Mens Golf Sweaters and Vests
Cooler weather is coming. Maybe some light rain. The breeze has picked up and the sun is playing hide and seek behind the fluffy clouds. The good news is mens golf sweaters and vests are in your closet and today is the day you'll need some extra warmth.
And you have drinks and dinner planned for after the round. Whether it is an early spring round or squeezing in another round before the fall turns cold, you are sure to find the perfect golf vest or sweater to keep you warm.
4 Kinds of Men's Golf Sweaters
Men's layers should allow complete range of motion so they can’t be too tight. On account of the need to freely swing the club, these should be somewhat stretchy. On the other hand, too loose is not ideal either.
Cardigan
The ability to button it up or not gives a great deal of flexibility in changing weather conditions.
Pullover Crew Neck
These are very effective at keeping you warm as breezes are cut off before they chill.
Pullover with Zipper
A quarter zip offers an attractive compromise between a crew neck and a cardigan.
Pullover V-Neck
The big factor here is accessibility. No zippers or buttons to negotiate with. Just put it on and go.
5 Important Features in Men's Golf Sweaters
- Fabric: Either cotton or a cotton/poly blend is largely a matter of personal choice. Moisture wicking fabric is a real bonus if it does get a bit warmer. There are very different weights so it makes sense to have light, mid, and heavyweight options available to adjust to changing seasons.
- Elastic: Around the base and the cuffs, look for good quality that will hold its shape even if it goes through the washer and dryer a few times.
- Design: With an enormous variety, there are plenty of choices between solids and patterns. Some classics like argyle fade in and out of style but never go away completely.
- Construction: Check to see if the sleeves and neckline are well attached to the body of the sweater. Higher quality will give you years of wear without worrying about ripping out a seam.
- Logo: For some people, this is important to search for and for others, not so much. You know your own personal style so go with it.
4 Options for Golf Vests
Golf vests make a great deal of sense. They allow arms to swing freely and provide that layer to keep the core warm.
- Full zip golf vests: Maximum flexibility to adjust to the conditions. Look to see if the collar is able to protect the neck from breezes.
- Quarter zip golf vests: Quickly pull on. Some ability to adjust for changes in the weather. Easily transitions to indoor wear.
- Button/Snap up golf vests: Designed to allow the best of all worlds. Often seen in heavyweights for cooler weather. Many offer water shedding fabric.
