Why this is our favourite waterproof

The new year is well underway and it’s the perfect time to get some practice in before the golfing season is upon us.

However, we’ve no doubt if you ask any golfer why they’re not keen on heading out on the course in January, it’s due to the more challenging conditions.

If you’ve ever been caught out on the course in a fierce rainfall, you’ll know how chilling it is to be drenched head-to-foot, and how good the sigh of relief feels when you make it back to the clubhouse to dry yourself off and recuperate.

You’ll be avoiding feeling like a drowned rat when you add the latest golf waterproofs from ProQuip to your wardrobe. They’ll keep you warm, dry, and they’re an absolute joy to wear.

Rain

As we’ll all well know, our climate brings its fair share of rain. From slight showers to unrelenting downpours, you can almost guarantee that you’ll get wet playing golf in the wintertime.

Nobody likes being caught in a rainfall, but it won’t disrupt your game or your focus when you’re wearing the latest golf waterproofs. These jackets and trousers feature a waterproof coating that ensures the rain will run down the material rather than seep in and cause any dampness.

Rain may not be your favourite weather for a round of golf, but you won’t get wet when you’re wearing a golf waterproof outfit! Typical rain jackets may keep you dry but the material will become heavy with moisture and slow you down. Golf-specific waterproof jackets are designed to keep you feeling nimble and fluid, especially throughout your swing!

Wind

The winter months bring about a lot of turbulent weather, and the wind can be a big deciding factor of which club you take out of the bag when you’re standing on the tee. The wind may influence your ball, but you’ll be perfectly safe from it going through you when you’re garbed in a golf waterproof.

Engineered using Seam-sealed and stretchy material, these garments are light to the touch and help you turn through your golf swing with absolute ease. They’re also have a lot of stopping power when you’re confronted with gusts of wind, so you’ll stay warm and content as you make your way around the course.

In a nutshell, golf waterproofs keep your core feeling warm and secure without being flappy and baggy like a typical raincoat.

Colder temperatures

It goes without saying that there’s a lot less daylight throughout the winter period, leaving us with a shorter timeframe to enjoy our time out on the golf course.

As the darkness creeps in so does the temperature drop, but there’s no need to panic. These golf waterproofs are ideal for layering and they’re easy to wear and remove should you need to put a jumper on to keep your core warm.

These golf waterproofs have stretch properties that allow you to have a freeing sense of movement as you turn your body through your swing. Your movement won’t feel restricted at all even as you layer up on those chilly winter mornings.
