As anyone who’s ever been caught off-guard by a sudden deluge will attest to, a good pair of waterproof golf trousers is worth its weight in gold.
Unlike waterproof hiking pants, which often prioritise waterproofing above all else, golf-specific rain pants are designed to be even more versatile and wearer-friendly, often engineered with fabrics that breathe, stretch and move with the wearer while, importantly, keeping them dry.
