+ Incredibly lightweight
+ Water-repellent
- Camo design not for all

If you need a garment to help deal with inclement weather then I think I’ve found the ideal pullover for you. The aesthetic of the G/FORE Camo Tech Hooded top will divide opinion, but the Twilight color grew on me and despite the camo finish, it isn’t a loud garment. I think there is a degree of subtlety here that works well off the course too, on walks for example.

Thanks to a water-repellent finish, the pullover works for those pesky showers we occasionally get caught in, and yet the extremely lightweight and breathable construction allows it to perform on warmer days as well. Additionally, it pairs very well indeed with polos and mid-layers for colder rounds too. Finally it stretches nicely and folds down to nothing so it can go in pretty much any pocket in your bag. A go-to top when you need it.

+ Total protection
+ Quiet fabric limits distractions
- Top end of price spectrum

I have tested a wide range of rain jackets over my time at Golf Monthly and one of the absolute best is the Sun Day Red 3L Rain Jacket, a model I recently got my hands on. Made from three layers of Polartec Powershield fabric, this jacket offers complete and total protection from adverse weather conditions, and yet is still lightweight and breathable too. Having tested in some tough conditions on and off the course, and even poured water on it to see what would happen, the jacket kept me dry and blocked wind out very well indeed. I also noted just how quiet this jacket was, which was a real design element Tiger Woods focused on. It barely makes a sound during the swing and it stretches seamlessly for unrestricted movement too. Finally I think it looks great, works comfortably with layers underneath, and it folds down well.

+ Premium quality in every aspect
+ Superb look and feel
- Only one color

At the top of Peter Millar's range is the Rain Walker jacket, a totally waterproof, windproof and exceptionally breathable top designed to shield you from the elements. Not to mention that it achieves this whilst also being comfortable, unrestrictive and I must say it looks great just about anywhere. I love the way that the overall look is so smart and understated, somehow classic and yet still modern at the same time.

There are three layers including a hydrophilic membrane which allows moisture to escape. The external surface is water repellent, and the latest improvements in seam technology mean that the stitching is robust and reliable. The only slight drawbacks are the premium price (but this is a premium product so makes sense), and there is only one color.

+ Looks great everywhere
+ Supremely comfortable and well made
- Zip can be a bit fiddly

Right out of the gate, I should admit the zip on this jacket can be rather fiddly, and it is not 100% waterproof, only water resistant. However having tested it in the rain it performed well despite that slight distinction.

As such I included it in this rain jacket guide and given the rest of the performance it offers, it is a worthy model at that. As far as comfort goes it is close to the top of the tree because of the soft fabric on the inside, it is remarkably lightweight for a jacket of this size, and it just feels lovely to wear.

I think looks wise it might be the best on this list because the navy/cream combination works just about everywhere, both on and off the golf course. I love the addition of a hood, which is actually detachable too, and I thought it worked very well when combining with other layers like mid-layers or quarter zips.

Sizes: XS-2XL

+ Extremely comfortable
+ Elasticated adjustability
- Would love more colors

This is one of the most comfortable pullover quarter-zips I’ve ever tested thanks to the stretchy fabric construction of recycled nylon, lycra and elastane. At times I forgot I was even wearing it, which is testament to its lightweight comfort whilst the brand has clearly thought about other details as well, such as the elasticated cuffs and adjustability in the hem. This fabric is also windproof, water and abrasion resistant and UV protective too.

It was roomy in the chest and waist but not too much that I felt hampered during the swing. Speaking of which, the fabric does make a slight rustling when swinging, and I wish more colors were available, but these are such minor points and don’t take away from what is an excellent top.

+ Extremely versatile in terms of both when and where to wear
+ Lightweight and flexible
- Only water resistant

If you’re looking at the weather forecast and you aren’t exactly sure what the conditions will be during your fall/winter round of golf, the Northwood Jacket will become your go to. It’s a pleasant extra layer to wear during colder days and thanks to the water resistant material on the front, will save you if an unexpected shower rolls in.

If said rain is sustained over a longer period of time, you might have to reach for a proper waterproof jacket, but the Northwood Jacket at least protects you for light or short showers. It’s lightweight, stretchy and is clearly made with the golfer in mind. Plenty of pocket space in the three front pockets is also a welcome feature.

