FAQs
What makes the HydroTour jacket waterproof?
The jacket utilizes a 3-layer fabric with a waterproof membrane and seam-sealed construction, achieving a 20,000 mm waterproof rating. This ensures no water penetrates the fabric.
How does the DrySeal Technology Collar work?
It features a double-collar system. The inner layer has a cinch cord to create a seal around the neck, while the outer layer has drainage holes to direct water away, preventing it from running down your back.
Is this jacket suitable for warm weather?
While waterproof, the jacket includes underarm venting and breathable fabric to manage heat. However, it is primarily designed for cooler, wet conditions. For very warm weather, lighter rain protection options might be more suitable.
How often should I re-apply a DWR treatment?
This depends on usage and care. When water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric surface, it's a good indicator that a re-application is needed.
What is the warranty on this jacket?
The FootJoy HydroTour Waterproof Golf Rain Jacket comes with a 3-year waterproof guarantee.
Can I wear layers underneath this jacket?
Yes, the jacket is designed as part of a layering system. You can wear base layers or mid-layers underneath depending on the temperature and weather conditions.
Troubleshooting
Jacket appears to be leaking water
Ensure all seams are properly sealed and that the outer DWR finish is still active. If water is soaking into the fabric, it may be time to re-apply a DWR treatment. Check that the main zipper is fully engaged.
Reduced breathability or feeling clammy inside
Clean the fabric according to care instructions. Check the underarm vents for any obstructions. Ensure you are not wearing excessive layers underneath that could overwhelm the jacket's breathability.
Collar is not preventing water entry effectively
Adjust the inner cinch cord of the DrySeal collar for a snugger fit. Ensure the outer collar is positioned correctly to allow drainage.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Lubricate with a silicone-based zipper lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: No specific setup is required for the FootJoy HydroTour Golf Jacket. It is designed to be worn as an outer layer over your golf apparel. Ensure the main zipper is fully closed and adjust the DrySeal collar if necessary for optimal rain protection.
Compatibility: This jacket is part of FootJoy's ThermoSeries layering system, designed to integrate with other FootJoy base layers and mid-layers for comprehensive weather protection. It is suitable for men and is built for adult use.
Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash cold with a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the fabric's performance.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the waterproof membrane.
- Re-waterproofing: Periodically, when water no longer beads on the surface, apply a technical fabric re-waterproofer spray or wash-in treatment, following the product's instructions. This helps to restore the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
