Layering is all about functionality and adaptability so you can easily adjust throughout the round as temperatures and conditions change. Multiple thin layers can be warmer than a single thick one while still protecting you from the elements, and aren’t as bulky if you balance proportions following these simple guidelines:
- Start with a base layer like a long or short-sleeve polo, or lightweight cotton blend turtleneck. These allow you to peel off any outer layers and still be comfortably dressed for play.
- Add a mid layer with a V-neck or crewneck sweater, performance vest, hoodie or long sleeve quarter-zip.
- A top layer is the one you’ll take on and off the most. Make it light, functional and packable in your golf bag. Technical pieces that are lightweight, flexible but also have performance features like wind/water resistance are ideal for fall.
