Warm jacket for winter suggestions?


Sluggo42

Recommended Posts

It’s getting really cold in the mornings, 30-40°,so I’m looking for a warm something to wear thru the next month or two. Rain is NOT an issue, I’m just looking for something that’s warm and easy to swing in.

any suggestions?  Thanks in advance...

Sluggo, I play all winter in Texas where some days are in the 40's to mid-50's. I don't necessarily own or purchase any expensive golf specific "cool" weather jackets. I rely mostly on layers. On the coldest/coolest days I start with a thermal body layer*, then a long sleeve mock turtle, then a pullover fleece type qtr. zip jacket. Somedays if even a little colder I might wear a zip up heavy type sweater jacket thing that also protects my neck. There's a lot of stuff out there that works and doesn't cost much really. Just buy what you like and appears to be warm. Pretty simple really as the idea is to be warm but not bound-up. If wind is an issue look for a wind barrier lining on the inside of your jacket. If I can keep my core warm without much restriction I can play all day.

* I personally don't like wearing these tight fitting thermal layers but they sure work. I bought mine at Academy for not much. Same concept as UA but without the high price tag.

I second the layers. I’ll freeze on the course before wearing a thick warm jacket that does nothing but f up your swing and jack up your score. Tight thin layers are the way I go. Florida can be 40 in the am and 70 by noon. Short sleeve polo under a pullover under a windbreaker is how I usually roll. By the back nine I’ve usually shed everything but the polo.

30° is really cold?

Kidding. Sorta.

I wear shorts and a sleeveless shirt at 30°, but I’m running and I get warm.

I’d recommend some of the light fleece offerings from Columbia if you’re looking to keep it on the cheap side with decent quality. And it could double as the jacket to run to the store in.

I’m sure there are some made specifically for golf. I usually just wear my light fleece jacket.

Light layers is the trick for me with a sleeveless jacket. However, my issue is my fingers - haven't found anything yet that'll keep them warm. My most recent experience was with FJ winter gloves - fingers still got cold and they're too bulky for golf.

Can you get mittens, put those little heat packets in them and take them on and off? 

That's what I do on really cold days.

Yea, I’ve heard good cart mittens and take em off just to swing.

ive done the layering and I find that it can be bulky too. I just want that perfect jacket that keeps you warm, but isn’t too bulky or restrictive.

what do the pros wear on cold days? Just sponsor junk?

I know nothing about your style preferences, but this is what I wear, and it is warm and light. Works for 30° and above.

Patagonia R1 zip up jackets. They’re not cheap ($150ish new) but are thin, warm, flexible and come with a lifetime warranty , even if you buy it pre-owned.
I wear 1 layer under it and I’m good to go.

I played 2 weeks ago in the morning (after a frost delay) where the temps started about mid-30s and by the time i finished i was just over 40. Sun was out and zero breeze which made a big difference compared to other days. I layered with a loose fitting cold-weather Adidas shirt. Golf polo over that, and wore a North Face vest. I brought along a wind-blocking North Face jacket but never wore it. In the sun and moving around I was warm enough. Was cool a few times in the shade but nothing unbearable.

The PWRWarm jacket by puma is great.  It's a full zip with a down type body but stretch sleeves that allow plenty of freedom to move.

I’m with the “layer guys “. When we lived in the Frozen North it was a necessity but in FL some mornings 2 or 3 layers are needed.

Yeah, we have different definitions of "really cold" 🙂

I always start with UA Coldgear base layer.  For the outer layer by far the best I've found is Mizuno Windlite sweater.  I think they still make them but it's called a different name now.  Honestly though I'd look on ebay for one.  They are amazingly warm, let you swing, and can be found pretty cheap.

I’m actually only a few miles from the Patagonia place in a Ventura Ca. I like this concept, and I’ll follow up.

i like the sound of the mizuno wind-sweater too- if it’s warm...

