We’re not quite there yet, but winter is coming and chilly-weather golf (especially in the mornings) has hit most of the country. But it’s worth making the most of these late fall days. Cooler temps usually mean emptier tee sheets, firmer fairways and some of the best golf of the year, as long as you’re not shivering over every shot. The right layers keep you loose, warm and swinging freely from the first tee to the 18th green.
Here are five cold-weather essentials from PGA TOUR Superstore, some of them marked down right now.
adidas Originals 3-Stripe Men’s Golf Quarter Zip
This quarter zip pairs adidas’ retro three-stripe look with a performance build made for the course. It layers easily over a polo on chilly mornings and comes off without a fuss once the sun burns through. At 25% off, it’s a staple worth grabbing now and you’ll wear it all fall (maybe even winter) long.
Wear this if: You want one layer that looks just as good in the clubhouse (or the office) as it does on the course. Long live quarter-zips!
