Waterproof Top

OK folks not very exciting this, but I am looking for recommendations for a thin waterproof top/windbreaker type thing.

I thought the callaway top I purchased recently was waterproof, but as I found out the other day after a round in relentless rain it isnt at all.

I am looking for something quite thin, it does not need to keep me warm, just dry. I do have a waterproof pro-equip jacket, but I find it too restricting when playing.

Any recommendations?

I understand the answer is Gore-Tex.

Hi Spiffo.

I have a Mizuno Impermalite top and it is the Dogs. It is extremely light, absolutely waterproof and breathable, the sleeves pop off half way and it has a full length front zip and poppers that makes it very easy to put on and take off. Top quality at a reasonable price.

Thanks for replies gents. My new objective today is find this mizuno top in time for my weekend away outing in 5 days as I don't think I can rely on the Scottish weather.

If I can't find it anywhere I will look for something with goretex.

Thanks again
Paul

Well my visit to the varios golf shops in Edinburgh was a fruitless one for the Mizuno recommendation by Brian.

And the only ones that goretex in them I could see were the Galvin Green gear. Unfortunately I did not have £200 spare for one of their tops.

Anyway I have shopped around online and have ordered a mizuno impermalite top for £70. Im just gambling that it may arrive in time for this weekend.

If not I will be praying for a miracle of a dry weekend (yeah right).

I don't think you will be disappointed. I have worn mine in some really foul weather and it has kept everything out and is so comfortable and light. The way the arms pop off is a good feature for when it's wet or windy but warm. Typical Mizuno quality.

My new Mizuno top arrived today Brian. Thanks again for tip. Im delighted with it, exactly the kind of thing I was looking for.

Very thin and does not hamper my swing in anyway, yet to be tested for waterproofness but I dont doubt it will do the job!

Cheers
Paul.

I continue to be impressed how such a lightweight material can keep out the wind and rain so well and be breathable. I have worn it and the over trousers in some north Atlantic trawler weather and returned snug as a bug in a rug
