UNIQLO Recommendations for Fall/Winter Golf (and Spring/Summer)

For those who play in the cold, I wanted to share some of the best items from Uniqlo that I have. I wear Uniqlo off the course so I've eliminated items that aren't ideal for golf. I've narrowed down my recommendations that provide warmth but most importantly, not restricting the swing. Like most of their stuff, everything is mainly solid colors but prices can't be beat in comparison to the bigger golf brands. The order is based on what I recommend the most. Hope you find these helpful.

• Ultra Light Down Vest- Literally the lightest down vest ever. I've got 4 colors.
  
• Heattech Pants - Traditional golf pants but thicker yet still stretchy for ease of movement.
  
• Crew Neck or Mock Neck Heattech Base Layer Long Sleeves
  

• Heattech Half Zip- Similar to the basic 1/4, 1/2 zips but material is fleece.
  
• Fleece Lined Pants - For even colder days, fleece on the inside and a polyester type material outside.
  
• Heattech Base Layer Tights - I save them for the coldest days.
  

Update: Spring/Summer

• Dry-Ex Polos - Their version of the moisture wick materials.
  
• Dry Stretch Active Shorts - Awesome shorts. (Slim fit)
  
• Dry Performance - Those who prefer pants in the summer.
  

Also, they just released the Adam Scott Collection, which even has more stuff that I will definitely be purchasing.

Those heattech slacks look nice.

The length on ALL of their pants is 34 inches. Ummmmmmm what? 90 percent of the population would have to have them professionally hemmed.

Yeah, it's odd but they offer free in-store tailoring. But it's a disadvantage for those without a nearby store. I'm sure the one pant length strategy has something to do with production cost savings or whatever.

It's a great alternative and cheaper option to UA materials. I think it's just as warm, and they have a heat tech line for everything all the way down to socks and underwear.

Wow, I may have to look into these products. The price is certainly nice. I saw a pair of fleece lined Nike pants with a sticker for $100 on them at Golfsmith the other day. can you comment on the durability of the Uniqlo products? I'd rather spend a bit more on another product if durability is not that good.

In terms of quality and durability, I think they are pretty good. I wear a lot of uniqlo products on a daily basis to work and such and they've held up well. The golf specific stuff I wear once a week when I play on the weekends so they of course have gotten less wear. I would suggest getting one of each thing you are interested in and then judge for yourself before you buy multiple colors of each.

Nike Weatherized Pants (the pants you're talking about) are on sale on the nike.com website now for like $60 plus free shipping if you're a Nike.com member which is free. They have pant lengths as well. They are the best sub-55* pants I've ever worn and some of the more comfortable pants...period. I would have paid double what I got them for plus they came in 36" inseem.

These are great pants - unfortunately, they only have midget lengths left, no 34 or 36 inseams are left in stock unless you want to by the weatherized 2.0 pants for $100.

I have a few cotton cashmere sweaters that I love. Lightweight but keep me warm.

Are these too warm for anything over 60*?

I think so. Once you get into the sixties, they will definitely start feeling hot (and get sweaty/uncomfortable).

Just wanted to say thanks to you and the others who chimed in regarding the Nike Weatherized pants. Grabbed a pair on sale on the Nike site. Ended up getting an additional 10% off for pointing out something obvious and that only benefitted me anyway(needed a size 34/30 in gray, but no 40" inseam option was listed, only 34/40 which doesn't exist so got a discount for pointing out the typo...kudos to Nike!

Wore them for a round for the first time today(although it wasn't really that cold...high of 54*), and man, they feel like I'm wearing pajamas. Also didn't feel a hint of chilliness(is that a word?). These are easily the comfiest golf pants I've ever worn...period, and they move so well with your body.

FYI, this coming from someone who tries to avoid anything Nike. These pants are that good...thanks again fellas.

Cheaper alternative for pants? LL Bean/Eddie Bauer - fleece lined jeans. If not into jeans, you can find fleece lined khakis as well. The khakis were a real life saver when I was coaching hockey. Some arena benches are pretty damn cold.

Just went to UNIQLO site and found that the winter pants are $29/pair. That is an unbelievable price. I ordered two pairs to try and see.

Are their vests actually warm? Seem so light

The problem with that suggestion is that once cotton or denim gets wet, it stays wet and gets cold. Most of the performance pants from Nike and others are essentially water proof/resistant.

Curious about this also. If anyone can chime in I'd appreciate it.

I actually wore their vest last week, not the warmest but def does the trick for how minimal it is. 50-55 degrees might be the sweet spot for it.

My heat tech Uniqlo pants just arrived. I am impressed. They look very nice, feel good, and I like the stretchy aspect of them. I can't believe they are only $29; what a deal. I got 2 pairs. Looking forward to wearing them in a few weeks when I go to Arizona with my friends.

Thanks for starting this topic; I've been looking for an excuse to try Uniqlo out. What colors did you guys go with?

I feel like Uniqlo golf wear is kinda cheap. Are people happy with the quality and fabrics?

I got a pair for Christmas and hope to have tolerable weather in the next few weeks to get out and try them. My work schedule tends to give me longer days so I'm usually driving to work and back home from work in the dark. That leaves me little availability for golf, so something cheaper that may or may not have a super lifespan is okay for me. If I were to have a more golf-conducive schedule then I'd probably be more willing to fork over bigger cash for something that was more durable.

Redstorm thanks for the review. They're having a big sale right now so I picked up a few things and am really glad I did. Heatech pants look awesome, couldn't pass at $29. Great fit and feel, should be great for fall and spring . Baselayer stuff also is also nice. Can't comment on the durability but it's good quality.

I can't speak to the durability, but they look nice in person. For $29, I don't think you should expect the quality of a $150 pair of pants. I am fairly picky, and so far, I am impressed. I am going on a golf trip in 2 weeks, and can speak with a little more experience after that trip. They feel nice and look nice.

I have nearly all the items mentioned up top and couldn't be happier. The slacks work on the course and at work and are extremely comfortable and never wrinkle. All the other items are warm and very easy to swing in. Uniqlo is going to be a big player in the coming years

Haven't checked this thread in a while since I didn't play too much over the winter than I planned for but don't forget that Uniqlo items for the summer are awesome as well. The Dry-Ex Polos and the Dry Stretch Active Shorts are awesome and for those who prefer pants in the summer, Dry Performance. Don't pay full price though, Uniqlo always has sales.
