I'd recommend the aqua dry from Craig hopper. I buy them in regatta usually cost around 80 euro.
Waterproof thermal lined. Best trousers for golf this time of the year.

These are now discounted by (50%, down to €42.50) on the Craghopper site. I have the Aquadry (Stefan) ones for years and they're great, look the part on the golf course as well.

Decided to go for the Kiwi Pro version this time around.

An additional 10% off if you sign up to the newsletter and free delivery on orders over €80. The 10% isn't factored into delivery, so if you're just above €80 before that discount, it's still free.

Thanks.... would you normally just use these in the winter. would you be sweating in these on a wet day during the summer?

I have an over trouser in the bag that I use for summer downpours. You don't put these over another pair of trousers.

You would sweat a bit on a "nice" summers day. But an overcast and rainy one would be fine imo. They're walking trousers so designed to be comfortable in a good range of climates.

They look a bit bulky for golf, no?

Think it's a unique code Charlie!

DSJGDKL-D98GDF6-10 was mine but I've used it.

I just signed up and got the same code

Amazon warehouse is offering a further 30% off like new products , the discount gets shown right before you pay. I have used warehouse before if you order like new products it tends to be an issue with the packaging only

Last week I order a set of Macgregor CG2000 clubs and bag for €150, link to the golf section below

Nice one, was going to ask this. And would you just get them in the size you would get normal pants in? No need to go a size up?

Not really, they aren't tight for sure but I don't think winter ones are anyway.

No need to size up, there's a "part elasticated waist" on them so a bit of give. My old pair were 32, Covid and life haven't been kind and I'm 34 now and they still fit.... but I admitted defeat and went 34 for this order.

There's a belt buckle on them as well if you go the other direction.

I'll stop recommending them now in case I get any complaints!
For €43 they are a real bargain imo.

Mantis Toboggan

Lovely need a proper pair of pants for winter. Bought just enough for the free shipping and got the 10% off

Never used these before hopefully decent.

Thanks Lads, I just ordered myself a pair of the Stefan.

Feeling the pressure of making the recommendation now someone had recommended them at full price last week (I seconded) and I thought I better throw them up seeing they were half price, let me know what you think anyway.

I know the feeling as I recommend them last week.

But they are great trousers.

My 2 regulars golfing partners wear them s well.

Lots of disappointment if you called this one wrong PARlance :pac:

I should have set up an affiliate scheme with them!

I read a few reviews and there was conflicting advice on the washing instructions. Some say wash as normal, others say you must use a special detergent to protect the waterproof layer.


PARLance, What has been your experience?

Never used any special detergent Paulos and they're still perfect.

Cheers for that. Order placed now

Arw these fully waterproof?

Had started looking at boots for walking when came upon this thread. The kiwi ones fell into the online basket somehow

IMO they are the best waterproof trousers around.

Great thing is they are not overtrousers.

Thanks for this - I was actually looking for some new waterproof gear. Has anyone every used any of their jackets for golf and if so what did they think?

Pulled trigger anyway on this recommendation

I would imagine they wouldn't be suitable. Best to get one developed specifically for golf. You need something that gets right up into your armpits or as close as possible so as not to interfere with your swing.

Thanks for the recommendation, bought some last night (Stefan) couldn't help myself!

MorganIRL

Jumped on the bandwagon here as well. Hate having to pull on and off the wet covers, bought the kiwi as well just to have for the summer rains when playing:-)

AOH77A

Thanks for the heads up, just ordered a pair.

Rocket99

Thanks for the recommendation, just made a purchase too

srfc d16

Can anyone explain to me the difference between the stefan and the kiwi?
Just trying to figure out which would suit me better

The Stefan version is on offer on Amazon atm for circa €30 depending on size.

Just received the Kiwi Pro waterproof, compared to my old Stefan pair the Kiwi are probably a slightly better fit, not as much elastic in the waist, but material a bit lighter overall. Without having tested the Kiwi out, it feels nicer but the Stefan feels more waterproof, if that makes sense.

Got my Stefan pair today and fit fine when tried on. Also bought a Compresslite IV Jacket for the same price. Feels nice on. Not a Golf jacket but ideal for walking or the cold weather.

Thanks PARlance for the recommendation.

Don't you f@##ing dare.

Once again thanks OP for post. Got mine today. Covid pounds might be making them a bit snug. :-)

Mantis Toboggan

Yeah mine arrived too. Got the stefan and a couple of fleeces. Might still go for another pair of the thermal lined ones for the cold mornings.

macslash

Got mine today too but they're too tight! Love the feel of them though they're lovely and snug. I got the stefan *

Sent an email enquiring about returns. Presuming it'll be okay?

Thanks again for the recommendation

Deporhostia

Got my Stefan yesterday and it's fits perfectly. If you're in between sizes go half up I would say

Especially since lock-down 😄

Anyone get the winter lined troucers from craghoppers?

fred funk }{

Got a pair of Stefans. Bit of a strange fit, waist is fine but they sit very low on the waist, uncomfortably low and i think I would be forever trying to pull them up. I'll be sending them back.

yeah, they arrived the other day, top quality

Mine arrived very quickly. Got the lighter kiwi ones, they look like they will do the job nicely.

MorganIRL

Got 1 of each, very happy with both..

Ok, on reading their website it appears they're deliberately made that way for hiking etc.
