A large portion of the continental U.S. will see some serious rainfall over the next few days as former Hurricane Polo pushes a huge shower system across the country.
But a little rain never stopped an avid golfer from teeing off, right? If you're planning to brave the elements this week or anytime this fall, it's important to have some weatherproof golf gear handy. You'll want to make sure you're outfitted with the proper apparel and equipment needed to keep playing, regardless of what Mother Nature throws at you.
Check out these six items that will help you go low in any conditions.
Zero Restriction Covert Waterproof Hooded Q-Zip
Zero Restriction is one of the few golf brands that has made outerwear and weatherproof layers its one and only priority, so while most of their items are quite pricey,
you know you're getting top-notch gear. That's true of the Covert Waterproof Hooded Q-Zip, which is a pullover, unlike most other full-zip raincoats. Its fabric has a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) chemical finish and it features a stowaway hood with a wire brim that can be zipped into the collar, making it versatile and adaptable to any conditions you face on the course.

When the rain is really coming down, it can be more difficult to get a reliable grip. You never want to sacrifice a good shot because you're having trouble holding on to the club. That's where a pair of the FootJoy RainGrip Golf Gloves comes in handy. Made with QuikDry technology, these gloves feature an autosuede knit palm that conforms to your hand and the club for better control.

Levelwear Repel Jacket
Levelwear's Repel Jacket achieves premium water repellency (hence the name) thanks to its three-layer bonded fabric that disperses water on contact to keep you dry and comfortable when the weather hits. Finished with highly-rated waterproof polyester and complete with fully-taped seams, this jacket even features adjustable cuffs and hem so you can find the perfect fit over whatever clothes you have on underneath.

Ping Single Canopy Umbrella
Of course, it wouldn't be a proper rain gear guide without including an umbrella. If you're the type of golfer who prefers to walk and will finish the round regardless of how badly the weather wants you to stop, then investing in a good golf umbrella is a must. The Ping Single Canopy Umbrella features a simple-release deployment system and is small enough to keep in your bag at all times.

Sun Mountain Cirque II Golf Rain Pants
Sun Mountain has always been a leader in weatherproof golf gear, and they continue to improve their technology to provide comfortable apparel that fits well and promises to keep you dry. That's the case with the brand's new Cirque II Golf Rain Pants, which are made from a waterproof fabric that still manages to remain breathable. One thing that is annoying about rain pants is that they often make a lot of noise, but that's not the case with the Cirque II, which promises a quiet walk while remaining stretchy to allow full mobility.

Johnnie-O Hydro-Pel Rain Coat
Just because rain gear has to be water-resistant doesn't mean it can't be stylish. Johnnie-O achieves both with its Hydro-Pel Rain Coat, which is built with a water-repellent outer shell and a soft heathered jersey interior that provides a comfortable feel on rainy days. Its low-profile design makes for a sleek look that will go with any outfit, while the drawstring hem ensures that it doesn't get in the way of your golf swing.
