The golf quarter zip should be a staple clothing item in any golfer's wardrobe. Delivering warmth, comfort and style, quarter zips can be worn all-year-round for any kind of temperatures. From those sub-zero days on the course, for that chilly twilight round in the spring; having a good quarter zip can help you both look good and feel good on the golf course. Akin to some of the best golf tops or best golf sweaters most quarter zips are also versatile enough that they can be worn off the golf course in social settings, adding either a sporty or a smart look to any outfit.
Particularly in colder conditions though, these mid layers can deliver a very handy extra layer of warmth that'll keep you feeling comfortable on the course. Additionally they also work well on those days when it is too hot for a thicker sweater, and too cold to just wear a polo.

+ 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-XXL

+ 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.

+ 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.

+ Simple yet stylish design
+ Protects from the cold, wind and rain
- A full zip would make it easier to put on/off
In terms of thermal properties, there won’t be many that can beat what the Ultimate365 arctic jacket has to offer. Much like the gilet in this collection, it does a great job of keeping the winter chills out, helped by the soft interior zipped pockets.
The material appears to have a coating that keeps water out too, which is helpful should you get caught in a passing shower. It comes up a little snug and short in the arms, which makes sliding it on and off a little trickier than it probably should be given the quarter zip design, but the warmth and protection you get makes it worth the effort.
Sizes: S-XXL

+ Classy looks
+ Stretch aids performance
- Perhaps a touch visually uninspiring
If you want an understated but classy looking mid layer to slide on during those cool early morning rounds then this number from Peter Millar certainly fits the bill. Visually there’s not much to talk about besides the subtle oval print throughout although it does come in three colors so you can match it to your favorite pair of pants more easily.
This is a really pleasing top to wear on the course - super comfortable with plenty of stretch and relatively loose fitting, which will please those who would welcome a little more room. While it perhaps doesn’t have the off-course appeal of others in this guide, it certainly provides a sophisticated look if that’s what you’re after.
Sizes: S-XXL

+ Warm and comfortable throughout the round
+ Great freedom of movement
- Dimple knit material might not be to everyone’s taste aesthetically
This midlayer is the perfect partner on those cold, wintery days on the golf course. The exceptionally comfortable, moisture wicking fabric hugs your body and provides all the warmth you need to enjoy your golf when the temperatures plummet. Heat retention is also maximized thanks to a fleece lined shoulder fabric that adds that little extra layer of luxury to this versatile garment. The fitted feel doesn’t inhibit the swing, however.
Freedom of movement is provided in the Raglan sleeve construction and the dimple knit jacquard fabric, meaning mobility is certainly not an issue. The premium materials look and feel great even after a number of washes, so you can get out on the course again and again. I often wear this item both on and off the course, so it’s a great addition to any golfer’s wardrobe.
Sizes: XS-3XL

+ Very comfortable and stretchy
+ Great fit
- No pockets
The Namhan Midlayer from Reflo is a very comfortable, slim-fitting garment that has an impressive amount of stretch thanks to an 80% polyester-20% elastane construction. It offers up good levels of warmth on chilly days as well as protection from the wind. It comes in a striking design that looks very sleek with the stripes, orange zip section and stitched Reflo logo on the left arm.
There are no pockets, however, and the Namhan only comes in one color option currently. It commands a fairly premium price tag but we would say that is justified thanks to a premium feel and the sustainable effort from Reflo with the polyester being recycled. It can also function very well for any other active outdoor sport, too, so we would rate this highly.

+ 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.

+ 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!

+ Stylish and versatile
+ Flexible and comfortable
- Only one color choice
Penguin has a reputation for producing some of the more jazzy, colorful and out-there garments on the market today, but this sweatshirt proves the brand can more than hold its own when it comes to the more conventional, too. It’s a very smart and stylish garment, and while it’s a shame it’s only available in one color option, the gray that has been chosen is both refined and versatile. It’s a perfect jumper for those mild autumn and spring days, or when the sun sets in summer, and the range of motion it provides is exceptional. Indeed, it has added stretch built in, the moisture wicking fabric will keep your temperature well regulated and it's machine washable, too.

+ Excellent temperature control
+ Minimalist design will go with anything
- Comes up slightly small
The minimalist design of this Waffle Fleece quarter-zip will go with a variety of outfits both on and off the golf course. Available in three block colors, there is a design for most golfers and the darker finishes will suit winter months when the wet ground conditions cause mud to be thrown up.
I should note it is slightly snug across the chest but this is only a small issue, and it is easy to go up a size to avoid this. Where this garment stands out is in the temperature control, with it performing excellently in cold, autumnal conditions. It does this via something called WarmCell technology and, in testing, it did a top job of keeping the heat in when the wind was blowing and the temperature dropped.

+ Material feels great against your skin
+ Breathable fabric
- Fits quite large so sizing tricky
Sporty, stylish and oh so comfortable, the Nike Victory Dri-Fit Top is an indispensable layering piece for any golfer. Crafted from smooth, stretchy knit fabric, this top ensures that sweat won't cause you any issues over 18 holes. Nike's Dri-FIT technology wicks away moisture, keeping you dry and comfortable, while the Therma Flex fabric adapts to your body's temperature, providing warmth without restricting movement.
The textured fabric looks fantastic and I think it’s easy to match with any outfit. The zip design offers adjustable airflow, and its regular fit layers effortlessly over your favorite polo. I would recommend going a size down if you prefer a more athletic fit as this particular mid-layer does come up quite long compared to other options on the market.

+ Comfortable and lightweight
+ Easy to play in with no restriction on your swing
- Slim fit so may not suit all body shapes and sizesSnippet:
Having come across Zero Restriction gear recently I was pleasantly surprised at the quality that they offer. The range of clothing is exceptional and looks great which is a bonus! This quarter zip I have in the charcoal heather/black color which looks fantastic and sharp. The quarter zip comes together nicely with my other clothing such as my Z2000 jacket.
The thin melange knit is perfect for playing in the autumn/winter and can be easily layered under a jacket when it gets colder or for those early morning rounds. With the modern style of this product, I feel that it can be useful not only out on the golf course but also as a general leisure or sporty looking item that can be worn in a variety of different scenarios all year round.

+ Classic, versatile design.
+ Thin, flexible, and lightweight material
- Not as warm as some mid-layers
As soon as you slide the TravisMathew Highway Men Quarter Zip on, you’ll instantly realize this is where your "lazy handsome" look begins. The premium, stretchy fabric is extremely soft -while still managing to maintain a feel of structure and smartness. It may not provide the bulk of a parka, but it offers ideal mid-layer warmth, making it the perfect defense against a brisk early tee time.
The relaxed fit means your swing is completely unhindered, and the smart, clean styling ensures you’ll receive a few compliments in the clubhouse. It's blissfully simple, lacking any fiddly extras. For comfort and convenience, and versatility, this quarter zip is tough to beat. Perfect for the golfer who values maximum comfort and wants to look put-together without sacrificing that essential, relaxed, comfortable Sunday morning feeling.

+ Stylish design
+ Versatility
- No pockets
The jacquard pattern across the body gives this quarter zip fleece an attractive point of difference, and the Ping Eye logo on the right shoulder and Eye Mark logo on the back neck complete the look. Combined with modern performance, the Nolan, which is available in four very different colors, is well worth a place in your golfing wardrobe. This is all about providing lightweight warmth for when the temperature dips - and it certainly ticks this box.
The material is super stretchy, too, which means golfers won’t sacrifice any range of movement when playing. Meanwhile, the water-resistant finish makes it suitable for wear in light rain, a useful attribute in changeable weather conditions. The lack of pockets might deter some people from purchasing. Overall, however, this is a smart and super versatile offering.

