MENS GOLF JACKETS

Most men’s golf jackets are lightweight, allowing you to walk and swing freely during play without restricting movement. Light material means golf jackets are easy to carry and fit comfortably in any bag without adding any serious weight.

All men’s golf jackets are different, but waterproof golf jackets offer a barrier between you and the rain to keep you dry during a round. The material waterproof golf jackets are made from provides exceptional dryness and comfort. Most use a synthetic outer fabric bonded to a waterproof, breathable membrane, such as GORE-TEX, with taped seams so that water can’t get through the stitching.

A golf windbreaker jacket is a piece of golf outerwear designed to repel the wind to prevent golfers from being affected by cold temperatures. Golf windbreaker jackets are also good at fending off light rain, helping golfers remain warm and dry during games.

When it comes to choosing golf outerwear, you should focus on the weather conditions you expect to play in. Rainy weather demands a waterproof golf jacket, whereas warmer and clearer conditions might call for something like a short-sleeved golf jacket.

If you’re expecting to play in rain frequently, look for a jacket with taped seams and a membrane, such as GORE-TEX, SensoryDry, or HydroSeries. These waterproof membranes have pores that are small enough to stop rain from getting in but large enough to allow air to circulate, keeping your jacket breathable.

It’s worth considering that windshirts and windproof jackets will only withstand light showers.

A men’s golf jacket should fit closely enough to not flap or bunch in the wind, especially during a swing. However, it should be large enough to leave room for layering underneath – especially in the winter. Because of this, it may be worth sizing up.

You can also test your backswing and practice reading a putt or picking up a tee while trying your jacket on to ensure a comfortable fit.

As a general guide, we would recommend washing your jacket on a cool or delicate 30-degree wash without fabric softener. It’s important to use a technical cleaner for the best outcome before air drying (or tumble drying if the garment allows).

You should always check and follow the individual care instructions on the garment label to keep your golf jacket looking its best.

Unlike general jackets, good quality golf outerwear should include ergonomic features, such as stretch fabrics, gusseted underarms, or reduced seam strain to ensure full mobility.

Thanks to their lightweight properties, you also won’t have to worry about dealing with extra bulk or heaviness impacting your speed.
