Testers Wanted: Galway Bay Rain Gear

Awesome opportunity! Gotta have the raingear for mountain golf in these parts! 

As a newly retired public school employee, I am now working at a golf course in the cart barn. I will have all kinds of opportunities to test these while working and playing. Part of my school based job was the girls and boys golf coach for 4 years. During foul weather, I wore my Galeton Repel Rainwear. Great for coaching but not for playing. So now that I am playing 4-5 days a week, I really can test it. 

Was looking at the new line from Galway Bay just yesterday as I’m on the plane to Ireland a week from today! Weather is unpredictable there in the fall. Obviously the test is not in time for this trip but would love to test this for my next golf trip to Dublin!  Good luck to all the spies who are selected!

Great company, love the gear. Whom every is selected.will enjoy these items!!!

Galway Bay constantly had some of the highest rated rain wear in the industry and I have no doubt these items will perform. I think it's cool they took member feedback from the last test and made improvements based on that. This should be a good one! 

Thanks to the forum staff and Galway Bay for the opportunity!

I have some sunice in the bag but it will dry rot before I use it here in the desert. Would love a nice set for Bandon Dunes in October but hate to take a spot from someone that could put it to good use a little more frequently. Good luck!

Good luck to all that apply!! I'm waiting on that "never sweat at the course again" suit to come out for us southerners

Well, well, well. Looks like I finally have a chance to wear something other than a trash bag when playing in the rain! Now, I’m not saying I’m the Tin Man, but at my age (which is, let’s just say, older than dirt), keeping my drawers dry on the course is a top priority. And yes, I mean from the rain—let’s not get carried away here.

So, let’s do Santa golfer a favor and keep him dry out there! Because, trust me, nobody wants to see a FOBU (Fat Old Bald Ugly) guy scrambling for a towel in the middle of the fairway.

I Live in Galveston Tx, I work at a public course there, we are able to play pretty much year round. I would Love to test one of your products.

I live and play in the Pacific Northwest; it is raining right now! I am currently wearing Dry Joy by Foot Joy. They work very well in the light to medium level rain we normally get here.

I have a nice set from Zero Restrictions for these days when there may be some snow added to the mix.  

Rainy season is just about to wrap up down here in FLA, but would still love to be part of this one.

Holland is a very wet country (even half the country lies below sealevel ) so, with autumn rain on the doorstep,  I'd love to test the new gear

I play golf in North West Washington, the rainy and cold season is already starting; these would be a excellent addition to my equipment as I do not stop playing just because it's raining.

“The Corrib Jacket in particular includes changes that were direct results from feedback given in our previous Forum member review.”

 

I hope this means they got rid of the “poofiness” around the belly/mid section. I love my GB rain jacket but am forever moving it out of the way when putting. 

this would be great i love playing in the rain and my shell is too hot sometimes. I use Toadz by Frogg Toggs and love it but there is no little ventilation. i also just have REI gortex rain pant.

Oh love to test it, rain season is starting in the Netherlands, lots of opportunity to get wet. (ps. will promise to do an ultimate test at one of our waterholes, dipping it in baby)

Raining season is coming in quick in the Seattle area! Would love some good golf rain gear.

good luck to all of you who love to play in the rain.

I currently have a Sun Mountain set. It's not bad, but it's not breathable at all. Our golf season is between mid/late October and the end of April. Out of the six months we can play outside, four are traditionally wet. And those are the best months temperature-wise without the extreme heat (Well, as extreme as our heat gets for us in Northern New York). When we get breaks of sunshine and temperatures get into the 40s, some courses will open temporarily, and some will be free to let us get out. I have played in temperatures this past year between 46 and 98. Spitting snow in winter to driving wind and rain in the Spring. We have it all. When the course first opens in the spring, we don't wear golf shoes but muck boots. And you better bring a lot of spare junk balls because you're guaranteed a LOT of them are plugging.

It’s brutal. And we probably wouldn’t even deal with it except I think after six months of being cooped up in simulators it just doesn’t even matter as long as you’re outside.

Galway Bay is definitely the premium rain gear of the Golfing world. Great opportunity for the MGS community. Good luck to all and stay dry!

Another good reason why I live in Alabama.  We get rain but we can pretty much play golf year round.

I have a little bit to go before I retire from the state here and then we are headed south! At least for the winters.

It's crowded here in San Diego but golf heaven.  Four of the 5 biggest clubmakers, KBS, Evnroll, Indi Golf (wedges), 5 Golfmart stores, Torrey Pines, Scotty Cameron land of snob, and now a PXG store.  Come for a warm easy winter.  Rarely goes below 45 f.  Titleist Performance Institute, too.   I camped at Massawepie in Boy Scouts a few years ago.  Survived the blizzard/freeze of 1977 in Cleveland on Lake Erie.  Zero f for a whole week.
