The FootJoy HydroKnit Full Zip Men's Jacket delivers the comfortable, next-to-skin feel of a mid-layer combined with the full waterproof protection of a premium golf rain jacket. Engineered with a specially crafted 2.5-layer lightweight construction, it is one of the lightest outerwear pieces FJ has ever produced, while remaining completely uncompromising in wet-weather performance. The four-way stretch fabric moves with every part of your swing, making it the ideal companion for spring, autumn, and showery summer rounds alike. A bold red colourway ensures you stand out on the course, whatever the conditions.
The FJ HydroKnit system is built on a specially engineered 2.5-layer lightweight stretch fabric that forms a completely waterproof outer shell. This advanced construction minimises weight while maximising fit, comfort, and protection, making it one of the lightest outerwear pieces FootJoy has ever created. With a water column pressure rating of 15,000 mm, the shell delivers reliable waterproof performance across the full spectrum of wet weather conditions — from drizzle to downpour. The result is a garment that feels like a technical mid-layer but protects like a dedicated rain jacket.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is applied to the outer face of the HydroKnit fabric and works as the first line of defence against moisture. The polymer-based coating causes water to bead up instantly on the surface and roll away, preventing the outer layer from becoming saturated and heavy. This technology provides maximum protection in the toughest golf conditions, maintaining the jacket's lightweight feel even in prolonged wet weather. The DWR finish works in conjunction with the seam-sealed waterproof shell to deliver optimal and consistent dryness throughout your round.
The remarkable 4-way stretch fabric is at the heart of what makes the HydroKnit feel so different from traditional waterproof golf jackets. It allows complete freedom of motion in every direction — forward, back, and side-to-side — so that the jacket never restricts or interferes with your swing mechanics. Whether you are executing a full driver swing or bending down to pick up a tee, the fabric moves naturally with your body. This combination of stretch performance and waterproof protection is what gives the HydroKnit its unique position as both a mid-layer substitute and a full rain jacket.
The full-length front zip makes the HydroKnit jacket supremely easy to put on and take off as conditions change throughout the round, without disturbing your clothing layers underneath. A protected chest pocket provides safe, dry storage for your scorecard, golf glove, or personal items without exposing them to the elements. Two side hand pockets were added following golfer feedback and are ideal for keeping your hands warm and dry when the jacket is your outermost layer. Together, these design details elevate the practicality and wearability of the HydroKnit far beyond a basic waterproof shell.
