Top Rain Apparel and Performance Gear for Golfers

Best performance rainwear and rain apparel



After an extremely windy first two days of the Open Championship, Scotland has added a new element to the equation. No matter how much you enjoy watching the professionals battle the rain from your comfortable couch, being on the course is a different story. Some people shrink away from a little rain, but we don’t think the heavy stuff is gonna come down for quite a while. If you’re reading this, you’re not one to call off a tee time just because there’s a small chance of rain or a little nip in the air. Here at Golfweek, we’ll weather the weather whatever the weather, and keep you as dry as possible on the course. Check out our list of best rain gear below and our list of best golf rain jackets as well.

Peter Millar Laddie Rain Pant

Peter Millar – Laddie Rain Pant

Price: $200

Why we like it: These Peter Millar rain pants look like your normal pair of golf pants, but act like the more common pull-on rain paint shell. Fully wind and waterproof, these rain pants are a more stylish alternative to the common golf rain pant.
