Whether you’re playing golf in the dead of winter, or maybe it’s just a little chilly on the golf course, there’s no harm in throwing on an extra layer just in case!
Golf mid layers and golf jumpers are a signature part of countless golfers’ apparel with good reason. Stylish and practical, they’re made to offer a non-invasive layer of insulation and comfort between a base layer and an outer layer, or they can be worn as an outer layer in their own right.
Yet despite their popularity, women’s and men’s golf mid layers are so often overlooked, with many players reaching straight for a waterproof golf jacket, completely neglecting the extra layer they likely need to retain as much body heat as possible.
At Clarkes Golf, we’re home to one of the biggest selections of golf mid layers from the sport’s leading brands, so we’ll always be able to offer the layers you need to play the game however feels best to you.
With this in mind, let’s dive a little deeper into mid layers, and why you should be wearing them more often when you play golf.
Advantages of golf mid layers
Insulation and breathability
We’ve already mentioned how mid layers act as fantastic insulation beneath an outer layer, often being quilted or made of fleece-like materials.
But one concern some golfers may have is becoming too toasty while wearing a mid layer, which could throw off their game entirely.
This is understandable, given that even the most experienced golfers can start sweating unexpectedly beneath too many layers, and nobody wants to feel like they’re hitting shots inside a furnace.
Luckily, modern innovations in golfwear have allowed many of these mid layers to offer both excellent insulation and breathability.
For example, several golf jumpers are made with moisture-wicking properties that allow for the passage of air and built-up sweat droplets out of the material, while still locking heat in, so you get the best of both worlds and can enjoy your game unhindered.
Versatility
During times of the year when weather and temperature are unpredictable, golfers carry the reasonable worry that throwing on too many layers at the start of a game may be a bad decision if things start to warm up later in the day.
Thankfully, though, golf mid layers don’t have to be a permanent addition. They’re thin enough and light enough to be taken off at a moment’s notice, should the weather suddenly improve and temperatures rise.
Plus, they take up virtually no space in a golf bag, and can easily be folded or rolled up and slotted into one of the many compartments.
If the weather takes a turn again later? No problem, you can take it out of your bag and throw it back on, all in a matter of seconds, for an instant hit of warmth and comfort when you need it most.
Numerous materials and styles to choose from
Modern golfers care about both the effectiveness of their wardrobe and how it makes them look. Which is why, for the fashion-conscious golfer, choosing a new golf mid layer can be a real treat.
With literally hundreds of options available on the market, each with their own unique designs and stylistic qualities that make them stand out, you’ll be spoilt for choice.
If you want something ultra-soft and insulating for those frostbitten winter months, a high-neck golf pullover will see you right, helping to retain as much heat as possible.
Or, if you’re looking for something to add a slight hint of warmth without going over the top, a sleeveless golf gilet hoodie could be the way to go?
Whatever you’re looking for out of a mid layer, you’ll never run out of possibilities.
