Proquip

[casuk]

Hi I'm looking to invest in a good water proof suit and I have narrowed it down to the proquip px5 or Galvin green Alf/arn both offer a lifetime waterproof guarantee altough price difference is quite big, just wondered you thoughts I'm not wanting to spend a fortune but will go up a little if price is worth it, I might add I don't play much in the rain but would like the option if needed

Proquip make very reliable gear. I've got a pair of their waterproof trousers and they have never let me down, despite being in some horrible weather. Pocket the difference and buy Proquip.

(I actually have a GG jacket so I am not anti GG)

Proquip are top products, always have been for years it's just companies like GG have come along and been seen as fashionable.

I've had a proquip tourflex 360 suit for a good few years and am very pleased with it. You can often get good deals on proquip stuff online. e.g.

Proquip seem to review well and are very competitively priced plus being a Scottish company they should know a bit or two about keeping the rain out, px5 suit is £250 equivalent gg is almost double that, I think I'll go for the proquip px5, I have a £60 voucher for affordable golf so £190 doesn't seem to bad for a full suit with life guarantee

Have you had a look at American Golf , they are doing 50% of waterproofs at the moment mate.

I have had several Proquip rain jackets and trousers (I have played for along time) they have all performed excellently according the description.

Currently using Technoflex trousers and have 3 different colour jackets because I trust the quality.

I've had the same for a few years and it's as good as the day I bought it, absolutely superb.

I've had my Proquip for many years and it's still as good as ever. A big thumbs up for clubhouse golf too and great prices and service

First Proquip dissenter. Had them 4/5 years and reproofed them every year. Ended up soaked after a biblical downpour late Autumn last year, and have now gone Galvin Green.

I do like gortex I always had them in jackets through the years and they do work its just the price for something I will wear rarely plus with an umbrella I think the proquip should be efficient enough

Had GG for 12 years but decided last year they were just getting too expensive. I bought a Proquip jacket for over £100 less than a GG jacket. It hasn't let me down. As for the longevity, ask me in a few years time.

Good choice - for both reasons!

Proquip Gore Tex range probably not quite as good as top of the range GG, but way, way more affordable! Both use Gore Tex, which is the 'active' part of the weatherproofing!

Proquip is great gear and has never let me down. Great price/performance and keeps you dry in the worst of weather

Waterproofs are the last thing you should be contemplating considering your emigration
