Under Armour Drive Pro Rain Jacket Review

As someone who has tested a wide array of Under Armour apparel recently, I can say with confidence the Drive Pro Rain Jacket is one of the brand's standout offerings.

There's really very little to criticize too harshly with several positive features and traits to consider.

Right off the bat, I'd say it looks really smart and fashionable, with the Blue Wind colorway I tested probably my stand-out choice alongside the black and midnight navy versions.

I like the contrast between the black zip on the chest and the pastel color of the main body, with the remainder of the jacket just so clean and free of fuss.

Because of the strong yet subtle aesthetics, it's definitely a jacket you can wear proudly both on and off the course. I've used it far more regularly off the course and I don't think it stands out obviously as a golf jacket.

Moving on to another key question you might have about the Under Armour Drive Pro Rain Jacket - does it keep you dry?

The short answer is yes, it's excellent as far as I've seen. Under Armour's Storm technology helps to repel water efficiently while not sacrificing breathability. I found it certainly kept my body dry but you might require more layers underneath than simply a t-shirt and jumper.

Personally, it wasn't as warm as I'd hoped and I'd dispute it being truly windproof. I might call it wind resistant instead. However, this is an issue which could be solved with more layers off the course and perhaps a base layer on it.

The other small factor against it is the lack of hood. I find it frustrating that more golf rain jackets don't include hoods because it clearly reduces the practicality of the product.

Otherwise, though, the fact the side pockets have overlapping layers (plus zips) to stop water creeping in and the wrist cuffs are adjustable means the Drive Pro jacket has plenty more going for it than not.

Continuing on with the positives, it's an incredibly lightweight jacket which is also very easy to fold and store in your golf bag. It was comfortable to wear, too, thanks to the regular fit and four-way stretch which prevented it from feeling too restrictive.

Lastly, because of the price point - which is far away from the top end of the scale when it comes to rain jackets - this is definitely an option I would recommend to any golfers out there.
