"The rain suit is one of the most important pieces of equipment in the serious golfer’s bag," stated Bill Godden, director of apparel, Ahead.

The jacket also features waterproof stretch shoulder inserts for easy movement throughout the swing. The adjustable Velcro® and elastic cuffs feature storm sleeve inserts to keep arms dry. The waterproof protected inside zipper pocket allows golfers easy access to scorecard and glove. The storm collar is designed to keep water off the back and neck. The rain jacket is available in two colors, cadet and dark navy, and sizes Small through XX-large. Suggested Retail for the rain jacket is $110.00.
The waterproof seam-sealed pants are also made of 100% rain-proof fabric with waterproof zippers and protected front pockets. The half-elastic waistband gives a comfortable fit.
