The FootJoy HydroKnit Rain Jacket delivers the comfort, stretch and mid-layer feel you expect from a performance pullover — combined with the full waterproof protection of a dedicated rain jacket. Engineered from a specially developed 2.5-layer lightweight stretch fabric, this jacket is one of the lightest waterproof outerwear pieces FootJoy has ever produced. The 4-way stretch waterproof construction ensures total freedom of movement through the swing, while a 15,000 mm water column pressure rating keeps you dry in even the most challenging on-course conditions. Available in Charcoal / Bright Red / White, the HydroKnit is the go-to wet-weather layer for golfers who refuse to let the weather shorten their round.
The FJ HydroKnit™ system is a 100% waterproof shell fabric that forms the foundation of this jacket's exceptional performance. By combining lightweight knit fabrics with a specially engineered 2.5-layer laminate construction, FootJoy has created one of the lightest waterproof outerwear garments they have ever produced. Despite the reduced weight, there is absolutely no compromise on waterproof performance — the jacket carries a 15,000 mm water column pressure rating, which ensures reliable, total protection in all wet conditions. The result is a jacket that feels like a soft mid-layer yet performs like a full-specification rain jacket.
100% Waterproof · 15,000 mm Rating · 2.5-Layer Construction
Unlike traditional waterproof jackets that restrict movement, the HydroKnit is engineered with a 4-way stretch waterproof fabric that expands and moves with your body in all directions. This design philosophy means the jacket provides the unrestricted swing freedom of a performance mid-layer while still delivering the full waterproof protection of a rain jacket. Whether you are executing a full drive or a delicate pitch, the fabric adapts to your movement rather than fighting against it. The stretch construction also gives the jacket an athletic, tailored appearance on the course.
4-Way Stretch · Mid-Layer Feel · Unrestricted Swing Motion
The HydroKnit jacket features a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish that is completely free of PFCs (perfluorinated compounds), making it the more environmentally responsible choice without sacrificing performance. The DWR treatment causes water droplets to bead up and roll off the outer fabric surface immediately, preventing the material from becoming saturated during mist, drizzle and light to moderate rainfall. This outer defence layer works in tandem with the waterproof HydroKnit shell to deliver maximum dry-weather performance in the most demanding golf conditions. The PFC-free formulation reflects FootJoy's commitment to sustainable apparel manufacturing.
PFC-Free · Durable Water Repellent · Eco-Conscious Protection
Every seam on the HydroKnit jacket is fully seam-sealed, eliminating one of the most common weak points found in waterproof outerwear. Stitched seams create needle holes that can allow water ingress under pressure, but the seam-sealing process applies a waterproof tape over every seam junction, ensuring that water cannot penetrate even in persistent or heavy rain. Combined with the waterproof HydroKnit shell fabric and the full-length waterproof zipper, the sealed seams complete the jacket's multi-layered waterproof system for total on-course protection.
Seam-Sealed · Full Waterproofing · No Weak Points
The HydroKnit features a weatherproof protected chest pocket designed to keep your scorecard, gloves and wallet completely dry regardless of the conditions. The chest pocket zipper is sealed against water ingress, providing genuine protection for any items stored within. Two side hand pockets sit at a comfortable depth to allow hand warmth and to store small essentials such as tees and ball markers. The placement and depth of the side pockets have been refined based on golfer feedback to provide the most natural resting position for the hands during play.
Protected Chest Pocket · Side Hand Pockets · Scorecard & Glove Storage
The adjustable waterproof cuffs on the HydroKnit allow golfers to achieve a precise, personalised fit at the wrist while maintaining the jacket's full waterproof integrity. The cuffs move with the swing without flapping or disrupting the follow-through, making them a significant practical advantage over traditional velcro designs. The full-length front zipper is also waterproof, allowing easy layering and ventilation as conditions change throughout a round. Whether pulling the jacket on over a mid-layer or removing it on a warming afternoon, the full-zip construction delivers practical adaptability in a single garment.
