Lyle & Scott Golf Windproof ¼ Zip Jacket

Through doing these clothes reviews, I have found you can always rely on Lyle & Scott. No matter the item of golf clothing they always seem to deliver a high-end quality garment. This quarter zip windproof jacket exceeds in that department for both its looks and its performance. It is everything i want from a golf jacket. Lyle & Scott have designed it using windproof and lightweight fabric. Being lightweight is important for me, as although this will mainly be used in the winter, I still hate playing golf in something that is overly bulky. Additionally, the fabric is also stretchy and works with a player’s golf swing, rather than against it.

PROS

Slick design
Windproof
Lightweight

CONS

Is on the more expensive side of things

RRP: £145.00

Sizes: S-XXL

Colours: True Iron/Jet Black

Lyle & Scott Golf Windjammer Shirt

WINDJAMMER! It sounds like something out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. A garment that repels breeze and takes down double bogeys at the same time. It does an admirable job. It’s very light and wraps up smartly in your golf bag but do not mistake that for flimsiness. When the gusts arrive, it is more than up to the task. Lyle & Scott’s regular fit is designed to be comfortable – “not too tight, not too loose” – but I’d have preferred it to be slightly tighter, so you might consider moving up or down a size depending on your preferred fit.

PROS

Excellent at buffeting the wind
Very light on the torso
Wraps up tightly and adds no weight to the golf bag

CONS

I’d prefer a slightly slimmer fit

RRP: £85

Sizes: M-XL

Colours: Jet Black-Granite

In fact, it’s so impressive you must remember to shake it off when you get into a drier space.

PROS

Light, airy and warm – but incredible at repelling water and superb in the wind
Soft feeling fabric is a major plus
PFC free
Sealed seams and, yes, a lifetime guarantee
Anti-snag Velcro cuff adjusters are worth their weight in gold

CONS

Nothing at all!

Sizes: S-3XL
Colours: Navy / Black / Navy-Red-White / Navy-Silver-White / Black-Gunmetal-White / Charcoal-Black-Inferno

Available in White, Black and Navy Blue, the design is simple, ensuring that you can match your top with most outfits. The stretch material allows you to swing easily, something that most golfers struggle with when it comes to wind / waterproof tops.

When the wind subsides, the breathability of the top means that you don’t have to worry about getting uncomfortably warm.

The zip pockets are great for storage and the half zip design make it easy to get on quickly should an unexpected shower arrive. The classic design is complemented perfectly with some subtle branding on the sleeve.

PROS

Stretch material
Classic design

CONS

None

RRP: £80.00

Sizes: S-2XL

Colours: White, Black/White, Navy

Usefully, the jacket comes equipped with two front pockets which have zips so you can easily store your valuables.

Playing in the jacket was really easy, no restriction on my swing and was incredibly lightweight. It was really easy to slide on and off in time for the start and end of an unexpected shower and due to the lightweight and flexibility it helped when packing the jacket away into my bag.

It rolls up really easily and fits into your medium size pocket of your bag with no issues.

Overall I really like Stromberg’s latest tech waterproof, looks really smart, pactical for all year around and a good price point for golf apparel.