Sizes: XS-2XL
Colors: 2 Full Zip

+ Extreme stretch and comfort
+ Athletic fit and breathable
- There are cheaper alternatives

KJUS is known for their premium golf apparel and the first thing we noticed with the Pro 3L 3.0 is the quality in design and materials used. From testing a lot of different rain jackets we often see the fabric sacrifice stretch but that isn't the case here. This is thanks to what the brand call body-zoned X-stretch panels which allow for maximum stretch in the areas you need it most.

Waterproof protection was top notch as well. Water beaded off seamlessly thanks to the non-porous, stretchable membrane of this jacket. We also love the discreet, subtle aesthetics which make it usable everywhere. While this jacket is premium in price, the look and performance on offer is arguably the best in the business.

+ Great crossover piece
+ Very fashionable
- If you prefer a tailored fit

The Malbon Elliott Jacket offers the wearer a true crossover piece that could be worn equally well on the golf course while giving a distinct lifestyle feel. It may not provide the waterproof protection some golfers demand, but it offers a fantastic wind barrier and easily accommodates layers underneath. The relaxed, boxy fit means the style doesn't intrude, and the smart silhouette ensures it can be paired well with many different pants. It lacks the elasticated technical cuffs of dedicated golf windbreakers, but this doesn't detract from its purpose as a functional, fashionable outer layer. For comfort and convenience, there’s a full zip closure and ample buttoned chest pockets that provide secure storage. This jacket is perfect for the fashion-conscious golfer who values street style and durability, making a statement both on and off the course.

+ Fantastic heat retention
+ Not restricting in the slightest
- Could use adjustable cuffs or tapered sleeves

The Maverick Hybrid Stretch Jacket from G/FORE is undoubtedly one of the most versatile jackets I have tested this year. In testing it felt soft to touch and I found it to be very comfortable indeed when worn with a polo. The fit is athletic but not overly tight, although the sleeves could have benefitted from tapering or adjustable cuffs to prevent them from intruding on your hands when gripping the club.

Despite being wind and water repellent, golfers should still look to carry a rain jacket if they’re expecting inclement weather. That being said I think the heat retention is very good indeed. The smart Silicone dotted logo on the back adds a nice modern twist to an otherwise really clean jacket.

+ Soft, warm and comfortable
+ On and off course use
- Would prefer a quarter zip

The Fade Half Zip Top from Peter Millar has become a fast favorite of mine. Fleeces may not be as popular as other performance fabrics these days but I loved the soft, warm feel of the fabric here, and it felt lightweight and sufficiently stretchy too. It is finished with a half zip and two pockets which really compliment the top well although the only slight negative I can think of is a quarter zip would be best.

But for me the main benefit to this top is its versatility. I have used this top everywhere and it works in most situations. There are four colors to choose from, all of which are understated and can be paired with other golf pants or shorts easily. A top performer indeed.

+ Striking design
+ Lightweight and breathable
- High price point

Constructed using a polyester, elastane blend, the Heath Strike Mid Layer is incredibly lightweight and stretchy allowing for a sleek and athletic fit that provides room and freedom in all the right places. The design has a honeycomb structure on the front and back which both looks and feels fantastic, while the arms provide incredible skin feel akin to a supersoft brushed cotton on the interior.

A white silicone JL Bridge logo on the collar delivers a splash of contrast, while additional branding on the right sleeve provides a welcome point of difference from other options on the market. This mid layer is right at the top of what you can expect to pay in this category, but if you are looking for quality, style and comfort, you’ve come to the right place.

Sizes: S-XXL

+ Stylish top with pop of color
+ Very comfortable
- Non-elasticated cuffs

If you know G/FORE as a brand then you will know it often goes down the road of unique, attention grabbing aesthetics but this Brushed Back Tech Quarter Zip fits at the understated end of the spectrum. I think it looks fantastic thanks to the brushed fabric and yet there is a nice pop of pink color on the back collar, adding to its versatile aesthetic.

The top stretched as much as I would want, and despite feeling lightweight I think it did a good job at offering some warmth when it was slightly chillier on the course. It also works well when partnered with other garments for warmth as well. My only real critique of this top are the cuffs, which aren’t elasticated but this is only a minor design point.

