Every year I have the pleasure of reviewing a whole host of winter golf apparel items. What this process has taught me is that never pre-judge any golf gear before you actually try it out. I can honestly say that the items below I thought I would end up giving a low rating and writing words like – Though not for me they would be great for those looking for XYZ.
So, hands up, I fell into this trap of pre-judgement and now have the delight to list the golf clothing below that come highly recommended and are now firmly in my golf winter wardrobe.
Let’s dive in and see which items have made a middle aged man, who jumps to unfounded conclusions, a totally changed person, in a literal wardrobe sense, but also as I embark on a journey towards having a more open mind!

The Fab Four
Peter Millar Pine Performance Hoodie
Hands up, I am not a golf hoodie wearer – until this year! The Sunderland hoodie made me view these items in a different light. Dare I say, I am a hoodie convert! I absolutely loved this Peter Millar hoodie.
The fit is perfect – snug but not tight, and it moves easily with me. The stretch is impressive, making it super comfortable during swings (and walks).
I was surprised at how warm it kept me, even on a cooler day, without feeling bulky. The fabric felt soft and breathable, so I never felt overheated.
I also liked how easy it was to care for – just toss it in the wash and dry.
Overall, this hoodie is a great mix of comfort, style, and warmth. It’s become my go-to piece for golf days and casual wear. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a hoodie that fits well and feels great.

Out on the course there was freedom of movement to my swing – though thicker than a usual base layer there is stretch and give in it.
It seemed to somehow regulate my temperature whereby sweating was never an issue. I also liked how it fitted round my neck, not too tight and not too loose. As such I concur that the Japanese patented heatrub technology – the furry lining – worked for me.
The final test was getting it off. For me, and it might just be me, sometimes getting a base layer off can be a bit of a challenge due the tightness and stretchiness. For those who know what I am talking about you will know what I mean! You will be glad to know that the Zerofit Ultimate base layer passed with flying colours with the getting off test. So much so, I think it should be renamed the FitsAll Ultimate base layer.
I was so intrigued by this item that I put it to the test whilst watching my kids play sports most of the day on a chilly Sunday. The comfort and warmth were still there and I even left it on when I got home. Something I would never do with my usual base layers – I cannot wait to get them off!
So, for these reasons it is a 5 out of 5 and totally recommend.
