What’s the warmest thing you wear?

[inc0gnito]

It’s autumn now. Which is basically winter with extra leaves. What do you wear on the golf course when it’s cold without it feeling too restrictive or cumbersome?

Any miracle items of clothing in particular?

 

[GreiginFife]

Not really. Compression base layer, polo shirt and quarter zip mid layer usually suffices. Even in Scottish cold.

I’m tend to run hot anyway so I don’t tend to add many layers this time of year. So if I felt a bit of chill I’d wear a thin under armour style mid layer, or I have an ultra lite weight down Gilet that I’ll put on to keep my core warm and still have short sleeves on.

Even in the depths of winter I’d probably only wear a base layer with a think jumper over the top or a wind breaker.

This for me as well, but it has to be really cold though to even entertain it.

It's very much not winter yet - I'm still wearing shorts. However, in the coldest of weathers I tend to wear a thin baselayer, polo shirt, midlayer-type jumper, and then a gilet over the top. Four layers on the core and only two thin layers on the forearms essentially, so I can still swing ok. My legs don't really get cold so just the one pair of trousers are normally fine. I'd never wear more than 4 layers on top or you feel like the Michelin man.

When its proper cold (not like now as still in shorts) it would be double thickness trousers, Cold gear sausage skin top, a polo then pure new wool jumper and half sleeve windtop on that.

18°C and sunny in the south today so still shorts and t-shirt weather.
When it gets to the point that it's 0-9°C in the mornings I'll be putting on a lightweight merino wool sweater and ultralight down jacket. Neither will be golf or sport specific clothing so they are half the price and actually do the job properly.

The only 2 bits of winter clothing needed in this country. Merino wool is exceptional for warmth and breathability, I even wear Merino socks for work for that very reason and a lightweight down jacket will provide all the insulation you need.

I don’t buy any winter golf clothing either, all my winter get up comes from Uniqlo top quality merino wool and down clothing for really good prices. Sadly this year there’s be no winter golf for me

The most I wear is a base layer, a polo and a fleece..I don't generally feel the cold much...

Yep. Very boring, but when you discover merino wool socks it's a game-changer all year round. Feet never get too cold or hot and never get sweaty or smelly. They cost more but last for years.

 

[jim8flog]

Still late teens temps here.

When it drops to single figure temps I go with thermal long johns and vest as base layers. Cotton Goretex top layers to keep out any wind.

I like several loose layers rather than the modern elastic base layers.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Gilet. Game changer

I use mine a lot in spring an autumn. Keeps your body warm but your arms are free. Mine happens to be a FJ one, Christmas present, but it doesn't need to be a golf one. It's a thinnish one but it does the job perfectly

My gilet is from Uniqlo as well actually. It appears very thin so easy to fold into the bag, but still nice and warm. Think my merino wool baselayer was from Mountain Warehouse, but also have a couple of Castore ones that were about 8 quid each on County Golf.

 

[nickjdavis]

As little as possible.

Base layers make me too hot so I avoid them like the plague. Usually in the depths of winter it will be a thermal loose fitting shortsleeve undershirt, long sleeved polo and a thin wool jumper.The

If it's Baltic then I've got a thermal longsleeve jumper. If its windy then a lightweight windstopper.

More often than not though I find myself removing layers after half a dozen holes.

Mine came with its own little packing back that clips inside the inside pocket that you can’t even notice foods down to literally nothing. Quality bit of kit for such a low price.

 

[Backache]

What tends to create most cold is wind and wet, paticularly in combination. Decently windproof and waterproof layers are pretty important.
If its at all wet or perspiring weather, cotton next to skin sucks out heat because of evaporation. I find a thin merino base layer helps.

 

[Billysboots]

ZeroFit base layer - got one last winter and it was an absolute game changer in keeping the cold at bay.

 

[spongebob59]

Tog24 merino base layer, Uniqlo roll neck ,Galvin green insula midlayer and a mands stormwear gilet.
Nothing else needed

 

[JonnyGutteridge]

I have Galvin Green thermal base layers, a top and trousers, which I would swear by. I often wear them in winter to go on walks too, it’s incredibly effective.

neck warmers also worthwhile

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Depending on temps

But it’s always about layers

Base layer then polo then mid layer and gillet

Then if colder I have some thermal mid layers