+ Elegant and lightweight
+ Premium feel and construction
- Can be narrow fitting

I have tested a lot of Sun Day Red gear and the consistent theme throughout is the premium feel and construction. The same can be said of this 3D Merino Wool Quarter Zip. The 100% merino wool feels lovely on the skin and whilst this top can offer up a bit of a narrow fit, I loved it in my testing. Looks wise it is elegant, sophisticated and versatile enough for use on and off the golf course, I have used it into my London office a number of times for example.

The 3D knit design minimizes the need for seams and as a result it moves beautifully throughout the swing and offers flexibility and stretch whatever shot you are hitting. It is also really lightweight which may limit its use on those really cold days, but it pairs well when wearing garments over the top of it as well so it is the kind of top you can use all-year round.

Sizes: S-3XL

+ The ideal quarter zip
+ Loads of colors to choose from
- Perhaps the price

Having recently tested the Sully Pullover, I can understand why it is a best-seller on the Johnnie-O website. In short, it is the ideal quarter zip in my opinion. The cotton blend fabric feels lovely and comfortable, the top looks great and it comes in an amazing 16 different colors. The pullover fits well and is designed not only to be comfortable, but smart as well, ensuring there is no excess material which can be annoying and impede the swing.

Importantly it is a versatile garment thanks to the refined finish, meaning it can be used on and off the course, for example I have worn it to work a number of times. I also really liked how the fabric felt lightweight, and yet thick enough for when it gets a touch chilly. Perhaps the only stumbling block for some could be the price, but given its performance, I think the Sully is worth it.

+ Ultra-lightweight, breathable
+ Modern fit, sharp aesthetic
- Other layers needed for colder rounds

The Bell Pullover offers an ultra-lightweight feel and exceptional breathability thanks to its innovative AIRATION perforated fabric. This isn't a pullover designed to provide significant warmth; rather, it serves as a high-performance layer that excels in moisture management and all-day comfort.

The signature tailored fit from Holderness & Bourne ensures a sharp, modern look and wouldn’t look out of place at the gym or playing other sports. Its sophisticated styling is complemented by practical performance features such as UPF 50+ sun protection, neat straight cuffs, and a modern drop-tail silhouette for enhanced coverage.

Sizes: XS-XXL
Colors: 6

+ Super stretchy
+ Thin, lightweight material
- Quite fitted

The Malbon Performance Raglan Quarter Zip offers a beautifully soft, lightweight feel of flexible, technical fabric, perfect for a crisp morning on the course. It may not replace a heavy jacket in a blizzard, but its performance blend offers the ideal layer of warmth without adding bulk. The athletic raglan cut means excess material won’t intrude on your swing, and the understated styling, complete with a clean collar, means it can be worn easily away from the course.

It lacks the highly technical pocketing of dedicated waterproof shells, but this doesn't detract from its purpose as a functional layering piece. For comfort and versatility, the quarter-zip provides quick ventilation. This pullover is perfect for the fashion-forward golfer who wants a premium, technical mid-layer that blends style and warmth for year-round play.

+ Best quality quarter-zip I’ve ever worn
+ Beautifully soft and versatile to be worn any wear
- Could do with a few more color options

After trying The Marsay on for the first time, I then continued to wear it for the next three days - hopefully that gives you an indication of how soft and comfortable it is. The word that comes to mind when I think of this pullover is ‘classy’ - the super soft Zegna Baruffa Wool is complimented by a textured knit to give a top-quality look, one that is subtle but looks uber-premium.

Like the best options in this guide, The Marsay can be worn to any event, be that a tee time, a fancy dinner or even a smart casual event like a baptism or engagement party. It comes with a premium price tag, but backs that price tag up with a feel that I’ve never experienced from a pullover before - I highly recommend it if you're looking for a top-end sweater for the colder months!

+ Wrinkle resistant
+ Simple design with limited branding or logos
- Plain design may not excite some

The Highland Quarter Zip is a quarter zip specifically designed for sporting performance. This is highlighted by a few notable quality of life features - the cuffed sleeves are perfect for golf, as if the soft, stretchy material. The colors are simplistic but classy and minimal branding or logos adds to the premium look.

The black obviously looks classy, but the white and sky blue colors are also eye-catching. The wrinkle-resistant design is perfect for golf, allowing you to pack this tightly into your golf bag as an extra layer out on the course if it is needed. Easily worn on and off the course, this is a piece that will look at home at a bar or in the office as it does on the golf course.

