A pair of Footjoy Performance Xtreme winter trousers.

Great fit, very comfy when playing over the weekend. Got caught in some heavy rain on Friday, they repelled for a bit, I didn't get wet to the skin, but they creased up quite heavily when wet, disappeared after drying out. They'll be fine in a shower but wouldn't leave out regular waterproofs (I know they're not a replacement).

Handsome house @CliveW (y)

A Sunderland (golf) neck warmer from Function18, I hate having a cold neck, and a new glove from the same. My current glove has gone downhill all of a sudden and needs replacing.

A waterproof Taylormade baseball cap. Didn't even know there was such a thing.

I have an under armour one and hadn't actually realised until I used it in the rain and later noticed it had storm written on the side (which is their waterproof range). It's actually quite useful in a quick downpour! The only issue is it just just funnels all the rain down the back of your neck in prolonged rain.

did think about going for a waterproof bucket hat as probably more practical, but they just look stupid to me.

I have one, it certainly does the job, the only problem is the same old same old with waterproof stuff like that - it makes my head quite hot and sweaty when wearing it for a while. I used to think they looked a bit silly as you say, but ultimately decided I don't have to look at myself while I'm playing so if it keeps my head dry, who cares.

I own a goretex UA bucket hat.

I agree they do look stupid BUT not as stupid as a man chasing his trolly down the fairway because the wind gusted his brolly. Not as much faff either trying to skewer your brolly into the turf whilst you take a shot.

Genuinely. The bucket hat is a game changer in the rain.

Takes all the effort and annoyance out of winter golf. Not to mention keeping you snug as a bug in a rug.

Is it a goretex one?

I had a ping non goretex hat and it Was sweat city

The goretex UA one I mention above is very dry inside.

I have a Sunderland one and it works perfectly. No rain drips down the beck of your neck, no sweating. I will look a plank, I agree they do look awful, but there are no mirrors on a golf course so I can't see it. Can't look worse than my swing anyway :ROFLMAO:

No it's just a regular Adidas RDY one. I know that Goretex is different gravy but I wasn't willing to pay over twice the price for something I wear only three or four times a year really. 45-50 quid is more than I spend on any item of golf clothing let alone a hat. :p

Think I paid 35 for mine. Not cheap I agree but penny’s compared to some brollys

I have one as well, taylormade, I’m bald and when I first started using it I thought the rain was getting through there was that much ‘water’ inside…assumed it was condensation in the end and now have a bit of flannel on top of my head before I put the hat on. Helps a bit.

Ps - I put the hat on discreetly so nobody sees me sticking some flannel on me bonce!

I think I'd invest in the Goretex one before resorting to that. :LOL:
