NOBULL Blended Merino Wool Pullover Review

Brands around the world are producing clothing for golf that has allowed the game to keep moving forwards and NOBULL is one of these brands. Since being set up in 2015 by former Reebok employees Marcus Wilson and Michael Schaeffer, the company has expanded and is making its mark in sport all over the world. 

The company first tackled the sport of fitness (CrossFit) and soon became the sport's main sponsor. NOBULL continues to grow and are now the official training partner for the PGA Tour.

The NOBULL brand aims to design “aggressively simple” performance wear and this continues with its line of golf clothing too. This Blended Merino Wool Pullover is just such an example of this, which would also be regarded as one of the best golf hoodies.

The pullover/hoodie fits snug against the body which allows you to wear a jacket or gilet over the top. The athletic fit also means there is very little material getting in the way. I prefer clothing that fits a little more snug when I am playing golf but comfort is all personal preference. If comfort is what you are after, you can’t go wrong with this top. It’s lightweight and thin but the merino wool blend regulates your temperature so you don’t get too hot over those knee-knocking three-footers! 

The style is such that you can easily wear it off the course and I often did! This versatility really enhances the value for money on offer. The jumper has a smart/casual look to it which makes it suitable for every occasion. From a quick nine holes to a session in the gym, the sweater is ready for it all.

The pullover has a subtle reflective print of NOBULL on the left cuff and it also comes with a front pocket kangaroo pouch, which not only offers extra storage space it is also a great place to warm up your hands.

Overall I loved this top because it performed in just about every way I want a top to. There will be some that won't like the hood when playing golf but I did, and when you combine the comfort, looks, design features and feel, then this might just be one of the best golf tops out there at the moment.

Monty is an upcoming golf journalist having completed his Multimedia Journalism degree at Bournemouth University; where he was also apart of the University’s well renowned golf team. He has had a passion for golf ever since he picked up a club at 12 years old and this love for the sport only grew stronger over time as his game developed and he pursued golf through different avenues. His game took him over to the United States on a golf scholarship and has had him travelling the UK to take part in competitions like the Nick Faldo series and general club scratch matches. Monty worked on ‘The Open’ radio team when it was hosted at Royal St George’s getting to walk inside the ropes with some of the top players like Justin Thomas, Rory McIlroy and of course that year's winner - Collin Morikawa. Monty has been lucky enough to have three holes-in-one in his short golfing career and he looks to continue growing that number. Monty believes the ability to continue playing golf well lies in his dedication to keeping fit through his other passion, which is CrossFit.