+ Soft, comfortable material
+ Folds down very small
- Not the warmest mid-layer available
The mid-layer may not have the star-quality of a bright polo or the technology of a waterproof jacket, but it’s a vital part of any golfer’s wardrobe which provides quick warmth when you need it most. The Callaway Odyssey 1/4 Zip Pullover is the perfect example and comes into its own on those summer rounds where the temperature is unpredictable. It’s made from a soft-touch brushed knit fabric which is very comfortable and lightweight, meaning it slips off and on easily and folds down very small to store in your golf bag.
It features Callaway's proprietary Opti-Dri technology which provides moisture-wicking performance and UPF 50+ UV protection. The design takes inspiration from the brand’s chevron logo and is finished with a 1/4 zip neck along with Callaway and Odyssey logos for a tour-inspired look.

+ 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.

+ Premium quality feel both inside and out
+ Incredible temperature control in the coldest conditions
- Ever so slightly on the heavier side
When I tested various Oscar Jacobson clothing recently, this was my favorite item of the lot, as the looks, fit, premium feel and quality was just superb. In all honesty, I found it difficult to find a negative, such was the performance from the Rumsey Sweater.
Featuring a mix of different materials, the woolen exterior combines perfectly with stretchy lining, creating a sweater that doesn't restrict your movement in the swing. It has ribbed cuffs and hem, which only heightens the comfort aspect as they remain in place throughout the swing, while the thick construction is excellent in the coldest climates. Not only does it perform on the course, but the color options and smart fit means it's a viable option off it.
Sizes: S-XXXL

+ Extremely warm
+ Constructed from recycled fabric
- The design on the back will divide opinion
The Galvin Green Dean is a superb quarter zip that is ideal for cooler autumn and winter rounds. The snug fit and soft fabric feel great against your skin, and fit fantastic, providing an athletic silhouette. Created using 90% recycled polyester, the Dean is both a sustainable product and also one that delivers premium performance. During my time testing the midlayer it kept me incredibly warm, while still managing to regulate my body temperature so I didn’t overheat during long walks up hills, or during quick sprints to try and spot if my ball had flown out of bounds.
The Dean is a great all rounder that could be worn over a polo on warmer days or part as a layering outfit when temperatures start to drop. Available in a variety of different colors, the block color design is potentially on the safe side, but it’s a really solid offering, and one that’s very versatile.
Sizes: S-XXL

+ Simple good-looking style and design
+ Brushed interior finish has a warm feel to it
- Limited stretch properties in the shoulder area due to the front fabric
Having tried several tops from the Stuburt collection at the same time as part of our comprehensive testing program, the size and fit can vary a little from one garment to another and this is certainly one top where you will probably wish to consider going up a size.
The top itself does have stretch properties however, and I really liked the brusher interior finish as well which offered a warm feel to it. Overall despite the small sizing issue, and the limited stretch in the shoulder area, it looks good, feels nice to wear thanks to the brushed finish on the inside and won’t break the bank.

+ Excellent value
+ Versatile
- There are more ‘technical’ sweaters available
The ProQuip Mistral Zip Neck Cotton sweater is an under-stated and simple bit of gear. While that probably sounds like damning with faint praise, there’s a lot to be said for a mid-layer that works on the golf course, but doesn’t look out of place as an everyday wardrobe staple. This is clear value and the price is at the value end of the spectrum in the first place.
As I said, it’s pretty simple - a quarter zip style, made from 55% polyester/45% cotton sweatshirt type material. The zip has some nice details - color contrast piping and a leather pull. The inside of the collar also has contrast colouring, the material is soft to the touch, offers decent warmth – especially under a jacket – and the fit is relaxed but doesn’t interfere with your game. It isn’t an especially technical garment, so doesn’t wick as well as other tops on the market.
Sizes: S-XXXL
Colors: 4
+ You’re looking for a lightweight layer over a shirt
+ You prefer a fitted feel around cuffs and waist
- Thin fabric, so little on offer in the way of warmth
This ¼-zip top has a nice feel inside and out and a classy look thanks to the touches of a second color on the zip, logo and the inside of the mock-style neckline. Those who particularly like a more fitted feel around the wrist cuffs and waistline will prefer this to other similar-looking tops in Ashworth’s range, such as the Peached Tech ¼ Zip.
This top is the perfect weight and feel for those early starts or twilight finishes in the main season, when the heat of the day has not yet arrived or is on the wane. The only minor negative is that the zip seems a little balky when pulling down from the top to open. Other than that, a very decent top at a more than decent price.
Sizes: S-3XL

