Summer has come and gone, Autumn is in in full swing and just over the horizon is the cold, wind, snow and rain of Winter. As golfers - calling myself a golfer might be generous - the winter can be a difficult time: attempting to play well when the wind is howling and you're being pelted by rain is tough even for the best players. 

Which is why we should all be thankful for the latest golf waterproofs from some of the games finest!

Above is the new Pro-Flex offering from ProQuip. As well as keeping you as dry as a bone, the Pro-Flex range is also made with Flex Technology: a premium stretch fabric that allows you the freedom of movement needed for your swing. 

It's available in both blue (as shown above) and grey if you're looking for something more muted. 

The new Galvin Green Albin is similar to its Pro Quip counterpart as it also guarantees a waterproof material without sacrificing playability. Gore-Tex stretch fabric is used to ensure you don't lose any of the flexibility and comfort you need to feel during your swing. Available in four different colours so there's plenty of choice.  

The Sunice Albany Classic has the classic look its name suggests it should. It claims to be 25% lighter and 25% stretchier than any GoreTex jacket available.

If you prefer something lighter then the Under Armour Armourstorm is the jacket for you. Don't let the lighter look fool you though, the Armourstorm technology makes it waterproof and breathable. 

Nike's offering is the Hyperadapt Storm-Fit, a jacket that's designed to repel wind, rain and snow so you can stay dry and comfortable. Also available in grey and blue.