Sizes: S-2XL

+ Premium feel and construction
+ Very warm and looks great
- Bulkier than other vests

As you can see in this guide, some vests are designed to be a light layer whereas others are for warmth, and the Cypress Insulated Vest is definitely the latter. The nylon fabric construction feels thick and offers real warmth, as a result the vest is a little bulkier than others on this list. That being said the vest remains lightweight and the fabric actually has a DWR (durable water-repellent) coating which helps water roll off the garment, although it is worth saying this vest is not totally waterproof.

You also get full-zip side pockets, adjustability at the waist, a two-way zipper, and I think the vest looks great as well. It features a cross-hatch design which mimics signature Sun Day Red polo shirts. Finally this vest works beautifully in the cold with other layers underneath it, such as quarter-zips, hoodies or mid-layers.

Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 2

+ Very lightweight
+ Smart styling
- Doesn’t provide as much warmth as others

The Contour gilet from Peter Millar is the ideal garment for when the weather turns. The first thing I noticed about it was how lightweight the fabric is. This can easily be stored in a golf bag without adding any noticeable extra bulk.

Given that the fabric is water resistant, I was surprised and impressed by how soft it was. In particular, it stretches with your body as you swing the club. Having said that, this also has a very smart, simple design which means it can just as easily be worn as an extra layer off the course with jeans.

You can very easily layer up underneath this gilet to add some additional warmth which makes it ideal whenever the forecast is changeable.

Sizes: S-XXXL

+ Incredibly lightweight
+ Good wind protector
- Not a necessary garment for everyone

The mid-layer market has expended significantly in recent years and a whole host of options are now available, including hoodies, quarter zips, jumpers and gilets. The Penguin Heritage Lightweight Packable isn’t what you’d normally associate with golf gilets, which tend to have more bulk. Rarely has a garment been given a more appropriate name, however, as this gilet is incredibly, and we mean incredibly, lightweight and therefore extremely packable. It folds up so small it doesn’t even need to go in the largest pocket on your golf bag.

There are two color options available – white and black – and you will be totally uninhibited as you swing. The gilet will also keep your torso dry as it comes with water-repelling properties. It’s fair to question how much it will actually add if you own other mid-layers, but it’s a clever piece of engineering.

Sizes: S-XXL

+ Light thermal insulation
+ Clean and versatile design
- Requires specific care

The King Vest offers a lightweight design with effective thermal insulation, specifically designed to keep your core warm and you looking sharp on chilly days. The smooth nylon-elastane blend exterior is not just about a modern aesthetic; it provides excellent four-way stretch, ensuring your movements are never restricted even if you layer up underneath.

The tailored fit is engineered to present a sleek silhouette without any unnecessary bulk, and its sophisticated, clean styling allows it to transition seamlessly from the golf course to a variety of smart-casual environments. The small logo detailing on the rear of the neck is a classy touch, while the functionality of the vest is enhanced by hidden side utility zipper pockets and a practical tonal two-way zipper. If you’re after a vest that offers complete versatility and style, then the King Vest is an option worth considering.

Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 4

+ Very stylish finish
+ Premium feel
- At expensive end of price spectrum

The vest (or gilet) is now a staple of every brand’s golf collection thanks to the versatility it offers keeping your core warm while allowing freedom in the swing and G/FORE’s new Maverick Hybrid Stretch is one of the top models on the market right now. Featuring a very stylish aesthetic, I think it looks outstanding, especially in the Nimbus color I tested.

The soft feel of the garment can best be described as premium as well, which I was expecting given the premium price of this vest. Every element feels well made and designed properly, ranging from the high-quality zip, lightweight warmth, and comfortable stretch, to the smaller details like the zip pockets. It is also worth mentioning it is wind and water repellent too. Overall it is a top-notch garment well worth considering.

Sizes: S-2XL

+ Lightweight and flexible
+ Clean, simple design
- Warmer models out there

Some golfers out there want an ultra-warm vest for winter golf whereas others want a thinner, flexible design, which is where the Zimmer from Johnnie-O comes in for those latter golfers. Made from a nylon/spandex blend, it is stunningly lightweight and works well with other layers whether that be going over the top of a hoodie or mid-layer, or underneath larger rain jackets.

This fabric construction makes it stretch easily whatever stance I was getting into and at no point did I feel restricted, nor was my range of motion limited. The aesthetic is classically simple and another feature I liked were the magnetic closure side pockets too. Ultimately, this vest is perfect for the active individual seeking a lightweight and stylish layer that doesn’t compromise on movement or versatility.