+ Looks superb
+ Buttery-soft fabric
- Potentially limited off-course appeal
The Sunday Swagger Q-Zip ticks so many boxes - almost every single one, in fact. The only downside is that it maybe isn’t the best option away from the course, aesthetically, as it's obviously a sporty midlayer. However, that really is clutching at straws as the Sunday Swagger Performance Q-Zip just knocks it out of the park in every other way. Starting with looks, the Trap colorway that I tested looks so suave and sophisticated while offering the all-around practicality you would want from any midlayer. The polyblend material is not only stretchy and moisture-wicking, but it’s buttery soft and keeps you perfectly warm even when the wind is up, too. The fit was perfect, down to the tighter forearms to stop wayward sleeves interfering with your swing and the strong collar which allows you to pull the zip down without worrying about the collar wilting. Love, love, love.

+ Excellent all-round fit
+ Thinner material still maintains heat in cold conditions
- More color options would be nice
Slipping on the Elevated Warm Quarter Zip, I was very impressed by a number of factors, as it is a no nonsense garment that does everything it's supposed to do and more.
Admittedly, I would have liked to have seen more color options, and some pockets, but there's no denying that the comfort is superb, as the wicking finish, stretchy material and elastic cuffs means it stayed in place throughout the swing and while walking. There was no need to adjust the sleeves as they remained in place throughout the duration of the round. Although its a thinner material, it still kept heat in well and the minimalist look means it can be worn on and off the course

+ Modern, slightly baggy design looks great
+ Warm and comfortable
- Only two color choices
The Range Quarter Zip is exactly what I want to see in golf fashion - for too long we’ve all been wearing essentially the same clothes, but Bad Birdie have introduced a modern twist by introducing a slightly baggy quarter zip that looks as at home on the golf course as it would in the pub on a Friday night when you’re out for a few casual drinks with friends.
The subtle Bad Birdie logo compliments the beautiful Pine Green colorway I was sent, with the lovely French terry fabric delivering a laid-back, casual look, but one that will pass the club dress code no matter where you go. The kangaroo-style pockets on the front also provide a safe enclosure for your hands if the weather is a little cold, helping you keep your hands warm.
Sizes: XS-XXL
Colors: 2
+ Understated but smart design
+ Water resistant
- No pockets
This is one of my favorite items of golf clothing. The 100 % polyester fabric is high stretch to accommodate full swing movement, while the quarter zip allows temperature regulation during play. It feels soft and flexible and thanks to its stretch and light construction it doesn’t cling when it gets a bit humid. The cut is modern, fitting close enough to look sharp but leaving room to layer underneath, either with a base layer or polo.
It’s not fully waterproof, but it is water resistant and fills the gap between shirt and heavy outerwear very nicely. The only fault I could find with it was the lack of pockets. This won’t be a problem for everybody but I’m used to putting my hands in my pockets and I kept reaching for ones that weren’t there. I solved this by wearing a gilet over it, but on warmer days that won’t be ideal.
Sizes: XS-XXL

+ Classic Lyle and Scott logo looks great on and off course
+ Super soft material that also keeps you warm
- Needs careful washing
This has quickly become one of my favorite golf ¼ zip jumpers in my extensive collection, mainly because it looks just as great on the course as it does off it. The wool blend is so soft and provides great insulation to keep you warm on the colder days. The stand collar and ribbed sleeves provide excellent comfort and functionality for the amateur golfer, while the regular fit means you don’t feel smothered.
In fact, I’ve worn this garment plenty of times on the course and never once noticed a problem with mobility. Wearing it often means I have also had to wash it a few times, so be sure to pay attention to the care instructions to ensure it maintains its premium feel.
Sizes: S-XXL

