Getting ready to wrap up for winter golf? The new FootJoy Hydroseries range has got you covered with an extensive waterproof line-up.
FootJoy Hydroseries: First impressions
My colleague Alex Perry was lucky enough to visit the stunning Archerfield complex near Edinburgh to see the new range and test it out on the course.
“You never really know what else you can say about a jacket,” Alex tells me. “It’s a jacket.
“Style-wise, FJ rarely miss and this new line-up is no exception. Straight out of the bag I was really impressed by the quality – but you already knew that, because they’re pretty good on that front too.
“I’ll leave you to tell the readers a bit more and I’ll come back with my verdict later.”
FootJoy Hydroseries: The line-up
The HydroTour heads up the Hydroseries range. This is designed to deal with the worst conditions perfect for all you golfers who play no matter the weather.
It features DrySeal technology which is a double collar system with a cinch cord to keep the rain out as well as an inbuilt drainage system to keep rain off your neck.
It features a three-panel construction meaning fewer seams. The fabric also offers multi-directional stretch so you can keep your swing loose on the course.
The HydroLite is a more lightweight offering better suited for warmer conditions. It comes in five different colourways and I especially like the patterned options.
The lighter nature of this also means it folds down to a compact size making it easy to store.
Finally the HydroKnit is back and better than ever. The four-way stretch fabric and lightweight construction make this feel like a midlayer yet perform like a rain jacket.
