Rain covers for golf bags
Our rain covers page brings together our tips for protecting a golf bag from showers: waterproof covers for trolley bags or stand bags, fastenings that withstand the wind, openings that allow clubs to be taken out without uncovering everything. Everything you need to keep grips and pockets dry until the last hole, then maintain the cover so that it stays waterproof for a long time.
Dry grips, even in the rain.
Protecting the grips and contents of the bag
In the rain, the first enemy of a golfer is the water that runs down the sleeves to the grips: a wet grip turns in the hands and makes it hard to control the face at impact. The rain cover fits over the top of the bag and the club heads like a hood, then descends over the pockets to protect everything inside, from the scorecard to the balls. By preventing water from accumulating at the bottom of the bag, it also limits rust on the clubs and mould in the compartments, which can damage the fabric over time.

Cover for trolley bag or stand bag
You choose a cover based on its type of bag. Trolley bags, which are wider and taller, require a spacious cover that allows the trolley straps to come through at the base. Stand bags, which are narrower, only need a lighter cover, as long as it allows the legs to unfold and the straps to be accessible. A universal cover, adjusted by either a cord or elastic, fits most bags. Some bags come with their own matching hood; otherwise, a cover packed into a pocket can be pulled out at the first cloud and protect the bag in seconds.
Material, opening and care of the cover
Most covers are made of nylon or coated polyester, lightweight fabrics that fold down to a small size. The seams should be welded or sealed, otherwise water will seep in at the joints. A zippered or flap opening on top allows you to take out a club without uncovering the entire bag, and a well-fitting elastic edge prevents the cover from blowing away in the wind or slipping off during play. After the round, you take it off, shake it out, and leave it to dry flat before folding it up: if stored damp, it will get stained and start to smell musty.

Frequently asked questions
When should you put the rain cover on your bag?
At the first few drops, before the water reaches the grips: a grip that's already wet remains slippery even under the cover. Keep it handy in an outside pocket to put it on in seconds between shots.
What to do when the grips are wet?
Wipe each grip with a dry towel just before striking, then replace the club under the cover. A spare towel kept in a sealed pocket of the bag stays dry throughout the round and takes over from the first one.
How to dry your golf bag after a downpour?
Take out the clubs, open all the pockets and turn the bag upside down for a moment to drain the water from the bottom, then leave it in a well-ventilated room. Avoid the radiator or hairdryer, which can harden the fabric and distort attachments.
Does a rain cover also protect from the sun?
It shields the top of the bag and the grips from ultraviolet rays, which dry out rubber, but a waterproof fabric retains heat. In dry and hot weather, it's better to remove it to allow the bag to breathe and avoid condensation.
How to re-waterproof a rain cover?
Wash it in warm water with a mild soap, rinse it, and then let it dry. Then spray a textile waterproofing solution on the outside: when water no longer beads on the surface, it’s time to revive the coating.