Sizes: S-2XL

+ Incredibly soft fabric
+ Premium construction
- Can be tricky to maintain

This 3D Tour Cashmere Hoodie is my favorite piece of golf apparel right now. The quality of the construction and the softness of the fabric has to be felt to be believed. It is part of the premium cashmere collection and as a result it has a premium price, but the quality and the performance is worth it in my opinion.

Made with a 3D Knitting process, this eliminates seams and offers key stretch just where I need it. As a result it isn’t restrictive at all and is incredibly comfortable. The feel is also lightweight and breathable but the top gave good warmth as well. The only real negative for me is with a garment of this quality, and the cashmere construction, it means I have to be very careful with its use, especially when it comes to washing it.

Sizes: XS-2XL
Colors: 12

+ Soft and thick fabric
+ Versatile for everywhere
- Perhaps more for autumn/winter golf

Due to the thick, soft and comfortable fabric, I would say the Steady State Pullover Hoodie is best for autumn/winter golf, or a good layer to throw on for colder mornings and evenings on the links. It has a cozy fleece lining which feels lovely on the skin, offering a touch of warmth, whilst the cotton and recycled polyester blend felt breathable too.

It has a roomy fit and I think the overall design lends itself to versatility. I am confident the simple aesthetic and comfort makes this a hoodie for use on and off the golf course and there are as many as 12 colors to choose from. I admit the aesthetic won’t be for all and you may get a look or two at some golf clubs, but golf fashion is changing for the better and there is no reason why this hoodie wouldn’t work on the course.

Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 4

+ Off-course versatility
+ Simple, classic styling
- Some will prefer a more sporty look

As you’d expect from Peter Millar, this hoodie offers a beautifully luxurious feel. The fabric is soft and lightweight which makes it incredibly comfortable to wear. The downside here is that it might not be the warmest golf hoodie on the market but it can easily be worn with other layers.

I tested the deep verdant (dark green) colorway and loved the versatility of being able to wear this off the course with jeans and on the course with a variety of different colored trousers. It offers a classic fit and is relatively stretchy so it shouldn’t restrict your golf swing. Worth pointing out here is that there are no pockets - I like this as it reduces bulkiness. This is the perfect option for those after a smart-casual golf look as well as an extra hoodie for off-course wear.

Sizes: S-2XL

+ Premium hoodie that is one of the softest I’ve ever worn
+ Kangaroo pocket not intrusive
- Extra care is needed when washing

Premium, premium, premium. The Finnooch hoodie was a joy to test, not just because of how high quality the garment felt, but how soft and comfortable it felt while out on the course. Made from 100% Zegna Baruffa Wool, it delivers a fit that hugs your body without being intrusive and restrictive, instead delivering a stretch that you’ll appreciate as you swing.

The ribbed cuffs are another thing I appreciated while playing as I typically like to roll my sleeves up before each swing, meaning the sleeves stayed in place and didn’t intrude. This isn’t a hoodie you can throw into the rest of your wash and put into the washing machine at a higher temperature, but the extra care needed is worth it for how high the quality is here.

Sizes: S-2XL
Colors: 3

+ Supreme warmth and comfort
+ Soft, flexible material for movement
- Two-color ribbed finish not for all

As many of you might know, I am a huge fan of the Remmy hoodie from Johnnie-O but I have actually gone with the Werner model from the latest range instead for this guide. Featuring a kind of hiking style aesthetic, it may divide opinion because of the two-color ribbed effect, but I must admit it really is growing on me. It helps being probably the most comfortable hoodie I’ve tested in a long time with the softness of the fabric making it wearable all day, regardless of activity. This fabric is also stretchy and flexible for athletic movements and I found it to be very warm as well so will be ideal for colder rounds. I really like the combination of the half-zip with the hood making it easy to put on or take off, and the magnetic pockets are a design feature worth mentioning as well. An outstanding hoodie.

Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: Five

+ Extremely comfortable
+ Can be worn in everyday life
- Quite thin so layers underneath can be visible

The G FORE Brushed Back Tech Hoodie is a premium and lightweight garment that is extremely comfortable, functional and stretchy. It is made with a ‘Terry’ fabric that is high quality and very soft to wear while it has a great amount of stretch to easily play golf in. Due to how comfortable and minimalistic it is we think it will get a lot of wear away from the course so the premium price tag is fully justified. It has UV protection built in to keep you safe from the sun and also has both moisture wicking and odor inhibiting properties. It also has two zips for one big pocket to store any essentials and overall is just a stunning piece. The Brushed Back Tech Hoodie comes in five colorways and we’d recommend ordering your usual size.

Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 3

+ Classy styling
+ Matches easily with other layers
- Some will prefer a less technical fabric

The Empire polo from Peter Millar is a very simple, stylish garment that would be a welcome staple in the wardrobe of any golfer. Made from a blend of polyester and spandex, it keeps its shape over time and yet stretches with your body as you swing to prevent any annoying feeling of restriction.

I wore the Sherwood (green) version of this polo and was really pleased with how smart it was. It also looks good with cream or navy-colored trousers. The fit is described as ‘tailored’ and is on the athletic side. However, I didn’t feel it was too snug and would happily wear it both on and off the course.

Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 4

+ Classic styling
+ Collar is high quality
- More of an athletic fit

The G FORE All Play polo is made with a supersoft stretch knit that is extremely comfortable and stretchy. It’s a joy to play golf in and the simple styling means it can pair with plenty of different outfits across the four different colorways. It fits just as we hoped so would recommend going with your usual size. Additionally I liked the overall fit of the shirt, athletic and not restrictive, and it works well with mid-layers or quarter-zips over the top as well.

The collar is extremely rigid and feels very high quality, while the G FORE embossed buttons are premium, too. UPF 50+ is a welcome feature as well. Overall, it has to be considered as one of the best golf polos you can buy and good value for money considering the quality.

Sizes: S-2XL
Colors: 3

+ Subtle aesthetic
+ Fits very well
- Best suited to a slimmer, athletic fit

For those seeking a polo with an athletic fit, the short-sleeve Reserve Polo from Sun Day Red is a worthy consideration. ‘Created for the clubhouse and beyond’, it comes in three subtle colors and features a versatile, polished aesthetic that works both on and off the golf course in my opinion. A design element that aids this versatility is the only logo visible on the polo is on the back of the neck.

As mentioned, the athletic fit comes from the modern, tailored silhouette which I really liked, and it is comfortable too with a polyester/viscose/elastane blend. It feels soft to the skin and lightweight too, and whilst I usually prefer a three-button polo, the two-buttons here are no issue whatsoever. The price is at the top end of the market but given the versatility, you are basically getting two polos in one here.

Sizes: S-2XL
Colors: 3

+ Smart and versatile
+ Breathability
- Top end of polo price spectrum

If you haven’t heard of Johnnie-O then I cannot recommend them enough because I have tested pretty much their entire golf range of late, including the excellent Kerwin polo here. Featuring a striped design that I am a big fan of, it comes in three nice colors and I would go as far to say it works both on and off the golf course with ease.

It also has a lightweight and comfortable feel, ideal for those warmer days on the course, and yet it also remains comfortable when paired with more layers as well, so it works in the cold too. Speaking of warmer days, it also has UPF 50 sun protection along with side vents to keep you cool. It stretches nicely and finally, whilst the price is at the top end of the polo market, the versatility means it is a polo you can wear very often.

Sizes: XS-XXXL
Colors: 6

+ Clean sophisticated design
+ Athletic fit looks great
- May not appeal to golfers who dislike bold branding

The KV polo is one of J.Lindeberg’s standout garments due to its simple but effective design, and its standout performance on the course. The sleek athletic fit is particularly complimentary, and the branding on the collar and back give it that extra bit of flair that fashion conscious golfers will love.

Thanks to its synthetic construction the polo is lightweight, breathable and offers plenty of stretch throughout the golf swing making it a dream for warmer summer rounds.

The KV is available in a wide range of color options making a great option for those who like to mix and match outfits. Although I love the bold branding on the back it may not suit the eye of those who like a more toned down design.

Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 3

+ Exceptionally soft and luxurious
+ Versatile classic polo design
- Some may prefer a more structured collar.

The Strickland Shirt is one of the most versatile and premium polo shirts on the market. The incredibly soft and luxurious feel of its Peruvian Pima cotton and elastane blend, offers both a refined comfort and good amount of stretch. This polo is lightweight and breathable, making it ideal for comfortable wear on warmer days, while being thick enough to provide ample warmth under a mid-layer on cooler days.

