Fall Golf Layering Essentials

Canadian golfers are a hearty bunch, always looking for ways to keep the season going as long as possible.

While those in some areas of British Columbia may have the opportunity to play almost 12 months per year, even for them the weather isn’t always perfect – you’ll need some help from your closet!

That’s where Golf Town comes in.

Whether you’re looking for extra pieces to help combat wind or rain, eager to find a jacket that doesn’t restrict your swing, or layering additions like a toque or vest that can keep you warm until the temperature rises again, we’ve got you covered.

Just because it’s not shorts’ weather anymore, that doesn’t mean it isn’t golf weather!

Here are a couple of key items as you look to extend your season as long as possible this year.

PANTS

Men's Ultimate365 Tour WIND.RDY Tapered Pant

The adidas golf pants are crafted with WIND.RDY to help protect from gusts while the water-repellent fabric helps when it rains and the built-in stretch gives you good comfort every time.

Women's Provisional Rain Pant

The Provisional rain pant – for men and women – has drawcords on the elastic waist and ankles to adjust the fit, while they are also crafted from 100 percent recycled materials.

For women looking for another great option for rain pants, the Monsoon Pant from Sun Mountain has hand-warmer pockets, elastic waist with drawstring, and fully seam-sealed and waterproof.

JACKETS

The key to a good golf jacket is having it both comfortable and combative against the elements. There are a ton of great options from some of the biggest names in golf gear including FootJoy, Ping, adidas, and Sun Mountain for men and women.

Men's Ultimate365 Tour Frost Guard Jacket

The men’s Ultimate365 Tour Frost Guard jacket from adidas boasts PrimaLoft insulation to keep you warm and dry, plus a stand-up collar and cuffed sleeves.

Men's Thermoseries Insulated Jacket

From FootJoy, there is the Thermoseries Insulated Jacket with full-zip construction, and woven shell material with four-way stretch for wind resistance full range of motion.

PING’s Vernon Full Zip Jacket is a quilted, insulated piece engineered with Sorona Aura, a lightweight, breathable partially plant-based insulation fabric.

Women's Monsoon Rain Jacket

For women, Sun Mountain has again taken it’s No.1 style – Monsoon – and crafted a jacket that is fully seam-sealed and waterproof with zippered hand-warmer pockets. Not only that? It folds into its own pocket and can be clipped onto your golf bag.

SWEATERS

Golf and quarter-zip sweaters go together like peanut butter and jam, so it’s no surprise that brands like Under Armour, FootJoy, Adidas, and more have lots of great options for those early-morning tee-times – and plenty of them are looking seamless on the golf course and off.

The lightweight adidas golf pullover is soft knit, made from 100 percent recycled materials, boasts UV coverage and is moisture-absorbing to keep you dry.

From Under Armour, there’s the Storm Sweaterfleece half-zip. Available in four colours, this piece combines the best of the rain protection of a jacket, the performance of a fleece, and the comfort and warmth of a sweater into one.

Callaway Golf’s Ottoman quarter-zip sweater is made from a soft fleece with UV protective materials that are also breathable – making it a solid year-long option.

ACCESSORIES

Canadian golfers are a strong bunch, so even when it’s awfully cold – but still sunny! – don’t expect them to stop playing. We have a full selection of toques available from the game’s biggest brands, including something fun from Travis Mathew, who teamed up with Bauer for a line of gear including its Slow and Easy toque – boasting a fleece-lined interior for additional warmth and comfort (and a Zamboni icon).

Vests are a key part of any golfer’s wardrobe – no matter the season – and Abacus has a perfect addition to any closet. The Elgin Hybrid vest is highly breathable, protects against the wind, light rain, and cold, all in an extremely lightweight package.

      1. What about mid layers or heavier 1/4 zips… there’s only PGA. Are stores receiving any other new insulated items for women? Thx.
