Recommend Me Some Waterproofs Sub £100

[GB72]

The title says it all really. Just recovered from a broken big toe and after 8 weeks of I am desperate to play. Looks like this is going to mean me playing in conditions I would normally stay at home in. I have no Waterproofs at the moment so need to buy some. I know Galvin Green etc are excellent but the budget is £100 Max. So, any recommendations or deals around. Must come in big boy sizes

Proquip Aquastorm £85 for jacket and trousers

I have a set of 10 year old Pro Quips that have never let me down.
I have no idea what they cost now.

£100 mmmmm try naked golf - nothing more waterproof than that on a budget :smirk:

 

[MashieNiblick]

I have been very happy with my Pro Quip Aquastorm suit. Should be able to pick up a jacket and trousers under £100. E.g.

Looks like they do big sizes too.

Sunice do some good cheap gear.

Large fitting too.

 

[MendieGK]

Another one for proquip. The trousers I wear are perfect

 

[Rooter]

said it before and i will say it again, trespass do fold up into pocket trousers and jacket for about 30 quid. used for golf, walking, cycling for about 3 years and keep me dry as a bone in the worst rain. dont see why you would pay more for "golf" specific..

Benross. Have a pair of their waterproof trousers, and for £45 they're the best waterproof trousers I've ever owned.

Adidas (non-gore tex range) still decent.

Try These people. Bought many times from them. Never had any problems.
Woodworm stuff is quality.
Forgan suit at £39.99
Woodworm suit at £49.99

Got to be worth a punt.....

These seem pretty reasonable?

I'd second the benross suggestion :thup:

Some deals inside budget (I didn't check sizes) in their clearance sale http://www.clubhousegolf.co.uk/acatalog/Waterproofs.html#usestorage

Again away from the golf specific market, i picked up a berghaus 2 layer goretex jkt for £70, saved £100, even cheaper in their current sale. ( m+m sports) And millets are doing the matching aquafoil trousers for £45 oo:

 

[Grieve14]

I bought these a couple of month ago, they price matched for £75 but can't remember where. I am really pleased with them

Nice on. I was looking for a jacket to wear when I go dogging so just invested in a jacket for under 30 notes. Dog won't be happy though as he will be out in the rain now.

Can't comment on specific waterproof brands, but sad to say that golf-specific clothing does appear to often be very expensive compared to identical stuff designed for non-golf pursuits.
I have various windproof and thermal items that cost me about a quarter of what equivalent golf-specific stuff would be.

It's as if companies have noticed that on average golfers are quite well off and are happy to throw large sums of money at any golf related tat under the misguided impression that it will improve their games long. As long as the tat has some fancy marketing gobblygook to go with it. Perish the thought....

Another vote for Proquip. Not too expensive, generous sizing, quiet in use, and I've had mine for years with no problems.
