The weather is turning pretty foursome out there. For those of you who aren’t just fair weather golfers, your going to need some top quality winter gear to battle the Great British winter. I can’t promise it will help you swing it like Rory but it will bring a bit more joy to those rain soaked rounds.

Best Abacus Golf Autumn Winter Apparel – Mens
Abacus Portrush Hybrid Vest
I do love the practicality and flexibility of a gilet. So much so that I rarely play golf without either wearing one or carrying one in my bag. And this latest iteration of the Portrush hybrid vest from Abacus is as good a gilet as I’ve tested. No matter that it comes in a whole host of sizes and a range of five different colours. The large size fitted my 173cm 74kg shape just perfectly and the navy colour looked great with contrasting white full-length zip and white detailing at the top and bottom of the two roomy zippered pockets.
So, it looks the part and offers performance to match. It is strongly insulating and packs away compactly in a golf bag. I’ve worn it as a second layer, over a polo shirt, right up to a fourth layer on bitter, windy days. It’s also easy to layer a waterproof shell over the top when it starts raining.
There’s nothing not to like about the Abacus Portrush hybrid vest – the only decision you need to make is what colour to choose. It comes highly recommended!

The glove comes in no less than six sizes so you should definitely be able to find a close fit. The size supplied to me was M/L and I think I’d have been better with an M- they did just fit a little loosely. A velcro closure at the opening of the glove ensures a cosy fit. However, for me, these gloves are unlikely to find their way into my golf bag for regular winter use, because they don’t offer a sensitive enough feel for competitive golf. Maybe I’ll wear them a couple of times a year for the obligatory Christmas hit and giggle parties with a few holes of golf attached. But I’ll generally be far more likely to wear the excellent insulating Abacus Gullane mittens for warmth between shots.

I wore it in a medium as a uk 8 in tops and found it to be the perfect fit. It has enough stretch in it as well as being very breathable.
Overall, a great diverse garment that I shall be wearing plenty more both in the summer and winter for layering.
