    Cross make better wet weather gear than FJ. Cheaper as well. Highly recommended

    Mizuno is also very good at wet weather gear

    Thin layers. And you warm up soon enough, as long as its not too windy. A beanie keeps your head warm, a quality stretchable vest or gilet keeps the body warm and doesn't restrict swinging too much

    Teeing off first group in the frost for 4 months of the year, I have finally relented and bought mittens for this winter, but others also use the little hand warmers.

    As for wet weather gear, spend more than you wanted and you won't regret it. Most important is waterproof shoes.

    There is a very good sale on ATM on the R&A website selling off the last of the Royal Liverpool gear.

    Agree with Wayne, spend plenty on the rain gear and shoes, it is worth it.

    I still have Mizuno rain gear, 15 years old, and ECCO shoes. HIghly recommend both.

    merino wool beanie is another have to have and a right hand ski glove , wol glove , for the elbow breaker days. keeps them fingers full of blood.

    I wear a jumper and beanie in winter. Haven’t worn long pants for a couple of years.

    Shorts and shirt. That'll do you up to about 4°C.

    If it's colder than that why the **** are you out there?

    Sometimes it’s better if you can’t see where your ball lands
