UA Raingear

[kid2]

Any good.
Is there any particular model of it.
I know that the GoreTex branch of it will always be decent but I haven't got the shillings for splashing out on a complete shot.

I was looking at the Armourstorm 3 pants on the net and they look decent.
The only thing I have a pet hate with rainwear is when the jacket has a full Zip. I can't stand these as they nealy always bend out towards the handle of the club at address.
So that's why I prefer a 1/4 zip. It's also one less place for water to get in.
After this morning I need something decent.
Not going the GG route again had a GoreTex paclite top and I wasn't overly impressed with it.

I would imagine there's even very good trekking or hiking gear that's every bit useful for golf.

In this day and age I don't think many of the big names make poor wet weather gear these days and personally I wouldn't rush to buy Goretex as I think normal suffices

My thinking as well Homes. I think with all the New materials out the science behind them is as good if not better than GoreTex.

Many (FJ, Ping) have a decent warranty period too these days.

There is a reason why the US and UK military all get kitted out in goretex

It's the best for the job , lightweight , breathable and waterproof in all types

Hugely over priced and unnecessary for a simple pursuit like golf. It's not Desert Storm. Can't see the comparison

The Under Armour gear made from cocona material is fantastic. I think the Armourstorm is made from that?

I tried on a Nike hyperadapt (I think) jacket today and was really impressed with it.

It's made of a stretchy material so makes it so easy to swing in, I always feel restricted in a waterproof jacket but this was different to anything else I've seen/tried.

That cocona fabric that Chris is talking about in his post is similar to that as well pal.
Seems real stretchy almost like the tracksuits of the 80's and 90's 😀

Do Kappa do rain gear aswell as track suits?

Didn't know that about the UA Cocona stuff, need to look into those aswell, cheers :thup:

I have a waterproof cocona that I had to buy cause I left my Gary Green @ home.

Kept me bone dry in poor weather.

Retailed @ £85.

£50 if anyone wants it?

Ya pal. Like you now i hate being restricted when swinging. Only thing i dont like though are full zips. I prefer the 1/4 zip tops.
