Review: Mizuno WindLite Sweater is my Personal favorite for 40*F to 60*F


easyyy

Recommended Posts

Battle tested warmest and less intrusive top I have ever owned...
Mizuno WindLite Sweater is my personal favorite for 40*F to 60*F. Its a sweater with a windproof barrier lining inside. Now dont think this barrier will restrict your swing because it doesnt at all. The cut is perfectly designed to allow you plenty of room for a swing and an athletic move without feeling restricted at all. The lining also stretches to allow you more flexibility.

I have owned these for years. I bought my first one from Miles of Golf in Ypsilanti Michigan for $120.00 approx. Didnt think much of it at the time. Honestly bought it more for looks than the performance that I learned later about. Next I noticed that I could wear this sweater in the coldest of days and be warm. I am talking cold. I am a mudder and play in Michigan till the snow flies and sticks.

Wearing clothes that maintains body temps and stops the wind are typically heavy, noisy and screws up the swing. I wear a long sleeve thermo shirt under this sweater (or a golf shirt if it is warmer say 50-60) and then this sweater and play in anything.

I am talking ANYTHING> Let it blow baby and the wind cant cut in. I took this sweater to Scotland and it was cold and windy. I was perfect. Mittens with hand warmers and stocking hat will do it. 5/5/5 and auto press on 2.

Mizuno isnt a sponsor and there is nothing in it for me to throw this out there. I love this sweater and think it is best in class.


Mizuno's website says...

Mizuno says its a lightweight guage knit sweater with Mizuno WindLite™ technology provides a windproof barrier. Also the WindLite Windproof and water repellent membrane provides protection to maintain core body temperature.



Here are pics of my 2 new ones (one for my father who looks like the little brother in Christmas Story when its cold layered so badly)...





Here is the liner on the inside that is stretchy and blocks out the wind...




Here is the front and back side of the sweater....

i own one also. they fit true to size. my only caution is that they are SUPER warm. if you are semi warm blooded, which i am, they can be on the warm side. but as far as fit and playability, they are great.

I think I need to get one of these. How does the sizing fit?
[/quote]

True to size. I wear large shirts perfectly. 42 jacket and the large sweater fits like a glove.

Thank you! I'm a cold blooded reptile so these will be perfect for me with the weather starting to cool off. Like the white one the best.

Here is one on the bay for cheap if you can tolerate the color.

I've seen lots of great reviews for these. They were hard to find for a while last year. I'm glad Mizuno brought it back. GPP didn't have my color so I ordered from mizunousa.com.

I would like to add my praise for the windlite sweater...i have 2009 model and it is amazing!! playing in 30-45 weather is easy, all you need is a compression top (available at walmart/target for cheap) and this sweater...the beauty of it is that you can use it and not feel restricted! To battle the cold weather you also need an appropriate pair of pants..last year I purchased 4 pairs of galway bay pants (http://www.gbagolf.com) and the are great as well...fleece lined with cuff to prevent wind from blowing up the pant legs, and they really keep you warm..worth checking out...any colder and you should be at home!

That mock under the sweater is what I wear when it's COLD. We walk, and those 2 pieces make it playable in any temp. We played last year with wind chills below zero. Those 2, plus the Mizuno sock hat, made it no problem at all. Can't praise them enough.

If you wait to order, they will be sold out.

And, there is NO WAY you can wear it when it is 60* out. It'll sweat you out of it at 45*, let alone 60.

First time wearing it, 45* yesterday with some wind. UA Heatgear underlayer w/ short sleeve polo underneath. Sweater did the job, very comfortable, looks good, did not hamper swing at all. But late in the round started feeling chilled because my inner layers were damp from perspiration. Can't really vent this sweater, even zipper all the way down is not much of an opening. I just have to watch how I layer but this sweater is very good at holding in heat.

I also have the Mizuno Windlite vest that I like alot. Fewer problems with sweating.

Researching layering a bit since I'm no expert. This link was informative:

The Mizuno sweater qualifies as an insulating layer. One important feature of your insulating layer:
