The Best Waterproof Golf Jackets You Can Buy

By: Liam Moore | Fri 06 Oct 2023

Not many golfers need convincing to tackle the course during the summer season, when the sun is beaming and the skies are blue.

However, once the colder periods slowly approach, golf facilities tend to not receive the level of business that would be typical during April - September.

The term fair-weather golfers exists for a reason, but these players are risking the chance of undoing all the hard work completed during the peak season.

Of course, if you are going to take to the fairways during the off-season, then you will need to wear the appropriate apparel to keep you protected against the elements - especially if you reside in Britain!

Luckily for you, there are plenty of brilliant products that can boost enjoyment from golfing in undesirable conditions, like waterproof jackets.

Below, we provide information on ten varied products to cater to a wide range of budget.
