Most comfortable rain jacket to swing in

[C_rad]

I am looking to upgrade my mizuno rain jacket. It is really nit comfortable when i swing. Any recommendation for a jacket that has a european fit, waterproof, more comfortable when you swing and doesnt cost 600$?

 

Thanks

I just picked up a ProQuip PX1 on their mystery sale for $50, it is significantly more comfortable to swing in than the FJ jacket I had before.

I just got a Kjus Dexter 1/2-zip and it is feather light with great stretch, and is quiet as well. If you read the huge "best rain gear" thread, it will let water in in a downpour but should be great for conditions you'd actually golf in (mist / drizzle). I got the gray one for $129 on sale on Kjus's website.

Another vote for ProQuip - I recently purchased the light weight (forget the model) but it is outstanding. On sale for $79 and yes 100% waterproof. I like the FJ pants but not their jackets (too big for me).

I acquired a new Footjoy jacket this winter. Here in California with all our global warming and drought (sarcasm) and it's been excellent. It's thin but very warm. This is the black model with white piping and blue trim...very dry in a squall....

I picked up the packable linksoul rain jacket this spring. Style, comfort and mobility are top notch. It's only 10k waterproof though, so wouldn't be great for really bad conditions.. price is rock solid though if you use code ERIK33 (33% off) at checkout.

I have a zero restriction which offers zero restriction whiled swinging. Packable, lightweight, silent.

 

What's a "European fit?"

Something that doesn't look like your playing in a tent.

 

I own a Kjus dexter half zip and it has been great for me, they can be had at great discounts so if you are someone who just needs a rain jacket every now and then they are worth a look at.

Footjoy.

Love the Linksoul. Very stylish and comfortable to play in.

I have no problems with my Zero Restriction raingear. I have both the latest goretex which has stretch ability, and also the models from a few years ago which didn't have stretch material but instead had pleats built into the shoulders so when you made your swing you weren't restricted. Simple but effective.

A bit pricey but my Kjus Pro 3L is very lightweight and easy to move it. It isn’t restrictive in any way.

FootJoy Hydrolite with zip-off sleeves. Super lightweight but still wind/water proof, hardly notice it's on when swining, and the zip-off sleeves are great for those warm summer rains.

I’m not gonna play in a downpour but I will brave a light shower. I have a Zero Restriction 1/4 zip that works great. Doesn’t have that hard, brittle feeling like some rain gear.

Kjus Pro 3L. I wear it when it’s not raining as an outer layer. Not many waterproofs do that.

I just use my Patagonia Torrentshell rain jacket. Packs down pretty small in the bag. Flexes enough so you can still put a good swing on the ball. I usually walk so a well designed hood is very important to me. It's never left me wet when stuck in a down pour on the back nine. Base price is $130 I believe, and you can usually find it on sale. Lifetime guarantee and free repairs are an added bonus.
