Cold mornings don't have to mean uncomfortable golf.
One of the biggest mistakes golfers make during winter is relying on a bulky jacket alone to stay warm. While a waterproof outer layer protects you from wind and rain, it's your mid layer that does the hard work of trapping body heat while allowing you to move freely throughout your swing.
A quality golf mid layer creates an insulating pocket of warm air close to your body without adding unnecessary bulk. Modern technical fabrics are also breathable and moisture-wicking, helping regulate your temperature as your body warms up during a round. The result is greater comfort from the first tee to the final putt.
Whether you're playing in the crisp winters of Victoria, Tasmania and New Zealand or heading out for an early morning round in Queensland, a technical mid layer is one of the most versatile pieces you can add to your golf wardrobe.
The Three-Layer System
For maximum comfort during winter golf, think of your clothing in three layers:
Base Layer – Worn next to the skin to wick away moisture and regulate body temperature.
Mid Layer – Provides insulation by retaining body heat while remaining breathable and allowing unrestricted movement.
Outer Layer – A waterproof or windproof jacket that protects you from the elements without sacrificing performance.
This layering system allows you to easily add or remove garments as the weather changes throughout your round.
