EdRocknik 0 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Ed / New York Mizuno Jacket, Puma Pants - don't remember what model(s) Non stop pouring rain in a tournament. Went through 2 pairs of rain gloves (wish I had 3), umbrellas flying everywhere, tons of standing water and it was late fall so the 50 degree weather felt like 30.. had to dry my clubs out for a good 3 days in the basement after that day..

hartrick11 632 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Been a wet winter in so-cal but the rain usually ends when we turn to spring, and we might not see more than 2-3 days of rain until October so I'm going to sit this one out and let those who have to deal with much worse weather provide better insight than I could.

WeeIceman 0 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 1. Jon from California but I go to Galway 3 or 4 times a year. So I would love support Galway. 2. Current rain gear - Footjoy Hydrolite jacket and Under Armour rain paints 3. Worst rain - Lahinch in Ireland in 2014. It was side ways rain. It was so bad even the local Irish golfers left and went into the clubhouse for a warm Irish Coffee. On the "Klondike" hole there is a small wooden box with whiskey in it. We definitely drank some of that, but kept on drudging through the rain storm. Damn the sails!! Link to post Share on other sites

golfergirl1 40 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Hello! My name is Stacy and I live in the Seattle area...rain gear is a must have, a go-to, an every day part of my golf and I'd love to test your product. I play daily and if not on the course I'm practicing. I own a pair of Adidas rain pants and a Sun Mountain rain jacket are two different fabrics and provide adequate protection but certainly not ideal as the properties and materials are not same. If you're looking for an opinion for your ladies "line", I'd love to be selected. I have played in absolute downpour at my home course on a weekly basis. If I waited for clear, blue skies golf would suffer and I'm not about to let that happen! Driver: Ping G LE Irons: Callaway Big Bertha Callaway X Hot Putter: Ping Crazee Golf shoe: hundreds!

Live in the Northeast PA. Weather over the last week has been snow high winds and rain. I wear the pants every day walking my dogs. They are AWESOME.. So warm and comfortable. The do not make the usually slushing sound when you walk with them. The wind yesterday was whipping around 30MPH and I do not feel anything on my legs. The seams are great, no penetration of air or water. Just wish I could be playing golf but weather permitting. LOL.. Link to post Share on other sites

Richbrady15 0 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Rich from Salt Lake City, UT. I currently have a few different rain gear setups. I use my severe Arteryx GTX jacket in heavy rain and wind. In Utah the weather changes quickly and frequently so I use my Underarmour windstrike jacket when it’s looking like sporadic weather. I don’t currently have any waterproof pants I just “tough it out”. I’ve played golf in a lot of rain. But the worst was probably my wedding day a few years back. All my guys were ready to quit and I wasn’t about to let them off the hook on my wedding day. It was in June, it was really cold, windy and wet. If I wasn’t working I’d be playing in the cold rain today because my local course just opened back up! Link to post Share on other sites
