What to look for in a waterproof

You might be able to walk into a high-street shop and grab a jacket off the shelf because it looks good. Easy enough. But it’s not like that for golf waterproofs; we’ve got so much more to think about. That’s why we’ve picked out our favourite waterproof jacket – the ProQuip Ailsa you see above – and we’re looking at what we need to consider when buying a waterproof (beside keeping you dry, of course).
 

Premium feel

This is the reason so many golfers turn to ProQuip for their rainwear. ProQuip is renowned for its premium materials and you can see this right through the waterproof construction. It feels softer to the touch than you might expect from a waterproof, with a lovely knitted construction, but there’s never any doubt about the protection.

Sports performance

What do premium materials give you in a golf jacket? In this case, the four-way stretch fabric is a big, big benefit. Paired with the lightweight, bulk-reducing design, it allows you to move easily and swing your clubs with complete freedom thanks to added stretch in key areas. That’s taken even further with the huge bonus of Silent Swing Technology to avoid any discomfort or distraction during your swing.
 

Smart style

Well, you can see this for yourself. This jacket looks really smart from the front and the back, so you can feel confident in your appearance even when the weather’s working against you. You can find this in every detail from the stand-up collar to the adjustable cuffs.
