It's far more than that

During the winter, we hardly leave home without looking out the window and checking the weather forecast first.

Getting caught in the cold rain when you nip down the shops can really dampen your mood, let alone when you’re midway through your round on the golf course.

However, poor weather is one of those things we’ve simply got to embrace in life, and let’s face it, it often looks much worse from the window. Playing through the rain and pulling off some great shots despite the harder conditions can feel incredibly rewarding.

It goes without saying that you need to be wearing clothing that’s up to the task of protecting you when you’re outdoors among the turbulent weather. So, what do you go for? Do you go for the standard raincoat you can find in any high street shop, or a quality waterproof purposefully built for golf?

In the pro shop, we stock stretchy waterproof golf jackets from ProQuip in a variety of sizes for your convenience. These jackets are simply fantastic, but why should you choose a golf waterproof from ProQuip over any other brand?

Why go with ProQuip?

ProQuip are renowned for their durable outerwear, and their jackets have been used by local golfers just starting out, right the way through to the best in the game. ProQuip was the official outerwear brand of choice for the winning European team at the 2014 Ryder Cup.

One of ProQuip’s main successes has been the implementation of their swing-silent technology. Don’t you find it annoying when you’re turning through your golf swing but the material rustles against itself and distracts you? ProQuip’s swing-silent technology ensures the material doesn’t make any noise as you perform your golf swing, allowing you to stay focused solely on your golf performance.

These are exactly the kind of quality differences that makes going for a durable golf waterproof really worth it. If you head out on the course in a standard raincoat, you’ll feel the material feel uncomfortably restricting when turning through the ball, but a ProQuip jacket feels superb with every shot.

One such ProQuip golf waterproof you’ll no doubt find as comforting as it is practical is the Ultimate HTX Rain Jacket. Here’s why their latest outerwear is perfect for use on the golf course…

The ProQuip Ultimate HTX Rain Jacket

As you can tell by the name, ProQuip are fiercely proud of their product. The Ultimate HTX Rain Jacket is made from a fully waterproof polyester material that moves with you both when you’re walking and when you’re swinging your golf clubs.

This piece features 4-way stretch material, this component ensures that the fabric can effectively be pulled in any direction to ensure you don’t feel any restriction when you’re turning sharply through your golf swing.

You may well think that outerwear and protective clothing must be broad and bulky, but that simply isn’t the case with this jacket. The Ultimate HTX is lightweight and breathable, helping you feel nimble and ready for action from tee to green.

What really separates this from your everyday rain jacket is the sheer quality of the product’s design. ProQuip has constructed this jacket keep you at an optimal temperature throughout use, so you stay warm in the cold without overheating.

The golf waterproof has a reflective metal inner lining that transfers heat throughout the torso to keep you warm. From your shoulders, to your lower back and your torso, you’ll feel at ease and in good spirits when wearing the Ultimate HTX.
