Review: Benross Ladies Xtex Waterproof Jacket

Written by  Hannah Brown on Thursday, 14 July 2011
The ladies Xtex waterproof jacket from Benross has been designed to keep you dry on the course without feeling too bulky or awkward. We put it through its paces to find out whether it really delivers.

Picture the scene: you're enjoying a round on the course, when all of a sudden the sun disappears and the sky darkens. It won't be long until the heavens open and a torrential downpour will unleash itself over the fairways - and at this point, you're wishing you'd packed a jacket in your bag instead of having to trudge back to the car.

It might be summer, but as every Brit knows that's no guarantee it won't rain. When you're caught in a downpour on the course you need a jacket that's not only waterproof but comfortable and roomy enough to take a swing in too.

Benross have certainly succeeded here: their Xtex waterproof jacket is really lightweight and it's been designed with the golfer in mind. The fabric stretches in all directions to provide enough give so that you can move properly throughout your swing. It doesn't feel at all bulky or cumbersome to wear, which is where many waterproof jackets fail to perform. In fact, it felt very comfortable indeed throughout a day's play and never left me feeling as though I had to sacrifice my technique to account for wearing an extra layer.

Well-made, the Xtex feels really durable and sturdy - which is surprising given its soft, lightweight feel. It's certainly reassuring to notice that the jacket has been well designed and produced to a high standard.

This is definitely a great all year-round jacket. It can be comfortably layered over a jumper in the cooler months to keep you really cosy, or just over a shirt when it's warmer outside. With its breathable fabric, you won't be left feeling too hot and sweaty even in the summer months.

It packs down into a small space, too, so you won't be using too much valuable space in your bag. It's certainly a great addition to your usual golfing equipment - even if only for the peace of mind of knowing that you'll be ready to play in whatever conditions the weather throws at you.

The jacket is made from 100% polyester, with Benross' Soft-Shell outer layer boasting fantastic wind protection and a two-year waterproof guarantee.
