What to look for in a waterproof
Or, perhaps more to the point, we should say: what to look for in a golf waterproof. There’s much more to consider if you’re playing golf in your new jacket…
Clothing & Footwear
It's far more than that
During the winter, we hardly leave home without looking out the window and checking the weather forecast first.
Getting caught in the cold rain when you nip down the shops can really dampen your mood, let alone when you’re midway through your round on the golf course.
However, poor weather is one of those things we’ve simply got to embrace in life, and let’s face it, it often looks much worse from the window. Playing through the rain and pulling off some great shots despite the harder conditions can feel incredibly rewarding.
It goes without saying that you need to be wearing clothing that’s up to the task of protecting you when you’re outdoors among the turbulent weather. So, what do you go for? Do you go for the standard raincoat you can find in any high street shop, or a quality waterproof purposefully built for golf?
In the pro shop, we stock stretchy waterproof golf jackets from Galvin Green in a variety of sizes for your convenience. These jackets are simply fantastic, but why should you choose a golf waterproof from Galvin Green over any other brand?
Why go with Galvin Green?
Galvin Green are renowned for their durable outerwear, and their jackets have been used by local golfers just starting out, right the way through to the best in the game.
Founded in the mid-90s, Galvin Green brought a fresh flair to a golf apparel industry that had been churning out beige, baggy outerwear. The brand’s pieces are colourful, radiant, and make use of fascinating patterns.
Pairing groundbreaking substance to go along with their style, Galvin Green paved the way for extremely waterproof material through crafting their GORE-TEX® membrane. With their clothing looking good, feeling great, and performing excellently, the Galvin Green brand name quickly became synonymous with quality.
One such Galvin Green golf waterproof you’ll no doubt find as comforting as it is practical is the Ames Waterproof Jacket. Here’s why their latest outerwear is perfect for use on the golf course…
The Galvin Green Ames Waterproof Jacket
The Ames Waterproof Jacket is made from a fully waterproof polyamide material, ensuring that the fabric can effectively be pulled in any direction to ensure you don’t feel any restriction when you’re turning sharply through your golf swing.
You may well think that outerwear and protective clothing must be broad and bulky, but that simply isn’t the case with this jacket. The Ames is lightweight and breathable, helping you feel nimble and ready for action from tee to green.
What really separates this from your everyday rain jacket is the sheer quality of the product’s design. The 3-layer PERTEX fabric is both durable and stretchy, giving you the best of both worlds when you’re playing golf in the choppy elements.
You can also get a matching pair of golf waterproof trousers to go alongside the Ames Waterproof Jacket to keep your bottom half similarly protected. Wearing this whole outfit throughout the winter will have you embracing the conditions regardless of the weather forecast.
We stock all kinds of clothing and waterproofs in the pro shop, and if you’re considering getting yourself a dependable jacket for the coming winter, we’d be happy to help you find the right one in the pro shop.
