Anyone any views on this? £19.99 would they be worth the price (think P&P is £12 on top)

dont have any wetgear at all.

Sounds too good to be true to be me. A good "breathable" rainsuit is worth spending a few bob on. I have a Sunderland set which must be about 8 years old now but it is as waterproof as the day I bought it.
I suppose you hav'ent got much to lose for £19.99 but I cant believe that it is fully waterproof and breathable.

When I started playing I spent many miserable years trudging around in numerous cheap sets of rain gear, none of which was any more than showerproof. More than 15 minutes of drizzle and I was soaked. Each time I looked for an improvement I pushed the boat out a bit further, up to about €80 or 90 and was still getting wet. Then in a fit of madness/ sense (delete as appropriate) I forked out almost €300 on a Proquip suit and haven't been wet since.

If you've no rain gear at all, and fancy yourself as an all weather golfer 20 lids might be worth a gamble but IMO you should view it as a stopgap until you can buy a quality suit. Cheaper suits can turn out to be waterproof but in my experience if they're not breathable you just end up getting wet from the inside anyway due to perspiration and humidity.

I'm by no means a golf gear snob, there's not a club in my 7 year old bag that's less than 3 years old, but I try to play all year round and the €300 suit is the best money I've spent. So far I've had 3 dry years out of it and there's no reason to expect that I won't see another few.

My €0.02.

I have used both Sunderland and Galvin Green - both excellent.

A good set of raingear is a worthwhile investment.

About as useful as a chocolate fireman id imagine.

Harrington's Kartel suit is the best in the business - he spent 9-12 months developing it with their designers, a few of our pro's have them and they swear by them.

It needs to be seen as an investment, but in terms of staying dry, inside and out, it's the best.
