clothing for cold weather

Recommended Posts

What are your recommendations on lightweight non-restrictive and warm clothing - keeping in mind a reasonable budget.  Springs and falls up here start off pretty cool so I like ot layer a few lighter weight things but it always feels restricting.  What are some good recommendations?

Under Armour, Callaway, and Puma here. I usually grab it at the local golf store or online during the Spring sales.

I wear the UA Cold Gear mock quite a bit.  Had that and about 4 other layers on Saturday including a knit hat and mitts - it was in the low 40's and windy to start.  Felt sorry enough for the cart girl that I bought a couple things to tip her even though I didn't really need them.

Love the Duluth stuff.  There is a Duluth Trading Post 25 minutes from here.  I have a number of shirts and jeans. Haven't tried the fleeces but usually looking for some wind proofing so maybe with a light wind jack on top.  ALthough we have finally made it into summer I hope.  Was 80 last weekend.  Woo hoo!

Also been getting my kids for Christmas some quality clothing that will last .  I don't know how much they really appreciate it now but in 15 years when it is still a favorite they'll know.

The biggest challenge for me is teeing off when it's high 40's/low 50s, but 2 hours later it will be in the 60s and climbing.  I like to get to the course early enough for a solid warm-up, but that means a UA Coldgear mock, then a polo, then a fleece, but I'll roast in that once it warms up, and I hate stripping down to get that mock off and put the polo back on.

I have too many UA cold gear shirts to count; some pullover, some half zip. I also have Nike & Puma sweaters for those mornings@Getoffmylawn mentioned: I save the the long sleeve under the polo for days when I’ll want it on the whole round and go with a sweater when it’ll be too hot halfway thru.

You could find a nice and affordable Under Armour on Amazon or eBay; you have to only pay attention to what you're ordering (read on description and see the consistency). Of course, there are some risks when you're blindly ordering from e-commerce platforms, but that's the price you have to pay if you're looking for cheap items. Many people say I'm uncanny because I usually wear formal suits like these https://www.gentlemansguru.com/. However, I can't do anything with it because I appreciate style more than comfort. Sounds stupid? Maybe.

Temperature dictates the type and number of layers I wear.  This time of year I don't go with too many layers as morning temps start out in high 30's, low 40's but get's to 60's by noon.  I hate bulky layers, so I wear layers that I can peel off easily:  
base layer (maybe), golf shirt, thin merino wool sweater, wind vest, maybe a light wind breaker jacket if wind is unusually high.  I love my Nike Bandon Dunes waterproof golf boots for keeping my feet warm, even if it's not wet.  However, I heard Nike doesn't make them anymore so I will have to start looking for a replacement.

For me in cold weather is always my hands. I can put on enough layers play, wear something on my ears, and put heating pads on my socks.  That said, my hand tend to really hurt when it gets below freezing.

Thermal long sleeve, fleece full zip, and a totally windproof lightweight jacket and I'm good down to freezing. Biggest thing, however... Walk in cold weather. It will keep you warmer than any gear you can buy.

Agree 100%.  Have something windproof, on the outside, and walk.  Walking will pretty quickly allow to shed a couple layers that may be needed to stay warm just standing around waiting to tee off, or combating the wind chill of the moving cart.

Even though I currently live in Key West, Florida I spent most my life living in Rochester, NY.  I can't tell you how many times I played golf in the cold temperatures and snow.  I've always had good luck with Zero Restriction Wind Stopper products.  They have light weight jackets (like the M3) as well as heavier fleece for cold weather.  The integrated Gortex lining does a great job limiting any wind through their products.  I especially like the folds in the back that prevent the jackets from interfering with your swing and the integrated cuffs which limit cold air entering through your wrists.  They can be pricy new, but I've had great luck picking up slightly used Zero Restriction jackets on eBay for very reasonable prices.