The signature tailored fit from Holderness & Bourne ensures a clean, modern look, allowing it to transition effortlessly from the golf course to various casual and smart-casual settings. The design is enhanced by a subtle chest pocket detail, a vintage applied placket, and a relaxed self-collar that contributes to its versatile, laid-back yet sophisticated aesthetic.

Sizes: 28-46
Colors: 12

+ Incredibly comfortable
+ Lightweight, stretchy material
- Relaxed fit not for everyone

We have noticed a lot of people talking about the ABC Pants from Lululemon and after testing them out ourselves, we can see why. There are 12 colors to choose from but the first thing we noticed was how lightweight and stretchy the fabric is. If you are looking for a classic pair of cotton chinos, these probably aren’t for you but there’s no doubt they look very smart.

The major plus point from the technical fabric is how comfortable these pants are. The fit is relaxed without being baggy and that makes these ideal for long days on the golf course. Given the simple aesthetic, you could also easily wear these off course, which makes them an excellent value for money option.

Sizes: 28-46
Colors: 10

+ Premium model that performed well
+ Colors look great
- Pockets could have been bigger

A while ago I tested the Bonobos Performance Link pants and testament to the performance, they are still well worth buying. Available in ten subtle colors that will suit a wide range of outfits, these pants remain one of our absolute favorites, but why?

Well, the fabric feels lovely on the skin, it is very soft and comfortable, but also enables you to move well throughout your golf swing. This fabric also provides UV resistance, making these a great pant to wear if you're playing in hot conditions but also has moisture-wicking and quick drying properties if you do get caught in an unexpected shower.

Sizes: 30-44
Colors: 11

+ Lightweight and comfortable
+ Premium looks and colors
- Price might be only stumbling block

Without doubt my favorite pair of golf pants right now are the eb66 Performance Pants from Peter Millar. They offer premium performance which does mean they come with a premium price, but after my testing, they are definitely worth it.

Available in loads of colors, many of which allow you to wear them as much off the golf course, as on it, the eb66 pants are a five star design. The fabric is 100% polyester and feels comfortable against the skin, whilst the two-way stretch delivered when I needed it. They feel extremely well-made and the little details like the five pockets and inner stitching, elevating the pants further.

Sizes: 30-40
Colors: 4

+ Comfortable and freedom of movement
+ Lightweight and breathable for year-round use
- 32” inseam won’t suit everyone

Not to be outdone by other brands in this guide, G/FORE's Tech Tour 4-way pants are some of the most fashionable and comfortable pants anywhere right now. The fabric and lightweight feel of them makes them easy to move in, and thanks to the moisture wicking fabric and breathability on offer from these trousers, they are perfect for use throughout the year in any temperature. While these trousers do offer a smart, traditional look, there are some hints of G/FORE’s 'out there' styling such as the scripted logos on the belt loops and two zippers at the rear, one of which is in pink. While there are four color options and multiple waist size options, the ability to only order a 32” inseam on these trousers will not suit everyone.

Sizes: 30-38
Colors: 4

+ Lightweight fabric
+ Classic chino styling
- Not as flexible as others on the market

The Garvey Pant offers a lightweight feel and solid amount of stretch thanks to its performance woven fabric, engineered for exceptional comfort and freedom. While these pants aren’t as stretchy as others on the market they provide enough mobility for both on course and off the course wear. They are also breathable too, and yet this may hinder the performance in the cold, as these are thinner than other models.

The tailored fit with moderately tapered leg, ensures a sharp, modern-classic look, allowing them to transition effortlessly from the golf course to the clubhouse, or even into a smart-casual setting. Key functional details include classic chino styling and a practical non-slip interior waistband lining that helps keep your shirt neatly tucked, which is practical when bending down to read putts.

+ Stylish alternative to waterproof pants
+ Keeps winter chills out
- Not fully waterproof

These slim fitting thermal pants from Original Penguin are a compelling alternative for the style-conscious golfer that plays all year round. They look like any normal pair of golf pants but are actually made of a thick and stretchy thermal material that does an incredible job of keeping any chill at bay. On colder outings these allow you to go without an additional pair of pants but it must be said on milder days these do feel quite warm and breathability isn't what we hoped. As we mentioned though these are ideal for cold rounds because the soft inner lining adds warmth and feels comfortable against your skin. While they’re not technically fully waterproof, we wore them during some heavy showers on the course and didn’t get any water coming through.
