Cold Weather Gear


Recommended Posts

It's getting Chilly here in NY
I'm going to be tee'ing off in 2 hours and it's supposed to be 40º. Since we walk, that helps keep you warm but I was wondering what do others ware in the cold weather?

I have been trying to find a good jacket for golf that is both wind-proof and warm, will allow movement for my golf swing, but not be too loose, and have elastic around the sleaves so that the club doesn't get caught in your jacket when you choke up on the club. So far I have come up empty.

Also, has anyone else tried the Footjoy Wintersof gloves? Are they really bluky and affect your grip? Are there better cold weather gloves out there?

I just trying to find a way to extend my season so I can continue to play until the snow falls :(

Thanks,

One thing you should heavily consider getting is an Under Armour Cold Gear Compression mock. Those things will keep you very warm. As for the gloves, those are not bad but when I use them on my right hand I feel like it is a little bulky.

Unless it is "really" cold, I have found keeping the wind off my body is sufficient. For that reason, I favor the following cold weather outfit:

1. Moc Tee Shirt base garmet;

2. Pullover - even a sweatshirt will do. Fleece is nice in colder temps

3. Windproof Vest.

 

If it is really cold: I discovered places like Pelham stay open unless threre is snow on the ground. To keep fresh, I'll drive down and walk 18 in February or March.

 

1. Moc Long Sleeve Compression Garmet (I find Underarmou Itchy)

2. Fleece pullover - Use a "warmer" weave the colder it gets

3. Vest - if it is cold - I will wear a vest over the Moc and under the pullover.

4. Windbreaker - I prefer one with a zipper - it allows me to control temperature by opening/closing it.

5. Long Underwear

6. Wind pants

7. Must wear "WOOL" socks

8. I use Mizuno Winter gloves. A little bulky, I can live with them better then trying to deal with those "mitt" things.

 

THE KEY TO KEEPING WARM - YOU MUST COVER YOUR DOME.

Most of your heat loss will come out the top of your head. Get a good polartec fleece hat that covers your ears.

 

Food: AVOID alcohol and keep some hot tea in a thermos.

 

Good luck - where do you play?

I have a Zero Restrion Windstopper fleece which is FANTASTIC in cold - warm and stops wind. I have had FJ and Zero gloves and lke Zeros better. However, I would rather have cart mits and use normal gloves.

 

As others have said, hat is key.

 

I bought some under armor last year and could not get used to the tight feel. I prefer a long sleeve running technical piece of gear over it.

 

I haven't had to pull out the cold weather stiff yet and hope it is a while off still.
