<\/p>\n

G\/FORE is renowned for its fashion-forward, vibrant colored golf apparel, but when it comes to a waterproof jacket, it obviously needs to perform as good as it looks. I was therefore keen to find out how this hooded jacket compares with the best women\u2019s golf rain gear<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s lightweight, but the first thing I noticed is that the fabric is quite crunchy, golfers will know exactly what I mean by this! It only comes in Twilight, which is all-over navy and highlighted by bright pink taped seams back and front, and at the bottom of each sleeve.<\/p>\n

The color and curved shaping of these seams are what makes this jacket so striking. It\u2019s very, as when your arms are down by your side, even though the front and sleeve seams are separate, it creates the look of one continuous seam. I also like the way the slanted zipped side pockets in the same pink blend into the seams.<\/p>\n

Best picks for you<\/p>\n

I tested this jacket in a size small and it\u2019s very roomy, plenty big enough to wear a few layers underneath. The seams give it a shapely impression, but it\u2019s not as fitted as say, Sunderland\u2019s Whisperdry Aurora jacket<\/a>, or KJUS Women\u2019s Pro 3L 3.0 jacket<\/a>. It\u2019s also not as long in the body, which I like from a styling standpoint. This jacket is more boxy looking, and some women might prefer a longer length for more coverage across their backside.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve seen how the hoodie has become popular, and now it\u2019s great to see the number of brands producing waterproof jackets with hoods. This one provides complete coverage, but like Galvin Green\u2019s Andrea jacket<\/a>, it would be great if it had toggles to adjust the fit, as when I tried to hit shots with the hood up, while it kept my head dry, it did move and interfere with my vision. I made sure I used the Velcro tabs on the sleeves to secure the fit around my wrists.<\/p>\n

As for overall performance, given my first impression of the fabric, it is slightly more noisy than other waterproof jackets that I\u2019ve tested, but not to the extent that it was off-putting in any way. I would have liked to have tightened the hem, if anything, to stop it rising up a little.<\/p>\n

That said, it did its job and kept the rain out, albeit light showers rather than a heavy downpour, but there\u2019s no reason to believe that this jacket wouldn\u2019t perform in the most severe weather conditions. Out of all the waterproof jackets I\u2019ve tested, this is definitely one of the most stylish, but I wouldn\u2019t expect anything less from G\/FORE!<\/p>\n
