Apart from the obvious - being waterproof - a waterproof suit should be light, breathable, windproof and have room in the right places not the wrong ones.
The best materials to look out for are gore-tex and teflon. Both are lightweight and waterproof, windproof and breathable. FITTING THE JACKET - This should be comfortable across the chest, waist and shoulders. It should not go further down than the waist as this inhibits certain shots and certainly putting. There should not be any more than the minimum of material gathering over the stomach as again it can impair certain shots. There should be plenty of extra room underneath the armpits, which will allow a full turn and free movement in the swing. The less the rustle from the material, the better. THE TROUSERS - Comfort around the waist is imperative. Many trousers are elasticised which allows a little ‘give’ to take account of variances in the waist size! The leg should reach down so it covers the top of the shoe heel when you walk. No further or you are liable to put a spike through the material. A useful addition is a zip at the bottom of the trouser leg, which lets the player to put on and take off the trousers according to the conditions and without removing shoes. Waterproofs are expensive, so expect to pay between £100 and £300 for the better quality suits. You will appreciate the investment one day. |
