Top 6 Waterproof Jackets
Fight the bank holiday blues with these waterproofs
Words: Daniel Owen
As Morrissey once sang, “Heaven knows I’m miserable now”. And as the heavens have opened, it’s chucking it down outside. When all we really want to be doing is following a little white orb around a prepared field of grass with holes cut into it, making said orb disappear down a hole 18 times. But help is at hand as we’ve got some of the latest waterproofs for your perusal to help keep you dry when you want to let it fly…
Galvin Green Albin
£300
We love the bright colours of this GORE-TEX jacket. We tend to find the half zips jackets are better when you’re in a rush too, with the rain coming down you don’t want to be faffing about with a zipper. The jacket features fabric a mesh lining for playability, comfort and protection against the elements, and there is les fabric around the front, so it won’t interfere with your swing. S-XXXL

We wore these the miserable week that was the Open Championship this year, and not once did anyone get wet. That’s about as a good a recommendation as we can make. The one layer jacket is lightweight and is made made from a fully breathable Cocona material. At £100 it is an absolute steal. S-XXL
