For some
golfers, mid-layers can feel too bulky to swing a club in. Even though modern
golf sweaters and jackets are made from stretchy material so as not to restrict
the golf swing, many would still rather play in a tee shirt all year round if
the weather allowed it.
This is
where a gilet, or vest, becomes a fantastic option. These garments tick many boxes
for those who would rather not play with long sleeves.
Sound like you? You’re in the right place. Here are some of the best golf gilets for ladies on the market.
This windproof, water-repellent gilet is made from durable synthetic material. The comfortable lining is made from a blended cotton fabric with good breathability. The lining keeps you cosy and warm out on the fairways but prevents an unpleasant build-up of heat around the body. The sporty design also features two closable side pockets and an inside pocket, giving the wearer plenty of room to store accessories. Meanwhile, the high collar and the impermeable two-way zip fastener offer additional wind protection.
This stylish full-zip mid-layer, made from PRIMEGREEN recycled materials, has been designed with a combination of textured herringbone and flat-knit panels. The brand’s COLD.RDY technology works by trapping heat against the body, and it’s also brushed on the inside for increased warmth and a soft feel. It has been cut to provide a regular fit and is highlighted with the Adidas badge of sport on the left lower hem.
The stylish Cece is a lightweight vest with stretch properties that offers wind and water resistance, plus it is highly breathable for extra performance. It’s designed with a full-zip opening with front pockets and full zip opening and is reversible for a combination of distinctive styles. It comes in two colours: Navy/Aquatic and Black Multi/Black.
This lightweight style is waterproof and has been prequilted for optimal insulation. A high collar and elasticated hem help provide additional warmth and protection from the cold and wet, while the contrast chevron design creates a flattering silhouette that’ll undoubtedly make this a wardrobe favourite. In fact, this particular gilet has plenty of off-course appeal as well.
Galvin’s Lene vest features INTERFACE-1™ technology. These garments are made with materials that offer optimum protection and comfort in windy conditions. The soft materials also offer high levels of breathability as well as windproof and water-repellent properties. It includes front pockets with zippers and is suitable for wear off the course as well on it.
The Puma Cloudspun vest offers lightweight comfort and warmth due to the Primaloft gold insulation in the front and back panels. It features a full zip, zip hand pockets with soft, brushed lining and cloudspun side panels for additional comfort. The quilted detailing is a popular style.
As the name suggests, the Storm Revo vest offers protection from the rain. The brand’s Storm technology repels water without sacrificing breathability. Meanwhile, the stretch-woven outer fabric with soft fleece lining keeps you warm without excess bulk or weight. The reflective details enhance this garment’s style, while the zip hand pockets offer the wearer a good amount of room for accessories. For those who don’t like pink, this gilet is also available in Black/Metallic Silver, which looks particularly smart.
Sunderland’s Tania vest is an ultra-lightweight shell with ripstop fabric for increased weather resistance. Active smart fibre thermoregulates to climatic changes to release excess heat. It also recirculates body heat to maintain body temperature for thermal warmth. Smart and stretchy, it stands up well to rain showers and wind.
The Elgin Hybrid vest has a seamless quilted windproof fabric that is padded at the front and back. The side panels and shoulders are made of stretchable fleece, allowing you to swing the club without feeling restricted. It’s also brushed on the inside and has a square pattern for better air circulation that will keep you nice and warm. Meanwhile, elastic binding at the armhole keeps the wind out. It also features a full front zipper with reflective piping and two front pockets.
