The Best Waterproof Golf Trousers

It’s not
just the upper half of your body that needs protection from the elements.
Whether you’re faced with light drizzle or driving rain – the type that comes
in sideways and leaves you soaked through – you also need a reliable set of waterproof
trousers.

The best waterproof golf trousers will help you stay bone dry in even the most adverse weather conditions. Of course, whilst we’d rather not have to pull on a pair at all, modern waterproof outwear has come on leaps and bounds in the last 15 years.

Here are some of the best waterproof golf trousers on the market.

True,
spending this much on a set of trousers might seem a little extravagant, but
you can’t put a price on staying dry, and in Galvin Green, you have one of the
most trusted golf clothing brands on the market.

Its
best-selling trousers are crafted with a GORE-TEX waterproof membrane, so
you’re pretty much guaranteed to stay dry no matter how bad the rain gets. They’re
also designed with breathability properties to keep you comfortable.

As you’d expect from such a premium brand, there are plenty of other touches that set this garment apart, such as the elasticated waist and drawstring to aid a perfect fit and front pockets with fleece lining. Meanwhile, the fabric at the leg hem is extra abrasion-resistant, so you can be sure your investment will stay in good condition for many seasons.

The name
says it all – they’re actually storm-proof. Even if you’re a fair-weather
golfer, you’re going to get caught out at some point, especially given the changeable
British weather.

With 4-way
stretch fabric, zippered leg closure and reach through pockets, every detail
has been considered, making them comfortable and hugely effective in keeping
you dry and focused on your golf game.

Other design features include an elasticated waistband and belt loops, plus you have the FJ branding on the leg and back pocket for maximum appeal. Bring on the rain!

The aim of
these trousers is to keep your temperature at 37.5°, the body’s ideal body
temperature. For that reason, they’re light and breathable – but how do they
perform when it’s hosing it down?

Well, they
have a waterproof rating of WP2000, and they’re fully seam-sealed to prevent
any moisture from creeping in. In other words, you’re unlikely to feel any
uncomfortable trickles when you’re standing over an important putt.

The 4-way stretch also means you can repeat that athletic swing of yours, despite the extra layers. Meanwhile, finer details include a front button and zip fly with velcro at the waist to help you find that perfect fit.

These
trousers have been designed for lightweight waterproof protection and
playability. The same SensorDry technology is used in many of the Ping’s other
garments, helping golfers stay comfortable no matter how bad the weather turns.

These trousers are fully seam-sealed, while the pockets are spacious and well-positioned. The adjustable waist gets the thumbs up, too, as does the zip leg opening that makes getting them on and off easy. This is no small detail, as there’s nothing worse than struggling to get trousers on and off over muddy golf shoes mid-round.

If you’re
not looking to fork out more than £100 on a pair of waterproof trousers –
perhaps you’re more of a fair-weather player – the Adidas
RAIN.RDY waterproof trousers would represent money well spent.

As well as
offering waterproof protection, they also provide 50+ UV protection to keep
your skin safe from harmful rays. After all, even the winter sun does come out
occasionally.

The design also features front and back pockets, velcro adjustment, and hook and loop leg openings, while the use of stretch performance fabrics means you’re able to move freely without feeling at all hindered.

Under
Armour’s Storm technology repels water without sacrificing breathability. They
feature an adjustable hem cord, velcro side adjusters, lower leg zips and
secure hand pockets, while the brand logo is situated on the back, completing
the look nicely.

The contemporary style is very popular with golfers, and despite being feature-packed, they’re not going to set you back a large sum of money. It’s one of the reasons why they’re one of the brand’s best sellers.

With a
fully seam-sealed stretch StormCell fabric that helps reduce weight and improve
mobility, Puma’s sporty Ultradry trousers won’t impede your swing in the
slightest.

On top of
this, they feature fully waterproof zippers and pockets, so you can keep your
scorecard dry, plus any other items you like to have close throughout the
round.

With velcro zip leg openings, they’re easy to pull on and off quickly, so you’ll never get caught out when an unexpected shower passes through.

The
premium fashion brand’s Avery waterproof trousers are a modern offering
designed with performance and style in mind. Like many other waterproof golf
trousers, they feature a technical 4-way stretch design to enhance mobility,
allowing you to move with freedom.

Meanwhile,
the fully seam sealed construction provides waterproof and windproof protection.
They’re finished with a tapered fit, zippered hand pockets and a silicone ‘JL’
bridge rear logo for added style.

This garment is a perfect example of how waterproof golf clothing has moved on from the days of baggy, uninspiring designs. In fact, J.Lindeberg is a brand that’s right up there where ‘trendy’ is concerned. 

Constructed
from a soft, NEVERWEATHERBEATEN protected fabric, these waterproof trousers
will keep you warm, dry and comfortable in all conditions.

Established
in 1964, Sunderland has a long history of creating high-performing wet weather
gear, and it’s no different with the Quebec trousers. Golfers demand a lot,
especially in terms of comfort when playing in bad weather, so the half
elasticated, cord-adjustable waistband and anti-snag velcro ankle adjuster are
nice touches.

Talking of which, everyone will appreciate the fleece-lined hand warmer side pockets, while the articulated knees that provide additional support when crouching also boosts comfort levels.