+ Brilliant insulation
+ Smart and stylish - can be worn off course as well
- Limited colorways
The Oran quarter-zip arguably embodies everything Glenmuir is about as a brand. It exudes Scotland in terms of its aesthetic, it’s stylish so can be worn on or off the golf course and it's subtle yet incredibly well made. I especially liked the contrasting chest panel, which helped it stand out among the best quarter zips around right now.
I found the recycled fabric to be both flexible and capable of keeping me warm without the need for a jacket on a cool day - helped by the ribbed cuff of the sleeves and the hem at the bottom. If there was one slight drawback regarding the Oran quarter-zip, it’s that there are only three colorways available. A dark green would be an excellent addition, as would possibly a crimson or darker red. But, overall, this has to be one of the best golf midlayers available.
Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 5
+ Super soft material
+ Plenty of colors available
- Not the warmest
This classic quarter zip pullover is the ideal mid layering piece between a polo shirt and a more substantial warm layer, which can be removed should the temperature rise.
Perfect for on and off the golf course, it is made from merino wool for a super soft feel to the fabric while the stretch ensures the snug fit doesn’t make the garment feel overly restrictive. Coming in five color options, there’s plenty of choice to be able to match it to your favorite pants, topping off a stylish look on cooler rounds.
How we test
We test golf quarter zips in the same manner as we do all other pieces of golf apparel and equipment - comprehensively. In relation to the apparel, we put products to the test out on the golf course to see if the design works as it should when having to play in different conditions and play different shots. This is a good way of seeing if a model interferes with the swing at any point too. We then try and use the top off the course as well to see if they are versatile enough to be worn in a social setting. The final point we wanted to mention here is no manufacturer can pay for a good review because our thorough testing team tells it how it is. Speaking of team, the entire Golf Monthly team are regular golfers and as such are able to test a lot of golf apparel from a variety of brands. This allows us to test as much as possible, as efficiently and honestly as possible as well before giving our verdicts to you.
How to choose a golf top
What are some of the things to consider when buying a golf quarter zip? Let's take a look.
Type
Depending on your style preferences, there are a range of different kinds of quarter zips available to you! Perhaps you might want a sporty option that will expand and stretch as you play, or why not get yourself a smarter option, that you may also want to wear in social situations. There are a variety of kinds of mid layers available, each offering different attributes - so pick the right one for you!
Material
Linking with the above point, knowing what you are after will help you decide what material to go for. The fleece models above will keep the cold at bay whilst ones with more spandex in them will help you move easier and won't restrict the golf swing in any way. Additionally we have found the models with cotton in them are often the best for wearing out and about as well, and they are very easy to wash.
Movement
Ultimately this comes down to making sure you get the right size because you don't want something that is too baggy which could catch your hands during the swing, and you don't want something too tight either because that will restrict the swing. As such, we would recommend trying on models and taking swings in them to see if you still offer the same range of movement.
Looks
This is an important factor to consider. Do you want to stand out or just have a more understated look? We think there is something for everyone above.
Versatility
This is another important thing to consider. Do you want to use the quarter zip just on the golf course, or be able to use it anywhere? Many of the models above can do both which is a good way of getting more for your money.
Budget
Finally be aware of your budget so you can find a top that fits into it nicely. Importantly there are models above which come with premium, and value price points so there is something for everyone.

FAQs
Should mid-layers be tight?
That depends on the fit you're looking for. Ideally, a golf mid-layer should offer ample stretch to allow you to comfortably swing the golf club. Most manufacturers build their mid-layers out of a stretchy polyester material that can offer a tight fitting look.
What makes a good golf quarter zip?
Quarter zips need to offer warmth and mobility by not being too constricting on your golf swing. The best mid layers will act as a great layer that you can pack under a lightweight golf jacket for example and add an extra level of warmth for those colder days on the course.
Should I buy a cotton or synthetic quarter zip?
That comes down to your preference as a golfer and there are positives and negatives to each. Cotton is a much warmer material than most and offers a very smart style - yet when it gets wet it can be hard to dry again and will leave you feeling cold on the course. Synthetic materials do the opposite, more often than not they come with moisture wicking technology that will dry quickly, and can be a little more comfortable than cotton.
