Golf clothing and accessories have become a necessity for today’s avid golfer, as you never know what to expect of the weather these days! For many people these days one of the first questions when buying golf gear can often be “ Is it waterproof?” In fact the weather can be so extreme and unpredictable these days, that even when buying waterproof golf products you may well ask “Just how waterproof is it?”

Many of the cheaper products available may only be rainproof or showerproof, and not able to withstand prolonged rain. If you are unsure about this look for a waterproof  guarantee.

The most important consideration when buying waterproof golf clothing, is that it is ‘golf’ clothing and not some cheap imitation. Golf clothing is designed to allow freedom of movement when playing so that you are not restricted in any way, which is crucial as far as your swing is concerned.

Make sure that the product is “waterproof”, as some are just rainproof or showerproof and only suitable for light rain or showers, not more prolonged or heavier rain. Look for a waterproof guarantee which means a quality product that may cost slightly more, but will last longer and is less likely to let you down. As well as being waterproof, some golf clothing is lined and wind proof to keep you warm on a cold day.

If in general you play golf in warm weather many hats, jackets, pants, and shoes are breathable, meaning that as well as keeping the rain out they allow body heat and moisture to escape.

The manufacturers of golf clothing don’t miss a trick and recognise that most people these days want to look the part in clothes that are fashionable and stylish. Several top manufacturers: Galvin Green, Mizuno, Sunderland of Scotland, Ping, Nike, ProQuip, Adidas, Ashworth, Sunice, Snake Eyes, and Footjoy Basic Waterproof Clothing.

• Hats and caps can be relatively inexpensive, so you will more than likely own more than one to suit different types of weather.

• Waterproof suits can be jacket and pants worn separately or an all in one suit, they are lightweight and easily stored in the golf bag. The most important aspect is that they do not restrict your swing, also some material can be noisier than others when you are moving which can be annoying.

• Golf shoes should be waterproof and comfortable, follow manufacturers instructions on how to take care of them and they will last longer.

• Golf gloves can be difficult to find which are waterproof and provide a sensitive enough grip. Most golfers wear just the one.

Where to Shop?

Local Golf Store: The advantage of shopping from your local store is that you get to try on clothing before you buy. The main disadvantage is that it is likely to be more expensive.

Online Shopping: The biggest advantage to shopping online is there are amazing discounts, you can usually find customer reviews of products (Amazon have lots), and if you purchase several items shipping can be free. The downside is that you don’t get to try on the clothing, however, most online stores have no problem with returns or replacements. If you are confident of the sizes (maybe you tried them on in your local store, or own similar), substantial savings can be made by shopping online.

Make sure it’s golf clothing, waterproof, guaranteed, quality, affordable, a good fit, comfortable, non-restrictive, windproof, breathable, warm, and stylish.

Happy Golfing and may the course be with you!

Wet and muddy clothing left in a golf bag will result in deterioration of the garments, not to mention an unpleasant smell the next time you open the bag.

Keeping waterproofs and golf shoes clean and dry will mean that they are more comfortable to wear, retain their water repellency, and save you money in the long term.

Ordinary washing detergents aren’t suitable for washing such garments as it can ruin the waterproofing, non-detergent products or natural soap flakes are recommended. You can dry waterproofs in a tumble drier at a low temperature and the heat generated will actually help to bring back the water repellency.

After a while clothing can start to lose its water repellency and the water will start to soak into the material instead of rolling off, known as soaking or wetting out. This means that you may have to re-waterproof them at some point.

To check if the garment needs re-waterproofing, spray on some water and if it beads (little balls of water) and runs off then it should be OK, if not it needs re-proofing.

Nikwax provide a range of products for washing or re-waterproofing, be sure to order the correct product(s), follow the instructions and make sure that you wash at the correct temperature.
