Staff WriterFootJoy isn’t messing about this winter. The brand that’s long ruled the tee box for shoes and gloves has gone full storm-chaser with its AW’25 apparel drop, and FootJoy has clearly built it for golfers who play through the kind of weather that frightens umbrellas.
From rain to frost, the new-season lineup tightens three familiar screws: HydroSeries for downpours, ThermoSeries for cold snaps, and the Essentials range for everyday layers.
The headline act is a new flagship shell, DryJoys Select LX — a proper “zip it up and dare the clouds” sort of jacket — backed by refreshed HydroTour and HydroLite X pieces and a deeper ThermoSeries roster for both men and women.
The new spearhead: DryJoys Select LX (M) — £450
Think tour-grade armour that still lets you swing like you mean it. The DryJoys Select LX uses a premium 3-layer fabric rated to withstand 35,000mm of water column pressure while posting a 23,000 gm2 breathability score.
Translation: biblical rain stays out; heat and sweat get a one-way ticket out. Golf-first details matter here — a curved, notched neckline to keep your swing clear, cinch cords at jacket and collar for dialled fit, and a StaDry™ Grip Sleeve so your handle isn’t soaked between shots.
It’s the sort of shell you buy once and then glare at storms for sport.
HydroTour (M) — £275
Still the go-to when the forecast reads “good luck.” A bonded three-layer, four-way stretch fabric delivers the waterproofing and freedom you expect, with under-arm zip vents to dump heat and a DrySeal Collar to stop the sneaky trickle down the neck. Double-sealed seams back up the promise, and FootJoy stamps a three-year waterproof warranty on it.
Colours: black, navy, indigo blue, niagara grey. Matching black trousers available.
HydroLite X — Jackets, Hoodie & Trousers
- HydroLite X Jacket (M) — £190 | (W) — £190
Lightweight, breathable 2.5-layer fabric makes this a genuine year-round piece — layer it or let it run solo. Engineered knit panelling frees up the turn; an overlapping hem cuts bulk at address. Three-year waterproof warranty. Five colour options for men and two for women (additional colourways at footjoy.co.uk). - HydroLite X Hoodie (M) — £190
Adds a modern profile with three new men’s colour options. - HydroKnit Jacket (W)
Three women’s colour options deliver the same “modern look, proper protection” brief. - HydroLite X Trouser
Available in black and navy.
ThermoSeries — more heat, smarter fit
- ThermoSeries Lightweight Insulated Jacket (M) — £160
- ThermoSeries Insulated Jacket (W) — £175
The popular Insulated Jacket — billed as the warmest FootJoy has ever made — picks up a new colourway. New Lightweight Insulated Jacket and Vest use T-2 Thermolite Insulation to balance warmth with mobility. The Hybrid Jacket returns with a refined silhouette: stretch thermo fleece, quilted woven panelling and fleece-lined hand pockets. On the women’s side, new Insulated Jacket and Vest also carry T-2 Thermolite with curved hemlines for a clean, modern fit.
Essentials for men and women
The everyday capsule gets deeper: more thermal midlayers, jackets, vests, shirts and accessories — the sort of kit you reach for at 7am without thinking, because it just works.
