Part of the tradition of lawn bowls is that it has its own characteristic approach to clothing. Bowls clothing is as much about the games history as what the player actually wears. Bowls players needs to be smart with no gaudy colours or prints. They also need to be comfortable with ease of movement. When it comes to bowls waterproofs the clothing must be practical, and hard wearing too.

Bowls World’s full range of bowls clothing are suitable for indoor and outdoor games but particularly in the UK, where the weather is so unpredictable, bowls waterproofs are recommended for the serious player.

Rain no longer stops play and once a game has commenced it will play out until the end regardless of any alteration to the weather. It is therefore highly unlikely for a game to be stopped because of bad weather, so for today’s bowls player having bowls waterproofs is essential.

We stock bowls waterproofs for men and women from top manufacturers such as Emsmorn, Taylor, Henselite, and Drakes Pride. Our bowls waterproofs can deal with any wet weather situation, from jackets, trousers, skirts, gloves and hats. We also have other outdoor bowls clothing such as pullovers for the cold, sun hats to shield your eyes and of even all weather gloves.

Here’s a selection of our bowls waterproofs and outdoor clothing range for both men and ladies.

Bowls Waterproof Jackets

Men’s and ladies waterproof jackets are made in both, Drilite or Ventilite fabrics. Our main brands are Taylor, Emsmorn and Drakes Pride. Until now many bowls players didn’t like to wear waterproof jackets as they hampered movement so as a result players would only put them on when they had no other option.

However, up to the minute fabric technology has made bowls waterproofs easier to play in and much more comfortable to wear when the rain sets in.
