Warm Weather Rain Gear

sheppy335 · January 3, 2011

Who makes the rain gear best suited for warm weather? I am tired of dying of heat exhaustion in my rain jacket in the summmer.

Sun Mountain "Rainflex" is the best I have found.

Coming from someone in that industry, I will tell you that Greg Norman's EPIC rainwear is the best stuff on the planet to date. Came out of the military and is amazing. Wish my company had that technology.

Trust Chillidog. He definately is the authority on this and any other clothing issue.

Cheers!

Are these from the same tech? http://www.tgw.com/customer/category/product.jsp?SUBCATEGORY_ID=15793&PROD_ID=14142953&CID=MC&LNK=MC-GPS&mr:trackingCode=B88CE096-5AAA-DF11-92F8-0019B9C04BE4&mr:referralID=NA

I can't find Norman's anywhere for sale other than his site that doesn't have any photos.

I have a Zero Restriction short sleeve pullover Goretex rain shirt . The pants have zip off legs to make shorts. They work perfectly for rainy days in the South and Southwest when it is humid as all get out to begin with.

I've coveted a fully rain proof vest for awhile, and finally found an old DryJoys Tour Collection Vest. I've not played in a down pour yet, but hope this cuts down on how hot it gets. It is very comfortable and easy to swing in.

Bump. Any more information on Epic? Still can't locate any Norman Collection Epic and no other gear other than the one I linked here.

Sheppy - Yes - the Sun Mountain "Rain flex" is the stuff the player's wore at the Ryder Cup. However, i think the company is getting a bad rap becasue the gear is not suited for torrential downpours. The stuff is waterproof and I can attest that ist works fine so long as it is not pourng out. For that, you do need gore-tex. Trust me - I have tried many rain gear clothes and the Rain flex is definately good becuse is allows you to play in the warm weather without getting overheated. If you look on rockbottomgolf.com, they have pullovers for $29.99 and they were originally $160.00. They are a steal at that price. Good luck. .
