The Best Winter Golf Mid Layers, Hoodies, Jumpers, Tops

By: Golfshake Editor | Tue 13 Dec 2022

It used to be that gearing up for winter golf conditions comprised of a thick, PVC waterproof over an equally thick knitted jumper which would have the advantage of keeping you warm but costing much mobility. What’s more, if water seeped in, the jumper would swell up and you’d end up chaffing and itching, and wet. Not ideal.

In this winter buying guide, after first getting hold of a base layer, we’re rounding up some of our favourite mid layers and jumpers that will keep you warm while avoiding these traditional problems, allowing you to swing with freedom and letting sweat wick out while preventing water leaks.

FJ ThermoSeries Midlayer

FootJoy’s midlayer option, designed to be pressed between a base layer and an outer shell, provides protection from cold while also allowing plenty of stretch for flexibility with the swing, comfort and a rich texture and detail which have it looking the part.

Mizuno Breath Thermo Move Down Gilet

For those who like the gilet style, this layer by Mizuno would be an ideal addition to your winter wardrobe. It fits snugly around the body, trapping warm air, but does not sacrifice flexibility. It’s also versatile and can be worn just as effectively away from the course as on it.
