Warm afternoons. Cool mornings. And everything in between.
That’s fall golf. Regardless of whether you’re in Halifax or Vancouver, the seasonality of golf dictates that to get the most out of your game as the seasons change, you’re going to have to dress for the weather.
And that’s where layering comes into play.
What is layering? It is essentially dressing in options that allows you to add layers—jackets, quarter-zips, and more—or take off layers if the weather warms. And we have some great brands that offer incredible layering stories. Some are classic—think the authentic golf approach while others have a significant technical story that enhances what they bring to fall clothing.
Abacus
A new brand at Golf Town, Abacus knows that when it comes to waterproof outerwear, you want more than just to stay dry. Having been involved with the LPGA Tour’s Solheim Cup, Abacus knows that rainwear has to help you perform as well as repel the rain. They’ve accomplished this by using lightweight materials with lots of stretch, allowing you to hit that big drive, even if the rain is driving sideways. Of course, as with the best rainwear, Abacus uses breathable materials that work in layering. They also offer vests and sweaters for both men and women, so you can layer up as the temperature dips.
Puma
Puma gets layering—it is built into the company’s DNA when it comes to golf. That means you’ll find the right baselayers—items you can slip under a polo to keep you warm—as well as the quarter-zips using Cloudspun fabric, which brings a great feel and stretch to vests and other items you’re going to want to consider when building a fall wardrobe for golf. Items like the men’s Palm Tree Hooded Jacket, or the women’s Cloudspun Daybreak vest are the versatile items you’re going to want to have for those days that start cool but warm in the afternoon.
Galvin Green
Long considered one of the leading brands in Europe, with an incredible technical story around rainwear, Galvin Green has been connected to the European Team at the Ryder Cup. Gore-Tex jackets that offer complete protection from rain are central to everything Galvin provides. But you’ll find quarter zips that protect you from biting rain, as well as other layering pieces in the Galvin collection all offered in the sport-focused aesthetic the company is known for.
adidas
The three-stripe brand offers great fall golf apparel for both men and women in an increasingly technical story that also offers a look that is sport-focused. adidas has long been a proponent of using recycled materials in its golf apparel lines and that’s no different when it comes to layering. You’ll find recycled materials in adidas’ Primeblue line for both men and women. If you’re a female golfer looking to keep your core warm during a cooler round, check out adidas’ COLD.RDY full zip jacket that uses recycled material.
Sun Mountain
You’ll never have to skip a tee time in those cooler fall months if you have Sun Mountain in your closet. Known as a design innovator when it comes to everything golf, Sun Mountain offers golf bags through to outerwear. From vests to warming quarter-zips, all created with a North American fit in mind, Sun Mountain has an ideal line for a extending your season. When it comes to outerwear, Sun Mountain’s Monsoon jacket is fully seam sealed, meaning no rain is going to find its way in, offers mechanical stretch and a two-year waterproof guarantee, all at an attractive price point.
