If you live in the UK, you will know how bad the months of November - March are for us golfers. Not only are the courses sometimes shut, but the wind, rain and even snow is enough to turn anyone off from venturing outside.

However, if you are lucky enough to get out on to the course, you better wrap up in some warm and waterproof gear... that temperature gauge will be struggling to get out of single figures and you don't want to be soaked to the skin! Consequently, it's worth investing in some of the best golf waterproofs, or even of the best golf rain jackets.

The problem lies in which model, though. Admittedly, waterproof jackets do tend to be a bit pricier, but not only can they be worn on the course but also off it. This makes them a very versatile option and one where you can really use them to the best of their abilities.

Whether you are tackling the course in the winter months, taking the dog out for a walk, or making your way to the pub, a waterproof jacket can be used for pretty much anything, not just golf.

We begin with two Galvin Green models, which are available with up to 38% off in the run-up to Christmas. The brand make some of the best golf waterproofs on the market and, for under £200, this offers excellent value.

Both are super stylish, so can be worn off the course as well as on it, with Galvin Green's Gore-Tex technology used in a number of their models to much success! If you are after a waterproof jacket that will last the test of time, there are not many better options out there.

Although this is a small saving, it's rare to see the Rain Rdy jacket on sale! It's one of our favourite models, with our tester stating: "The protection from the wind and rain is fantastic, and we also love the comfort, stretch, durability and the overall look of the jacket. It can also be used off the golf course which is a big plus." Along with this jacket, the Rain Rdy is also available in a hooded version, which you can check out here.
