FJ, the #1 outerwear brand in golf, introduces a new rainwear category called FJ HydroLiteTM. Designed to protect players from wet conditions on warmer days, FJ HydroLite is the lightest rainwear ever produced by FJ.
As with all FJ apparel and outerwear, FJ HydroLite is made specifically for golf. The versatile 2.5-layer fabric is stretchable, waterproof, windproof, breathable and highly packable. It combines four-way stretch shell fabric with a waterproof barrier and smooth finish on the inside. The ultra-lightweight construction is ideal for layering and packing in your golf bag, yet still delivers waterproof protection up to 20,000mm of water column pressure.
“All of our outerwear pieces are designed to complement our highly successful layering strategy that aims to Make Every Day Playable,” said Whitney Trimble, Director of Marketing, FJ Apparel. “FJ HydroLite is ideal for players in all conditions – whether it’s a layering piece in cool, wet conditions, or as an outer shell for protection during warm, wet days.”

• 2.5 Layer Bonded Fabric is stretchable, lightweight, waterproof, breathable and highly packable
