Welcome to GOLF’s 2022 edition of the Best of Everything, where we’re providing you with the, well… best of everything! Check out our picks below or browse more items in our Pro Shop.
There’s nothing worse than getting caught on the course in the rain unprepared — or prepared, but with bad gear.
It happens, but it doesn’t have to. Let’s say you’re looking at an iffy forecast or an ominous radar graphic but don’t want to forfeit your tee time. You need to own some good waterproof (different than water resistant) items, and you’re golden. With the below selections — for both men and women — in tow, you’ll never have to worry about being cold and sopping wet way out on the 13th hole again.
Rain Jackets
Adidas RAIN.RDY Full Zip Jacket
This 100% waterproof rain jacket channels the water away from you body to keep you focused on your game no matter the conditions.
Footjoy HydroLite Zip-Off Sleeves Rain Jacket
Sometimes it’s not cold, but it’s pouring. That’s when this jacket is the best choice because the sleeves zip off. It’s the most versatile option on this list for that reason.
Zero Restriction Hooded Olivia Jacket
This jacket is lightweight and fully seam sealed to keep you dry. It’s available in a few different colors if you’re not keen on the typical black rain gear look.
Kjus Pro 3L 2.0 Jacket
They say you get what you pay for, and that’s certainly the case with this Kjus jacket. It’s pricey, but it’s premium. You’ll be comfortable, dry and stylish in one fell swoop. This exact jacket is also available in a women’s cut.
Lululemon Cross Chill Jacket RepelShell
This color-pop waterproof shell is a great option if you need a rain coat just in case.
Rain Pants
Galway Bay Golf Rain Suit
If you’ve got a trip planned to Ireland or the PNW, you need the full get up. Galway Bay is your one-stop shop, offering the full rain suit — jacket and pants — in one package. They have a few color options, but I think this slate color is best.
Footjoy HydroTour Rain Pants
These pull-on waterproof pants are easy to slip on mid-round should a storm come out of nowhere.
Kjus Women Dextra II 2.5L Pants
Finally, a pair of women’s rain pants that aren’t giant and bulky. They’re on the more expensive end of the spectrum but will last you forever.
Rain Accessories
The Weatherman 62 Golf Umbrella
This is the best golf umbrella in the biz. It won’t flip over on you in windy conditions, it’s the perfect size to keep you dry without being *so* massive and difficult to carry, and it comes in fun colors like this green!
Rains Cap
This fully waterproof cap is stylish and functional. Not all of the colors are as shiny as the one in the image above, so don’t be afraid to use the below button to explore the other options.
Haas-Jordan 68″ Guardian Umbrella
This USA-themed umbrella will keep you dry without breaking the bank. And no, I have no relation to this umbrella company — great name though!
Titleist StaDry Performance Bucket
This bucket hat comes in an array of sizes to fit any size noggin. It’s a great option if you’re not keen on the idea of carrying around an umbrella all round.
