Waterproof Jacket Recommendations

[bighairydel]

After playing in yesterdays monsoon, my 10 year old jacket is clearly getting past it's best.
I carry my bag and under the straps it's now like a sieve so this will need to be a consideration when getting a new one as some of the ultra lightweight jackets won't cope I feel.
Don't want to spend an absolute fortune if I can help it!

think mine is a outdoors waterproof coat regatta iirc, pretty cheap as well.

I’ve got a berghaus one, does the job perfectly well.

Yeah I did think about trying one from go outdoors or something, seems as soon as you add the word golf the price goes through the roof!

In my experience, if it’s Goretex and made by a decent manufacturer you won’t do far wrong. I’ve got an Adidas Goretex jacket and it’s great.

Look out for last years offering from Proquip, I say last year only because it will be cheaper. Hugely reliable gear at good prices. Saying that Azazel's post is spot on.

I’ve got the galvanic green goretex and in my opinion the the only difference between that and the proquip I had previously is the warranty.

Yes we all look at galvin as a premier brand, but I’ve had goretex from Sunderland and proquip in the past and would do again.

As above you can normally get great deals on previous years Sunderland and proquip if you look around.

Plenty of choice here and a reputable company to deal with. They are very good at getting stuff out to customers quickly too

Galvin Green is worth the extra cost.

I'm currently saving to go all in on a Galvin Green. It's a lot of cash, but it should last for years and reports are that they are the dugs knackers when it comes to wet weather.

Also, one of the reasons I elected to no longer carry was that a succession of jackets / jumpers / windproof tops would get ruined with rubbing on the shoulder but most notably on the lower back.

So at £129 for a trolley, this will pay for itself over the next 5 years or so.

Also - comfort and fit will depend massively on your body shape as you need to swing a club while wearing it (obviously). Some brands are targeted at older golfers so allow a more rotund fit (e.g. Ping), others are cut for a more athletic figure (e.g. Lindberg)

You don’t need to be old to have a rotund figure😜👍
