Golf waterproofs were firmly on the agenda for Padraig Harrington during his time as an amateur in western Ireland.

Golf waterproofs played a significant role in Padraig Harrington's early career, reports the San Francisco Chronicle.

Readers are told of the professional golfer's time competing at Rosses Point on western Ireland's Atlantic coastline.

With the exposure to the ocean, playing conditions occasionally reached such extremes that Harrington would huddle with his competitors using the walls of a bunker as shelter, the article claims.

And protection from the elements came in the form of golf waterproofs coupled with layers of further undergarments.

Harrington told the publication ahead of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am: "One of my strengths is to adapt to unusual conditions.

"As much as I don't like the cold and rain in the forecast this week, I have a much better chance of winning the tournament if it's like that."

Glenmuir's performance golf waterproofs could be the ideal way to protect against the elements thanks to their use of Rain Bloc fabric.

This helps to keep water out while allowing the body to breathe and carry away any excess moisture.
