Waterproof Golf Clothing for Men

Golf may be anything but the “good walk spoiled” that Mark Twain dubbed it, but it’s definitely less fun if it’s raining, so quality waterproof golf clothing for men is necessary to carry on enjoying the day. Fortunately, there is a good range to choose from that is specifically designed to be flexible and comfortable so that your swing is wholly uncompromised.

When golfing in wild weather, you must have the right gear.

As with all sports, it’s crucial to golf performance that you be properly dressed for any weather conditions. If your body is not relaxed and comfortable, your stance and swing will be affected.

Unless you are just an occasional golfer (and if you are, you probably don’t really need waterproof clothing), it’s better to shop carefully and get the item that’s exactly right for you, rather than try and save money by getting something cheaper. Remember that you might be on the course for several hours, and if it is raining the entire time, you have to be properly equipped (no fair counting on an umbrella-toting caddy). You want to stay dry and comfortable with outerwear that breathes and won’t cling or be too heavy as it gets wet.

If you want to guarantee getting the right waterproof golf clothing for men, you should confine your shopping to stores that cater specifically to golfers. Whether online or brick-and-mortar, any place that carries gear designed for the golfer in mind is going to provide you with the most satisfaction down the line.

If you’re shopping online, you might start with Golf Smith, which has a large range of clothing and equipment. They have 10 rain pants to choose from and note which are the best sellers and what customers say about their performance. Some top-rated items include:

• Zero Restriction Featherweight Rain Pull-On pants with Gore-Tex: Although not breathable, these are a lightweight pant that, with a drawstring close, side zippers and ankle-hugger snap system, are designed to keep you completely dry. They also have convenient pass-through pockets and an expansion rear-glove pocket. Customers rave that they are comfortable and non-restrictive.

• Zero Restriction Featherweight Traveler’s Pull-On Rain Pants: Perfect for the golfer who likes to take his game on the road to international golf courses. Scotland has some of the oldest and best courses in the world, and it also has a lot of rain, so such pants are a must. They pack down small and light and have the added convenience of zipping off into rain shorts for wet and humid courses. They also have a Snug Liner Snap System that cinches around the legs to prevent any seepage. Customers like the lightness and complete lack of restriction.

• For rain jackets, Zero Restriction is also amongst the most popular choices in waterproof golf clothing for men. The Zero Restriction Featherweight Rain Jacket with Gore-Tex is the top seller. It features its patented Dual Motion cuffs that move with your body for full wrist mobility while still providing protection from the weather. The jacket also has expanding back pleats to allow for maximum movement in the back and shoulders. There is a dual zipper to prevent bulging, as well as two side pockets, a chest flap pocket and a flat-front elastic waistband. Customers note that this jacket, while perhaps more expensive than other popular brands of golf rain gear, does the job better than its competitors.

One useful note – while Zero Restriction products keep you dry and warm and allow for complete freedom of movement, they are not breathable. Users comment that what ZR offers in return is more than a compensation, but it’s good to know if you are golfing in a very warm and wet environment. Under those circumstances, Snake Eyes makes a very reputable set of rain gear. They are a bit harder to find but Golf Smith has them and they are worth seeking out for such circumstances.
