Windproof top

[i*windows]

does anyone have a recommendation for a nice warm windstopper top, prefer a 1/4 zip.

Any particular budget?

I've purchased this recently in a couple of different colours. Top class - highly recommend.

I never really know what they mean by windproof. Isn't any jumper or jacket wind proof pretty much? Unless it has whacking great holes in it?

No!
Jacket is more likely to be so, but not 'jumper' - unless it has Gore's Windstopper membrane built in.

If you are looking at just windproof rather than waterproof I would consider a lined jumper as they can be very warm. Plenty on the market to look at.

I was given a footjoy one of these a couple of Christmases ago. Great top, meets the brief. Not the answer if to be worn in showers though.

Most windproof tops tend to be thin by nature, it's part of layering. Ping do some really nice windproof tops that work, have stretch.

I have an IJP lined Merino jumper which is pretty old but great,but I wore it when I played yesterday and the gail just cut through it, so I thought a good quality hi tech solution would work a little better.

Spend a day in Scotland wearing a jumper when a brisk North Easterly is blowing and you will see that those holes don't have to be whacking great

This is the one I have. Also have an older version that is a 1/4 zip but they don't seem to do it any more.
The full zip one is absolutely superb though and I have played on some pretty cold and windy days recently (last Sunday at St Andrews was particularly nippit)

I have a full zip one, excellent jacket that gets a lot of use winter and summer at Silloth.

I have recently moved to the Footjoy Hydroknit - does the lot ?

 

[Deleted member 16999]

Gotta be Galvin Green then.

I’d of agreed until I bought the Hydroknit top this year, prefer it to my Galvin Green tbh.

I've had 2 Pro Quip 1/4 zip tops for years, lined and showerproof, very good value.

thanks for all the feedback, I'll check out the hydroflex and also a Galvin Green. I dont mind paying if they will last a few years
