Best Zero Restriction Spring Summer Golf Apparel 2026

It’s that time of the year again when the temperatures begin to rise and the golf season gets into full swing. With it comes a change in golf clothes, as the waterproofs can go back in the drawer for the time being – so we hope!

To help take advantage of the warmer months this year, take a look at some of Zero Restriction’s best bits of spring and summer golf wear.

Zero Restriction (or ZR) is an American brand that was actually established back in 1991, by an individual in a rural Pennsylvanian barn. He worked in the ski industry and was frustrated with the fabrics available to golfers. Raingear guaranteed for life that allowed you to swing a club without restriction was created, and the competitive advantage was recognized by players on the professional tours. ZR was worn by Payne Stewart on his way to victory in the 1999 US Open, by Team USA in the Solheim Cup since 2015, and by the US President’s Cup team in 2019.

Here at NCG we have found they are a brand that has a knack of delivering technical, performance-driven bits of clothing designed to handle everything from cool spring mornings to warm summer afternoons – this is reflected in the price but you are definitely getting premium quality across the Zero Restriction range.

So, which pieces stand out?

Here’s a closer look at some men’s and women’s golf wear and why they deserve a place in your wardrobe…

Zero Restriction Duran Vest

The Duran Vest is a lightweight vest and is my first introduction to ZR. It is constructed from 80% polyester and 20% spandex and is designed to be stretchy, lightweight and versatile. It looks and feels very well put together.

I tested the version in Navy, one of three cool colours. There is a contrasting light blue placket with four button closures. I thought this was a novel alternative to the usual zip closure and I liked it. There are two open side pockets with mesh lining There is a small ZERO logo to the right chest and a motif at the back of the collar. It comes in five sizes. The medium fitted my medium build comfortably, so I’d say runs true to size.

The fit is relaxed and yet smart. On the course I am pleased to report that the ZR Duran allowed unrestricted swinging, so it’s true to the name. I found it to be an excellent layering piece. I have worn it just over a polo, and also as a third layer. It’s also easy to put a waterproof over the top. Although it is lightweight, I’d say it offers decent warmth to weight.

All in all, this is an excellent product that looks the part and I think will get plenty of wear in the coming season. It comes highly recommended.

PROS

Great choice of colours.
Flexible use.
Quality construction.

CONS

Zippered pockets would be nice.

Zero Restriction Hearns Pullover

On the course, the Hearns did indeed offer Zero Restriction when playing. Although it doesn’t look particularly stowable away in a golf bag, it is a remarkably flexible layering piece. I have worn it as a second or third layer, including in combination with the Duran vest. It is also straightforward to layer a waterproof over the top. Although it is light in weight, it does offer good warmth to weight ratio, and the soft brushed finish offers excellent next to the skin comfort.

So, I have been really impressed by my introduction to the ZR brand, both with the Hearns and also the Duran Vest. I anticipate these getting lots of use in the changeable weather that we experience as golfers in the UK.

It is highly recommended.

PROS

Quality construction.
Strong colour choice.
Flexible use, on and off course.

CONS

A little bulky to stow away.

Zero Restriction Summer Sleeveless Polo

In terms of fit I’m 5ft 9 and this is a 17” skort, which sat at a nice length. I wore a small which is my standard size, there was a little slack in the waistband so possibly could have sized down for a tighter fit.

Its stretchy make up is very comfortable and lightweight. It comes with UPF 50+ sun protection, so it really is a great garment for those sunny days.

Overall, a great skort for summer!
