Zero Restriction
So with the bad weather and the cold comming in the near future i have been thinking about what i will be able to wear that will protect me from the elements late in the season. Being a big guy, 6'3" 245 i always find my jackets restricting in some ways and i always find myself thinking about it when i swing.
Was in Golftown the other day and they had the Zero Restriction jackets on sale and tried decided to try one on, WOW for the first time it felt like i was not wearing anything at all. No pulls or tugs when trying to swing a club it was great.
So now i am thinking about picking one up but they are pretty pricey. Wondering if anyone on here has any experience with these jackets?

My only experience is that they never go down in price...

You might have to wait for the Boxing Day sales. Either that or find out what golf clubs actually sell their jackets. I find the clubhouses really try and get rid of their inventory in the month of September. I bought a Sunice gortex rain jacket last September, 60% off at Cedarhill.

Zero Restriction is by far the best raingear when it comes to being able to swing freely. Well worth the money!

Hey Jeff, yep i have been looking at these the issue is they dont carry this model at GT so i'm not sure how it fits, i'm sure its fine but since i have had so much trouble finding a jacket i like to play in i'm not sure i want to take the gamble with out trying it first.
Funny i have no problem doing that with a golf club tho!

I snagged a sunice tornado jacket in XXL on sale at GT on Friday in a panic in preperation for the OG/TGN Ryder Cup. It was perfect over the weekend. I was dry & confortable despite the heavy rains. I had goretex pants, the jacket, the rain golves, waterproof shoes, and to top it off a ridiculous Mossy Oak Camo gore tex hat which I snatched at the Belleville hunting and fishing store.

Zero Restriction is definitely top notch.
The SunIce gear is probably next in line when it comes to wearability. If you go the SunIce route the classifications are:
Typhoon: OK in light rain or a short down pour.
Tornado: Good for prolonged heavy rain.
Hurricane: You get to help Noah load the arkNot fat anymore. Need to get better at golf now!

Bought some ZR pants earlier this season. They're excellent... highly recommended. As noted earlier in the thread though, they ain't cheap.

Yeah i know they are pricey, but i should have them for a long time! I hope!
Jeff i tried on the SunIce stuff and although i think they look great i still feel restriced in them, although they didnt have any of the hurricane in my size. That is they one thing about the ZR's, not the most stylish jackets but i guess during a major rain storm the last thing i am woried about is what i look like.

I have both the pants and the jacket. The pants were bought last year and I have had the jacket for at least 5 yrs. It is by far the best rain gear out there. If ur gonna do it do it right, it makes playing in the wind/rain/cold that much easier.

I went to the Blackwater factory outlet store in Foymount Ontario last year and bought a pair of gore tex water proof pants for $10 (granted, I think full retail was close to $90) They roll up into a ball the size of a tall boy. While I agree that the jacket needs to be golf specific, the pants imo don't.

agreed, pants are pants as long as they are waterproof.
