Best Golf Rain Pants 2024

Sizes: S-2XL
Colors: 1 (black)

+ Extremely lightweight
+ Easy to adjust via elastic waist straps
- No fleece lining in the pockets for warmth

I really like the simplicity behind these Under Armour Golf rain pants. At the end of the day, these are pants that will predominantly be worn in the winter and will see their fair share of mud splatter, so having rain pants in brighter colors or with more pattern really is somewhat unnecessary.

These rain pants feature the same rain repellent technology as the Cloudstrike Stretch jacket and performed excellently in keeping me dry. These rain pants are made from 2.5 layer-bonded fabric, which is extremely breathable and lightweight, ideal for taking on and off and storing in your golf bag when they’re not in need.

+ Excellent fit, lightweight and stretchy
+ Very good waterproof protection
- A little tricky to get off

One of the stand-out features of the FootJoy HydroTour is they can either be worn over another pair of trousers or on their own. My preference throughout the winter has always been to wear waterproof trousers on their own - there is a belt loop for this and the fit is snug enough to work really well. 

Also, because of the lightweight material used, they can easily be stored in your golf bag ready to be used whenever the weather turns. As for waterproof protection, they performed really well in this department - but for the premium price-tag you would certainly hope so. Perhaps more impressive is the quality of the material - they certainly feel like a quality pair of waterproof trousers. 

Sizes: S-XXXL waist, 29-35 leg
Colors: One

+ Great fit and adjustability
+ Zip pockets
- Only one back pocket

Ping’s SensorDry 2.5 Graphene pants comes with the innovative Graphene technology, which allows the pants to be incredible lightweight yet ultra warming and fully waterproof. It’s a game-changing technology in golf wear that makes these undoubtedly some of the best golf rain paints you can buy.

You get two front zip pockets, one of which has a section that allows you access to your pants below if you’re wearing them. Unfortunately there’s only one back pocket, like most pairs of rain pants, but that is zipped too so that’s a nice bonus. You get adjustability on the leg to help you ease them on if you’re wearing shoes and the heavens have opened. They’re very soft, stretchy and lightweight so super comfortable and they do exactly the job that you’d hope they do.

+ Comfortable
+ Good protection
- Tricky to get off

The DRYLBL Rain Waterproof Trousers pair great with the DRYLBL Jacket from Puma. The trousers are 100% waterproof giving you a dry round on a wet and rainy day. The fit of the trousers is very comfy and fits over other Trousers easily, with a elasticated waist band making them easy to fit with a popper button. 

Any zips are fully sealed to stop any leaking and they include pockets for accessibility.When we tested these trousers we found them comfortable to wear and swing in, however getting in and out of them was difficult with the sticky interior catching on the shoes even with the zips fully up. Other than that they did exactly what you would expect from a waterproof trouser.

Sizes: S-3XL; Short (M-3XL); Long (S-3XL)
Colors: 4 (Black, Navy, Sharkskin, White)

+ Outstanding protection
+ Size options to suit everyone
+ Lightweight and warm
- Pockets a little small

We were very impressed with this set of Galvin Green waterproof pants. As expected, protection was faultless throughout testing, but it’s the little things that were on the money here. First of all, the sizing was perfect. 

At just 350 grams, Galvin Green’s Arthur pants delivered premium performance in a lightweight and unrestrictive bundle. On top of that, there is plenty of adjustability around the ankle and waist, which means they can be further tailored to the wearer’s requirements. They are easy to get on and off, even over golf shoes, and the front pockets are fleece lined for some extra respite from chilly temperatures. 

Sizes: S-2XL
Colors: 1 (navy)

+ Top-quality look and feel
+ Perfect adaptability on the leg fit
- The weight is a touch heavy

Stylish and extremely comfortable, the construction of the Rain Walker Pant is the result of extensive research into preparing the best-possible protection for the 2023 US Walker Cup team at St Andrews. This premium-quality garment comes at a premium price, but you get what you pay for. Everything about the construction, appearance and features gives me the confidence that I am being protected from the elements. 

I was particularly taken with the leg fastenings which allow you to adjust the fit to be exactly how you want them over your regular golf pants. I found the comfort, protection and maneuverability while playing to be first-class, and I would be equally happy wearing them while out walking in the middle of winter. 

