Golf Rain Jacket
Golfers can’t always count on the kindness of Mother Nature. She doesn’t always care if you’re in the middle of a match. She has some raining to do and it will be done regardless. Then the unexpected cloud cover starts rolling in and the unanticipated rain starts to pour. You’ll be a lot happier if you anticipate this wet turn of events before you hit the course and buy yourself a golf rain jacket.
Ping Collection’s Golf Rain/Wind Jacket is a slick black jacket that’s fashioned like a winter fleece—slight turtleneck and zipper reaching from nape of the neck just down to the chest. It’s a 96% polyester material that is made for breathability, wind resistance, and water repellence. You get three zip pockets on this golf rain jacket: one on each side and one on the chest.
If a standard windbreaker with full-length zipper is more your thing, then check out the Mizuno Tour Raintop. Designed with bona fide tour players in mind, it’s a jacket made of Impermalite, a new waterproof fabric that is said to provide some of the highest levels of waterproofing while still maintaining breathability and light weight. You can get it in black, navy blue, or cobalt.
Puma is a trusted name in athletic wear of all kinds: rugby jerseys, football jerseys, and golf shirts, to name a few. Its steel-grey Golf Rain Jacket more than lives up to the reputation. A 67% polyester fabric with a 100% mesh lining, it’s another dependably waterproof jacket that affords its wearer ample protection from rain and wind. It’s a good-looking jacket, too. A flashy green front zipper is just partially concealed by a front storm flap, while the sleeves attach or detach by the zippers also concealed behind storm flaps.
Perhaps you’re looking for something with a hood. In that case, consider the Charles River Apparel Pack-N-Go Pullover Rain Jacket. This black Softex Polyester pullover jacket is soft and comfy to the wearer, yet still a strong guard against rain and wind. It’s also very breathable thanks to the grommets under the arms.
For an example of just how breathable, read the review on Amazon posted by a woman customer who took it to Disney World with her husband and toddler. When it got too sunny, they placed the jacket over the toddler in his stroller to give him shade. The child stayed cool while breathing just fine.
