FOOTJOY Hydro Tour
Billed as the ultimate storm-proof rain jacket , FootJoy ’ s Hydro Tour aims to withstand extreme weather conditions , via its proprietary DrySeal Technology .

The three-panel construction has fewer seams — plus premium , multi-directional stretch fabric , providing full range of motion . “ We wanted to design a rain jacket that was the ultimate seal from the elements ,” said P . J . Skurla , a senior apparel designer at FootJoy . “ The combination of three-panel construction with the DrySeal Technology collar minimizes any chance of rainwater reaching your body , keeping you dry and comfortable in the worst conditions .” $ 295 ,
