Base layer manufacturers see golfers coming...
I bought 3 unbranded base layers 5 years ago for £3.99 each and if the "name" ones costing 10 times as much are even twice as good I'll be very surprised.
I'm never cold on the course..
Can't believe the cost of Under Armour (and others) base layers and plenty of similar for fraction of the cost

Yeah, I recently bought a Nike snood. I've been wearing it outside of golf as well, when I leave for work in the mornings - I realised I don't like scarves due to all the extra superfluous material you have to do something with, so a snood is ideal!

Are the titleist/Adidas/etc snoods any better than the £3 ones on eBay???

I only bought a Nike one because I was in Sports Direct and that was the only snood they had in the shop. Cost £10. Obviously any snood does the same job.

Decathlon's 0.99p snoods are good, I've got a few.. their base layers are also good value
what a waste of money, you could have got a cheap beanie hat and cut the top of or the leg of an old pair of Trousers
I bought a Titleist one cause that's what I do, I really wish I hadn't.

Be careful... I think Patrick must be meaning to dig out some 90’s chinos with his recommendation of the leg of an old pair of trousers; not a chance that the current fashion for athletic/skinny cut trews would fit over my big head!

Yes, but the cheaper ones on eBay still do the job.
First one I got was a £5 one off eBay. Second one was Adidas. Still wear both, but the Adidas is thicker and bigger.

You don't have to splash out to protect yourself from the elements.
I get my base layers from Aldi or Lidl and they keep me nice and warm through the winter. My best top for keeping out the wind is a Sunderland heavy duty wind cheater that must be 10 years old and is still what I use when it gets chilly. A truly outstanding piece of kit.
I have Under Armour winter trousers (£16.99 from TK Maxx) and on the feet I have two pairs of waterproof socks bought from Aldi and a pair of Footjoy Dryjoys bought from ebay for £40 which had been used once AND came with an M&S shoe bag c/w polishing kit.
On the head, I wear a peaked woolly hat as the low winter sun gets in my eyes and that little peak actually provides a lot of protection from the glare.
I have wet-grip gloves for when it rains and SunIce Gore-Tex waterproofs bought cheap from Sports Direct when they priced them wrong (£80 for the top, £60 for the trousers).
Oh, and a flask of rusty nail.

Most people spend a lot on cold weather gear because of the logo on it and because of advertising.
It's all about how you layer up effectively rather than the logo on the top. I mentioned earlier in the thread I never wear trousers in the winter, old school pair of long John's, trackie bottoms & waterproof trousers keeps the lower half toastie. Top half a thin base layer under a polo shirt with a jumper on top, if it gets really cold gillet over those or waterproof jacket. Only golf specific clothing I have is my waterproofs everything else from primark, asda or the like. Doesn't need to be expensive to keep you warm.

I may layer up with a sweater tomorrow, although that'll be off by 10am...

Clubs over here are a lot more tolerant. although golf in a mankini can chaff a little.
Good point well made. I have some M&S long johns, a few under armours acquired in sales, unbranded polo necks from Edinburgh Woollen Mill and club Jumpers or a windproof jumper. Add a woollen jumper and some mittens and I'm good to go. I did find these https://britwear.co.uk/collections/...t-colour-baselayer-turtleneck-long-sleeve-top but not sure how the sizes come up. As they are offering L-XL they might come up large and the S-M sound very small. I've not ordered one yet but tempted