I go with a warm base layer that has some merino wool in it. Then I add a golf shirt and the just wear a wind proof layer on top of that and that usually works well. If it is really cold I add a mid layer as well. Just something a bit thicker like a pull over sweater.  Keeps me warm right down to the freezing mark.
 

Wear a toque as well (I think in the US you refer to it as a beanie). You will be surprised how much this helps in keeping you warm.

I was a long distance runner when young and always ran through the winter so I have a lot of experience here. There are a few basic principles: a wicking layer close to the body. Ski gear from LL Bean (mid weight is my choice for golf). Then a heavy layer, a solid fleece pullover. Top it off with a vest, maybe down if it’s real cold, or a windbreaker (even something light), or both if you ride in a cart on a day with real windchill. My usual group and I are crazy enough to do that.

It starts with base layers, either 32 degree's from Costco, or, Uniqlo Heattech. Wool is great for baselayers, too, but, can be much more expensive. Basically, avoid cotton, which, can retain moisture, and, make you colder.

Midlayer is heat regulation. Lightweight fleece or midweight fleece pullovers work for me depending on the temperature. A vest could be enough depending on the weather conditions.

Outer layer helps to hold heat in. Wind and rain protection. I live in the PNW, so, water proof is a must have, but, I usually carry a lightweight wind breaker, if it starts to get too warm.

Literally have tried them all, best I have come across is from a Japanese company called ZeroFit. Their Ultimate base layer can get me through mid 30's to low 60's very comfortably. It is a bit snug without feeling restrictive. Very soft and does not make you sweat when the temps rise. When spring comes around, I switch the Move model. Keeps you just warm enough for the 50's to low 70's. I promise these will be the last base layers you will ever buy.

Live in Phoenix area. Mornings now with windchill in the low 30's but rarely freezing. If it is near freezing there is usually a frost delay which means we don't get to play until the sun is well up and warm. Wear Lands End mock turtleneck and Eddie Bauer rugby shirts. I have no idea if Eddie Bauer still sells the shirts but they are perfect for cold weather. Mine have to be 20 years old so thank you Eddie Bauer. Both do not restrict a swing. I am 70 and still get to parallel on the backswing. We walk and it warms up to the high 40's to 50's by the end of the round so this is very comfortable for me. I note there is some who won't wear cotton but I am all in. I know it doesn't breathe as well as the new miracle fabrics but if I start to sweat I take a layer off. It has never made me colder and is a renewable resource. I usually wear cargo shorts but have recently added a couple of pairs of Amazon standard cargo pants for when it looks like staying in the 30's for most of the round. 

I don't know what I would add if we ride because I have a cart cover which can get very warm once the sun is up. So I don't worry about it.

I purchased (2) of the Under Armour Men's Cold Gear Mock Neck Compression Shirts in the fall.  They are very warm, comfortable, and still allows you to move freely - highly recommend

When it comes to finding lightweight, non-restrictive, and warm clothing on a reasonable budget, there are a few things you should keep in mind.

First off, look for materials such as lambskin or goat suede which are soft and flexible without sacrificing warmth. Secondly, consider jackets with quilted linings or even removable liners so that you can adjust your level of warmth as the seasons change.

One great option is the classic bomber jacket style in leather which typically features a relaxed fit and ribbed cuffs/waistband for added comfort. This type of jacket looks great layered over everything from t-shirts to sweaters and can be dressed up or down depending on your needs.

Another option is a leather moto-style jacket with leather pants that has been updated with modern touches like asymmetrical zippers or perforated detailing for breathability. These jackets usually have slim-fit designs but often incorporate stretch panels along the arms/shoulders to allow for ease of movement.

If you're looking for something slightly more formal than a casual jacket, try searching for tailored blazers made from suede or lambskin leather. While not as warm as some heavier jackets out there, these types of pieces still provide enough insulation to keep you comfortable during chilly mornings/evenings while maintaining an effortlessly chic appearance.

When shopping for lightweight non-restrictive & warm clothing within a reasonable budget remember that quality should always come first no matter what style you choose!
