Rain, rain go away...

[Mr. Shank Dawg]

For what feels like an eternity now, I have been suffering from a golfing headache caused by a very large hot, wet, tropical mass of rain intent on slowing down my game.  I know other golfers in the SE region of the United States have been inconvenienced by it also.

 

To get to my question: Does any one have recommendations for the best rain gear to use for golf?  Specifically, in my hot, humid region of the country where afternoon showers are prevalent?  I have a general purpose-type rain set from Cabela's I have used but it is too bulky for a golf bag and is geared more towards sitting in a hunt stand or fishing; not moving around a golf course generating heat.

 

I would love to hear from some people who have actually purchased and used rain gear and might share some pros/cons.

 

I apologize if this topic has been covered already.  Perhaps someone knows if there is a thread I haven't come across yet (I have searched a little bit) that already answers my question.  Thanks for your time and everybody have a nice weekend.

I have a Footjoy rain suit.  I don't use it often, but It definitely comes in handy.  It's very easy to take on/off as well, so if it's only raining for 15-20 minutes, you can easily get rid of it after the rain stops.

You can come by and pick mine up if you like. Before it rots.

And by the way... what's that rain you speak of?

I bought the Footjoy Hydrolight Rain Jacket a year ago and it's perfect for the warm summer rain showers we get in the Mid Atlantic. It's a very liteweight fabric and you don't sweat to death in it. I wore it last year during a 54 hole one day tourney, that rained on us for over half of it, and I was dry as a bone at the end of the day.

That's brutal. My folks are in Tampa. It's gonna be a long summer this year down there.

 

We've been dry for the last few weeks here in Seattle.

 

I used to have UA Storm Rain gear and it was okay. I usually just use my Goretex hunting jacket and pants if I play in the rain.
