very expensive for a oem material. I'd personally be wanting a gore tex or paclite jacket at those prices.

Yeah they look great... and fitted too rather than baggy around your torso, like most golf rain gear.

Care to elaborate? The term above I understand is gore tex which I take to mean breathable but rain proof.

Gore Tex is a material that you have to license to use in your product adding to the cost. Imo it's by far the best waterproof material for golf.
It's breathability isn't great, but it keeps you dry.

Climaproof is an adidas in house material. I have a running jacket and it's ok but not as good as gore tex imo. It's a little more
breathable but doesn't bead as well.

Eg North Face's cheaper jackets are their in house Hyvent waterproof material, their dearer ones are gore tex.

+1 for goretex, it's usually well labled if a product is made from it and would have the logo beside the product on the website etc.

galvin green for me anyway but i'd have to see it in a shop before i'd buy it online as sizing of raingear is vital,

also i think those ones with detachable sleeves are too fiddly and rarely do guys strip em down,what i would say is buy the best top/suit you can stretch your pocket to, if you look after the good raingear you'll get 10 yrs out of it and pick up a few bits every couple of years

i have a good quality gore tex galvin green suit 3 years old,
also have a lighter waterproof pants that i generally wear teeing it up in the winter anyway
a short sleeve footjoy waterproof must be 7 yrs old
and a year old wind buster from galvin greene,

just throw in the suit always and maybe wear one of the others if necesary,but i think building up your gear is as valuable as building a bag and adding to it bit by bit,

or maybe i just hoard too much golf gaer

You can never hoard too much golf gear.:rolleyes:

I bought a Sunice Gore Tex suit earlier this year in a half price sale, cost me about e270 which was a bargain.

I have to say it's the best golf investment I have ever made, breathable, warm when needs be and doesn't let a drop of water in..

I hate wearing wet gear but this stuff is light as a feather and doesn't sag.
