The ifrothgolf review
FootJoy's top-tier waterproof golf trousers from the HydroSeries range. They use a 3-layer Hydrolite stretch fabric rated to 20,000mm, with fully sealed seams and YKK Aquaguard zips, and they are cut to be worn either on their own or pulled over your regular trousers when the heavens open.
What's great
The fit and freedom of movement are the standout. Reviewers and owners consistently call them among the lightest and comfiest waterproofs they have worn, with stretch that moves naturally through the swing rather than flapping or restricting. Waterproofing holds up properly in sustained rain, they pack down small enough to live in your bag, and the 3-year warranty backs the build quality.
Worth knowing
They are genuinely awkward to get on and off while you are already wearing golf shoes, even with the leg zips undone, so you are best putting them on before you lace up or finding a bench. They are also a premium spend at around 139 pounds, and if you only see rain a couple of times a year a cheaper pair will do the job.
The verdict
If you play through British winters and shoulder seasons, these are about as good as waterproof trousers get for swinging freely while staying dry. The on-off faff is the only real gripe. Worth the money for anyone who refuses to let weather cancel a round.
