good makes that you can pick up 2nd hand at good prices.

Worth looking at Sports direct, the Dunlop stuffs very cheap but they have a Nike suit for £70 and a few other options

I like Proquip waterproofs.

I have the Tourflex water proof suit and find it excellent.

This isn't bad either:

I bought a Bay Hill set on Ebay for £30 last season, it has been absolutely fine for me although Easyjet ruined the jacket when they destroyed my golf bag.

I replaced it with the Hitec Dritec GR500 jacket which I'm very happy with, although its slightly on the large side. They are on sale for £30 via the Hitec website just now.

Greg, I use a set i bought for when i used to cycle to work, bought from Tresspass, they are the packway ones that fold up really small. carry them all year round in my bag without knowing they are there and they cost less than 40quid for the jacket and trousers! see here: http://www.trespass.com/mens-packa-jacket-01255

These guys are usually knocking out some decent sunice stuff very cheaply http://www.justsportsonline.co.uk/brands/sunice-golf.html I've used the web site a couple of times and they are fine, but I see they have not got a great range of waterproof sunice tops at the moment. They tend to come and go a bit I think. They also have some stuff from other manufacturers and I see they are knocking a proquip jacket out at 40 notes http://www.justsportsonline.co.uk/p...rm-elite-waterproof-golf-jacket.html?___SID=U

Otherwise I got a proquip jacket of fleabay, it was not the current model but it has been fine, so that might be a place to look. Plus I got some addidas waterproof trousers also from ebay for about 25 quid, again not the latest range, but they do they job.

Bargain works for me in Pants, but I'm bit iffy with Jackets.

That said. the bargain half-sleeve top I got from Sports HQ on Woodworm worked out fine and I'd have no problem buying last year's model for a decent bargain price!

Have a search for stuburt waterproofs.

Had these in the past and found them to be decent enough.

Get over to clubhousegolf and check out the Proquip offers on full suits. You can't go wrong

Just go naked and buy a hat ...... It don't get cheaper than that and it's totally waterproof!

You can get a ping top and trousers for 130 from, AG. Sure you can shop around and get a bit more off if you get them to price match and you have the bonus of a 3 year guarantee.

Worth it imo.
