Best golf rain gear: Waterproof rain jackets

Peter Millar - Shield Half-Zip Rain Shell

April showers bring May flowers but they also bring delayed tee times. However, you’re not one to let a little bit of rain keep you from the game you love.

Whether you’re a scratch player, a weekend warrior or just starting out, you’re going to want some solid rain gear. All it takes is one wet round without a rain jacket, and you’ll never make the same mistake again.

When it comes to rain gear, especially for the summer months — breathability and flexibility are the top two factors. There’s no point in putting on a jacket to stay dry if you’re going to sweat right through it.

Of course jackets aren’t the only thing you’ll need to play through wet conditions. Be on the look out for our upcoming lists featuring the best rain pants, rain shoes, rain accessories and more.
