The best waterproof golf gear for winter 2025

The winter is quickly rolling in, the temperatures are dropping, and the rain is on the horizon. If you want to carry on playing your best golf this winter, then this article is for you. This guide will give you all the details you need to know to stay nice and dry on the course this winter, as well as some of our recommendations! 

Why do I Need waterproofs to play golf in winter? 

As we all know, the weather can shift at the drop of a hat. There is absolutely nothing worse than getting caught on the course without a reliable waterproof in your bag. Without strong waterproofs on your side this winter, your rounds are likely to consist of spending lots of time sheltering beneath trees! 

Whilst the layers beneath your waterproofs will be doing the work to keep you warm and insulated, the outer layer is the most important layer. Without a reliable rain shield, your layers will become voided quite quickly. Modern day waterproofs are designed to be light, breathable and to aid your performance on the course, keeping your swing light and fluid. 

Things to consider when buying golf waterproofs

Moveability 

When purchasing a waterproof item, specifically a jacket, be sure to try on different items and find one that feels comfortable for you and your swing. There is nothing embarrassing about taking a few practice swings in the shop, we’ve all done it! 

This also includes the weight of the jacket. When folded up and put inside your bag it should be unnoticeable. Likewise, when you take a swing, it shouldn't impede your movement or swing speed. 

Breathability 

Make sure you check how breathable the item is and if it has sections for aeration. Without this it can often become quite sweaty and uncomfortable with a waterproof on, regardless of how cold it is outside. 

Adjustable features and hood 

Features such as adjustable cuffs, sealed zips and storm flaps are all crucial to keeping water off your inner layers. If the jacket has a hood, check to see how much it affects your sight line and visibility when up. 

Waterproof care 

Taking care is imperative to lengthening their lifespan. Ensure to stay away from any fabric softening detergents when washing as these can breakdown the materials that keep the garments waterproof. 

Purchasing a waterproof can massively bolster the item's waterproof ability. These can be especially useful for older items. This is a great option on Amazon, guaranteed to give your items an additional waterproof layer.
