Winter clothing

[inc0gnito]

Where do you guys buy your golf clothing?

Looking for something warm but not restrictive to my golf swing. Any recommendations?

Was thinking gillet idea but with arms. Maybe something like

ProQuip ones are very good

They have the Gillet body to keep you warm and the arms are like under layers - really good , keep you warm but don’t restrict

Or

The FJ ones are nice

Sunderland and Sunice are two other makes that do very good jackets

Seriously, in winter it's not a fashion show, get down to primark and buy a £15 gilet, function over form every time when it's baltic.

Hi
I bought a couple of Adidas climaheat 1/4 zip jumpers that are v warm & not restrictive as have some stretch in them - been pleased with them . Adidas seem to size big - i am 38" chest and have to buy small.

You need a base layer / compression top.

You can pretty much wear your normal stuff on top. No eed to get led a merry dance buying the latest 'winter gear', gilet, stormwear, etc unless you have the dough and fancy it.

I'd like a nice down type coat but haven't found one that works for me yet, most aren't waterproof, so stick with base layer and standard golf clobber.

Amazing how much nonsense the golf industry pumps at you to get you to buy the latest stuff.

Base layer
Mid layer
Outer layer
Windproof
Waterproof

Don't believe the marketing guff

Uniclo and/or Decathlon both have good base layers & mid layers - at a fraction of the price of mainstream golf brands.

Thanks for suggestions so far. Last year I wore standard winter clothing which were ok but lacked the flexibility required for smooth golfing.

Never taken in by any hype. want something warm, flexible and looks nice.

A thermal base layer is probably a good shout. The footjoy jacket is nicest pick so far, tho the cheaper brands have price on their side!

Have to agree on the proquip gillet with bade layer arms. One of the best purchases I’ve made. Not restrictive at all and definitely takes the chill out on a cold day. Team it with a good baselayer and you will feel like it’s summer

I have Galvin Green base layers, I have an Adidas one and a Mizuno one.

I also own "cheap" base layer thermals from Tiso and they are just as good as the golf specific branded stuff. Save your money on thermals and buy basic thermals.

Galvin Green were a present I wouldn't have paid that myself!

Just check the specs with the Footjoy top, remember one stated it repels light mist.

Polyester filling wouldn't keep you warm in the freezer aisle in Tesco.

Would go up quick if you needed some instant warmth though

One accepts one gets what one pays for.

I'll report back after todays 18 to see if you are correct

I’ll check sports direct (or the alternative one set up by Newcastle fans 😅) for cheap base layer.

Think I’ll def aim for the gillet with arms thing too.

It’s all derived from the military and cold weather workers with the layer system - and it works very well with the thinner insula layers -

The five layers that you mentioned are what we used regularly out in colder climates - served me well in -10/20 in Kosovo and whilst dismissing it as marketing guff - the science behind it is spot on and comes from people living in the cold weather.

Step 1 - Stick the word 'golf' on it ✔
Step 2 - Mark up by an additional 50-100% ✔
Profit ✔

Nobodys hiding in a hole in Eastern Europe trying not to get shot though are they Phil?

From a golf perspective, the fact that you can't buy one type that does all is a little convenient don't you think?

It’s not about hiding in a hole it’s about freedom of your body when doing sport or work in conditions below 5 degrees

You can mix and match the layers so if you get warm you take a layer off or if it gets cold you add a layer

We used to have one jacket that did it all but it was heavy and when it warmed up a little you took it off and it was then too cold but too warm to wear a big thick coat

Layer system works and works well

You don’t have to buy the top of the range GG - loads of cheaper alternatives, GG will have the marketing claims they are the top of the tree and they base that from dealing with cold weather in Scandinavia- but not everything is a marketing ploy to get you to spend money, can’t be paranoid about everything
