HLINC Golf’s Rain Jacket Has a Clear Purpose, and a Candid Limit

HLINC Golf’s latest rain jacket is tailored for the unpredictable weather of Ireland and the UK, where golfers often face prolonged rain and wind. Founder Ian Forrester emphasizes the jacket’s limitations in warmer climates, noting it’s best suited for cooler, wet conditions.

The design incorporates feedback from professional golfers, who tested the gear extensively during coaching sessions. Notable adjustments include a full-length zipper, a larger chest pocket, elastic waistbands, and an ankle zipper for better mobility.

Forrester highlights the importance of practical details like a longer back hem for bending over to tee or putt, ensuring comfort and functionality during play. The jacket’s identity comes from its use of eVent Fabrics, a technical outdoor material, combined with these thoughtful construction choices.

Early responses from players at the West of Ireland amateur championship have been encouraging, though HLINC acknowledges these are preliminary observations rather than formal test results.
