FootJoy has released new and improved HydroSeries rain gear pieces

FootJoy, one of the more popular outerwear brands in golf, is enhancing the playing experience in all wet conditions with a new and improved comprehensive rainwear lineup.

Embracing the challenge of unpredictable weather, the HydroSeries rain jackets are designed to safeguard golfers in a spectrum of conditions, ranging from gentle mists to torrential downpours. 

Powered by DryJoys waterproof technology, the HydroSeries emerges as the ultimate armor, ensuring protection for every golfer, regardless of the environment or course location. Every jacket from this series comes with a two-year waterproof warranty.

FootJoy’s outerwear seems constructed to last and these could be investment pieces that will stay with a player for years.

Elevating the HydroSeries, FootJoy is introducing the DryJoys Select, a waterproof and breathable rain jacket. This tour-proven piece sets a benchmark in golf outerwear, utilizing a crafted 2.5-layer fabric that not only reduces weight but also offers unrestricted mobility while delivering peak waterproof resilience. This fabric allows for a 4-way stretch shell with Xtreme DWR Finish and a waterproof rating of 25,000mm. This is FootJoy’s most technical jacket coming in at a price of $450.

“The new DryJoys Select is for the player who requires elite, all-weather protection,” said PJ Skurla, Director of Design, FJ Apparel. “This premium jacket offers thin, lightweight stretch that doesn’t impede your golf swing, with a soft, quiet and flexible feel.”

Among FootJoy’s latest additions is the HydroLite X, a push for outerwear comfort, fashioned to cater to warmer playing conditions. The HydroLite X not only guards against summer rain but also has strategically placed knit panels on the arms and back, amplifying the ability to move and stay flexible during your golf swing. The X has a waterproof rating of 20,000 mm and is priced at $195.

Completing the HydroSeries lineup are the HydroTour and HydroKnit rain jackets. Engineered from advanced materials, both these offerings guarantee 100% waterproof and breathable coverage.

The HydroKnit features a 3-layer fabric that balances the attributes of a high-performance rain jacket with the comfort and feel reminiscent of a mid-layer. The super stretch knit shell with DWR finish and waterproof front zipper half-zip construction gives the jacket a waterproof rating of 15,000 mm. The HydroKnit is available for $240.

“Every golfer deserves a rain jacket that thrives amidst the elements, and we leave no stone unturned in perfecting every detail to ensure every day on the course remains an enjoyable experience,” said Chad Crocker, Director of Product Management at FJ Apparel.