I just ordered some footjoy winter gloves- they got really good reviews on Amazon... also bought some ice fishing gloves in case the FJ’s don’t work... haha just kidding, there for the cold mornings on the lake for the next month or two

im thinking that the gloves or mittens might be smart, because cold hands make you cold all over, and warm hands don’t. I’m also thinking a beanie cap too, to keep heat from escaping from my head, it seems gray hair releases more heat...🤔

The one thing I really didn't like about my FJ winter gloves is the elastic cuff - it's very tight.

I have to wear layers.  Like today, the course opened up at 11am after a frost delay.  Sunny, slight breeze out of the north, temp 35º; warmed up to 43º.  If I am riding in a cart, it's cold... if I'm walking, I start to shed layers by the 4th hole.  I don't really like coats; too warm and too restrictive.  If I get too hot, I sweat, then I get chilled.  With layers and an outer vest, I can peel as many as I need to stay just right.

The wind sweaters are awesome. Had 2 of them and gave them to my golf Bud when we moved to FL.
Should have kept one of them for the brutal 45’ FL morning!

Man I’d invite 40-50 and someone take this dang rain away. My home course is a lake right now. Cold and wet can’t golf well in that.

But back on point, UA has a “storm” line out that I really like especially the Daytona quarter zip pullover, and the down filled jacket. Both plenty warm and loose.

I would recommend Kjus. It's a Swiss company with roots in skiing/Alpine sports, but they put out an impressive line of golf clothing. I now have two pullovers from them (one thinner, one thicker, both bought from pro shops), both of which serve their purpose and keep you warm without impeding your swing. I assume some of their items are warmer than what I have, too. Price tag is a little high, but it has been worth it to me. If between sizes, size up - Euro sizes are a bit slimmer.

The problem with winter golf jackets (clothing) is the concept that is has to breathable.  When it's below 40 degrees the last thing i want is to feel the wind whistling thru material.  I know someone will say "wear a rain jacket".  Why can't I have a lightly insulated jacket that stops the wind as well ???

I'm with everyone else on the layering bandwagon.  For a long time I've used very lightweight silk mock-turtlenecks from www.wintersilks.com as my base layer.  These are extremely light, but add a nice warmth.  I'll generally wear a golf polo, then a wool vest, and on top a windshirt.  That's usually fine to around 40 degrees.  If it gets below that, I'll substitute a gore-tex lines wool sweater to cut the wind while adding.warmth.  Those are pricey, but its a lot better than being cold.  A few of those layers are so thin they' add almost no bulk, especially the silk undershirt, and the gore-tex layer in the sweater.  A vest helps keep the trunk insulated while having a relatively small constriction on arm movement.

I have a couple of pullovers that are fleece-lined, which is nice (and warmer than a standard pullover). The Adidas Go-To Adapt is warm and has a good fit. Nike also makes a fleece-lined jacket. I usually wear a polo; if it's cold, a base layer; and one of those. If you want something warmer, you could try something with synthetic insulation, like the Nike Aeroloft HyperAdapt, although those can get pretty pricey.

One of the guys I play with here in Yuma has both a "puffy" jacket and vest; wears the vest most of the time. One is goose down filled and the other a synthetic.  He say's the synthetic is just as warm. I've been wearing golf apparel 1/4 zip, long sleeve pull-overs and put a polar fleece vest over that to start until it warms a bit.  Of course we're talking Yuma cold which, at it's worst with wind chill might be 45F during mid-day play times.

i like the idea of the puffy jackets.  Some of the golf apparel manufactures are doing that.  Most I seen are in the front only.  I need to keep my back warm.  Most of the reviews I seen also say the wind goes right thru the material.  Designers seem to be going for the look and not function.

I use the layer approach too. Some form of cold gear shirt from ua or fj, Nike or Oakley. A polo on top of that and then either a cold gear jacket from ua or fj.  If it’s windy a 1/4 zip between the polo and jacket.

if not wanting to layer fj, adidas and puma have some good jackets

I'll probably be done for the year in two more weeks.

I'm down for nine this afternoon, though.

Playing in the cold is difficult for achy seniors.