Sizes: 3 standard, petite, tall (S-2XL)
Colors: 1 (black)

+ Stretch was superb
+ 100% recycled materials
- Pockets do feel a touch small

As you would expect from the name, these pants are prepared for all weather conditions because of the Rain.Rdy technology which helps block out water and wind, ideal for those colder, harsher conditions out on the course. 

In my testing they certainly delivered this, and other elements I liked were the ankle zips which made adjustability very easy, the lightweight feel of the pants both on the body and in the bag, and also the degree of stretch in the fabric was a huge plus point. I felt like I could get into any stance easily without restrictions. They are also made with 100% recycled materials which should always be applauded, but the only negative here is the size of the pockets, they do feel a touch small. 

Sizes: S-3XL
Colors: 2 (Black & Midnight Navy) 

+ Super stretchy
+ Quick drying material
+ Excellent breathability
- Pockets take a while to get used to 

Abacus says that 37.5 technology works to improve the microenvironment inside the garment. It allows the vapor to be forced through the fabric quicker, keeping your body and the garment dry. A climate of 37.5° Celsius and a humidity of 40-60% is created – which, Abacus claims, is the ideal comfort zone. That’s the science – but does it work? Yes – absolutely.

They’re extremely breathable and incredibly light. Lengthy zippers on the sides of the legs make them easy to take on and off without having to remove your shoes. The velcro tabs also help to personalize the fitting and keep the wet out.

Sizes: S-3XL, 27-31" leg
Colors: 2 (Black & Midnight Navy)

+ 2-year waterproof guarantee
+ Excellent waterproof pockets
- Overly designed belt loops not required

These Evolution Waterproof Pants from Stuburt are a very impressive performer with loads of tech and design clearly having gone into the product. 

Stuburt gives a two-year guarantee that the product will stay waterproof and you can tell that the pants have been well-produced with sealed zips all over. A key test was to see how easy the pants could be put on and taken off while wearing golf shoes, and it passed with flying colors with the helpful large zips at the end of each leg meaning there was ample room.  The waist has an elasticated band and velcro adjustment straps, but the belt loops are a touch unnecessary. 

Sizes: S-4XL
Colors: 1 (black)

+ Seam sealed
+ Lightweight
+ Abrasion resistant
- Can be a little noisy 

Arguably Galvin Green's best golf rain pants, the Andy's are seam-sealed and 100% waterproof and windproof but they are also breathable on the course. One thing that is different with the Andy pants is that they are less bulky. Their lightweight nature makes them extremely easy to swing in and store away when not in use. 

There is a smattering of Galvin Green detailing which gives these pants a subtle style edge, while the adjustability at the bottom of each leg means they can be tailored to fit just how you like them. The drawstring and elasticated waist aids comfort and extra abrasion-resistant fabric at the bottom of the hem was particularly useful.

Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 2 (Black & Navy)

+ 3-year waterproof guarantee
+ Adjustable leg width  
- Can feel tight around the thigh area

As waterproof pants go these are better looking than some, but as ever with this particular golf product do they work? Well they are covered by the Oscar Jacobson Weather Protection System three-year guarantee on the garment’s waterproof qualities, so there is peace of mind if making this purchase. 

The buttons around the ankle and the hidden zips are nice touches, we did feel that some may find the thigh area slightly restrictive, but there was plenty of room around the elasticated waist. A very solid performer if your budget can extend to the price point. 

Sizes: 8 waist sizes (29in to 43in), 2 leg lengths (33in and 34in)
Colors: 2 (Black & Navy) 

+ Comfortable
+ Lightweight
+ Elegant
- White band round pockets

Comfortable, practical, slim and lightweight and with plenty of pockets, these are excellent waterproof pants. They can be co-ordinated with the Inesis Men's Golf Waterproof Rain Jacket to provide a full set of waterproofs. Having worn them only in light rain, they were given a further test in the shower by putting cards in the pockets and firing jets of water at the zipped-up pockets from almost point-blank range. The cards remained bone dry. The pants are slim, which gives a sleek look and leaves less material flapping around to catch the wind. They are also quiet to walk in. There are belt loops and a hidden elasticated band, with a Velcro fastener, to adjust the waist size.
