Waterproof trousers in the SUMMER?

[JustOne]

My waterproofs are supposed to be 'breathable', they weigh barely anything and are super comfy.....

could I wear them in the Summer??? or is that madness?

I don't mean over the top of trousers I mean by themselves.

One question, why?!

 

[Spinn77]

ha ha, yeah i suppose you could. why not

Don't forget that as well as keeping water out, they hold it in too so it would save you having to nip behind a tree on the way round.
Might get a bit "sloshy" towards the end, but it might help speed you up a bit.

Well...... (don't tell the missus)

I was supposedly going to do some chores/shopping Wednesday and opted for a quick 18 holes instead. I'd left the house in ripped jeans and a polo shirt..... whacked on the waterproofs over the jeans and off I went.

Which got me thinking that I can do that in the Summer too but it would get a bit toasty with jeans on underneath....

does that help?

I'm not sure if they would get sweaty as I assume any sweat wouldn't absorb into the fabric like it might do on ordinary trousers... but might they just let out the heat quick enough to stop them getting sweaty?

I've got some luvverly teflon coated trews ( £10ish in Debenhams) which I leave in the car, wear for golf then wait until the mud dries, quick rub down with a clothes brush, and ready again.

Obviously I have to sneak them into the wash bag once every now and then, but, hey, I can set the washine machine too, you know - I am a man, but I'm also a techno genius.

My man, dont tell me you dont have a stash of clothes in your locker for such occasions???

 

[JustOne]

I don't have a locker

I don't like wearing the same clothes twice if I can help it, so having them in a locker serves no purpose. My missus has a good washing system so that I can take something off when I come home and it's washed, dried and ironed by the morning.. and normally hanging back in the cupboard. I can look like I wear the same clother everyday for a whole week and they've actually been washed every day. I change clothing only to MAKE other people realise that I don't actually wear dirty clothes.

I did wear a pair of grey trews 3 days in a row in the Winter... minging.. proper minging.

I figured that if I wore my waterproofs I could literally rinse them in the sink (or shower) at the club if necessary and they'd be dry in no time as they seem to dry superfast, not likeordinary clothing. I could probably get them back to wearable in 5min under the hand drier and stick 'em back in the golfbag for next time.

I think we have a man with a fetish about to come clean!!


(no pun intended!!!!!)

 

[TonyN]

That is the reason why you have to sneak out to golf, U ARE THE WIFE!

Man up and play away... or err

 

[drawboy]

I wouldn't wear them without nipple rings and a fong underneath...oh and a biker hat would look stunning with an ensemble like that particularly if you grow a huge 'tash.

wear shorts, that way it's only half the work.

what about the great sock dilema?

 

[JustOne]

wear shorts, that way it's only half the work.

I haven't got the knees for shorts... I don't want to scare the ladies away, and besides, I hate that 'half-suntanned' look.

A lot of the guys at my club seem to either where a pair of shorts under their waterproofs and some even take of their golfing trousers and just slip on the waterproofs if its a bit warm. Personally I'd rather not put any waterproofs (trousers or top unless its perishing cold or absolutely sodden or persistantly precipitation as I'm playing)

Get a pair of tailored knee length boxers, and wear them under your jeans. Take jeans off at the course, and voila.

Just be done and buy a kilt, you wuss
