The Half Zip Golf Sweater – Warmth and Versatility in One

When it comes to golfing clothing, the golfer is often left looking for that piece of apparel that will provide a combination of warmth and versatility. The answer is the half zip golf sweater – a garment that can be worn as a mid layer underneath a light weight golf jacket or on its own when temperatures drop.

As we head into the later stages of the golf season in the Northern hemisphere it’s becoming increasingly important to have a good quality golf hoodie in your wardrobe. While you might not play golf as much at this time of year, it’s still a great time to get out on the course while the weather is nice and cool.

Unlike some other types of sports, golf is not very physically demanding so it’s important that the clothes you wear are breathable and allow you to move freely and swing the club without restriction. That’s why a hoodie designed with golf in mind is so useful, as they are usually engineered for performance. This is especially true for golf hoodies that feature an element of stretch such as this Peter Millar Cloud quarter zip 2.0. While other fleece golf hoodies can be bulky, restrict your range of motion or just feel like something you’d wear on the sofa this hoodie has a four-way stretch that ensures it plays as a high-performance garment that won’t restrict your swing.

The hoodie is also made using a lightweight, moisture wicking and wind resistant fabric that will keep you warm and dry even during a colder round. The material is a combination of cotton, polyester and spandex and is machine washable so you can quickly get it ready for the next day on the course. There are plenty of pockets for storage and the hood is fully adjustable to prevent drafts and wind from blowing it out of place as you take your shot.

This hoodie is designed and built with golf performance in mind as it uses Callaway’s MATTR fabric technology, which is engineered for golf with a four way stretch to prevent restriction as you swing. The hoodie is also lightweight, moisture wicking and is wind and water resistant, as well as being incredibly soft. There are lots of great features on this hoodie including a hidden kangaroo pocket, the Callaway logo embroidered on the hem and a zipped front pocket that provides extra warmth.

Another option that is more tailored to golfing is this hoodie from Galvin Green. The brand believes that golf apparel should be stylish and this sweater is a prime example with considered designs, a sophisticated colour palette and elegant details to help you look as good on the course as you feel.

The second zipper on this hoodie isn’t particularly functional, but it adds a touch of style and enables the garment to be worn more like a jumper than a jacket. This means you can pair it with a polo and have an outfit that wouldn’t look out of place in any bar or pub.
