Padded thermal jackets

This seems to be a trend this winter and a lot of makes are doing them. Tried on a Ping and UA and they seem a decent cut and plenty of room to swing but the price tags seem hefty so I'm preferring to layer up. I think these jackets are here to stay and as a result hopefully the prices will start to come down

I do prefer the look of the non padded sleeve ones. Possibly stretch better when swinging.
Hmm
Decisions.

I found the padded sleeved ones I tried at Silvermere felt a little cumbersome compared to the non-padded models. The Proquip one looks decent

Couple of mates have the Ping version they're happy with and seems a reasonable price.

Prefer layers over something so bulky for playing in.

I like uniqlo gear
Always on the lookout for non-golf brands gear for golf. Usually a lot cheaper for same quality.

Went for the North Face Gilet. Cheaper than getting a golf branded one and, in the main, better quality.

I always had thoughts that all padded jackets would feel bulky to play in till i tried this on which felt ok and then played in it and its not bulky at all and along with sleeves not being padded its great to play in and best bit of clothing ive bought in a while.

I have the Ultra Light Down jacket from Uniqlo. Wear it casually all the time and I wouldn't think about wearing it to play golf.
It's super warm and light, but doesn't stretch in the places I'd want it to when I swing a club.
I have a UA jacket and the Nike Aeroloft jacket and I'd say you're better off sticking to one designed for golf, as it's design has been thought about when you swing a club in it.

I have an Under Armour one, and it's excellent. It's slightly diffferent to the one Phil Linked, in that it has elasticated panels under the arms and is about £30 cheaper. Designed for golf and toasty warm. Been wearing since before Christmas with no problems playing or practicing at the range in it.
I also have an older Stubert Vapour Jacket last years model which is also good, lovely and warm but not quite as flexible in the panels, albeit much much cheaper.

have you thought about one of those lines jumpers?
i got a Dunlop one from sports direct it was £10... its toasty. all warmth gets locked it so you can sweat once it warms up (like wearing a bin liner) cheap, and warm.

I got one of these for Christmas. Brilliant jacket - cannot fault it so far. Keeps me nice and warm and easy to swing in.

True to form i bought myself a lovely and very warm jacket...
well that is not quite true
I spotted one of these in at my local driving range for a cheeky £55. Thought that it would be a good investment and have more uses that just Golf on a dry cold day.

Wore it hitting balls in a freezing wind and it was lovely and toasty. Will do me for walking the dog too, so a little more versatile.
Apologies if i have sown the seed of others wanting to buy a padded jacket...

I know what you mean and that's why I will stick with my wooly tank top.
