Are you an avid golfer who loves to hit the course no matter the season, rain or shine? Due to golf being a year-round sport, there has to be a variety of apparel to accommodate the changing temperatures and seasons. That means the one essential thing you need to keep cool or warm is a golf jacket.

With the seasons about to change and summer coming to an end, there's no better time to be prepared for the colder seasons ahead by expanding your wardrobe to stay comfortable in the colder weather. 

To help you find the right fit for the season, we’ve taken the time to highlight the features and benefits our golf jackets provide so you can golf comfortably.

But before we get into that, let's discuss what the most important part of a golf jacket is.

Selecting the Right Jacket for Your Day

A golf jacket is a versatile piece of outerwear because of the material it's made of. Each jacket is made with specific parameters and provisions to work with your body and climate. For example, cold climate jackets are made to retain body heat and reduce sweating and moisture build-up.

Golf jackets can help you stay warm, dry, and comfortable while you’re playing – they’re built precisely to function as you move and help you keep your head in the game and focused on your next swing. Golf jackets also help to prevent you from getting sick or injured from exposure to the frigid cold, harsh rain, or wind. 

The technicals aside, you want to look good and fashionable in what you wear.  Golf jackets can improve your confidence and style by giving you a professional and fashionable look to play your next game. That’s why we’ve done the homework for you and put together a list of some of our most popular golf jackets for every season and weather condition.


The Best Golf Jackets for the Fall Season

The fall season is a finicky time of the year with constantly changing weather. Some days can be cold and rainy, others can be hot and humid. Overall, it's a difficult season to choose a singular outfit to be comfortable in throughout the entire season. 


The Best Fall Golf Jackets for Men and Women

TOUR SERIES JACKET BLACK-STEEL

When playing golf in the fall season, you want a golf jacket that is light, breathable, moisture resistant, and prevents overheating all in one. You never know what the weather for the fall season can throw your way.


For both women’s golf jackets and men’s golf jackets, our favorite piece of outerwear is the Tour Series+ Jacket; this lightweight rainwear jacket is designed with 37.5 ® technical fabric to accelerate vapor movements, prevent moisture build-up, and prevent overheating.

The Best Golf Jackets for the Winter Season

Once the fall season comes to an end, it’s time for the cold months of winter to settle in. Layering is important for these cold days on the course.  An outer layer with premium insulation is best to protect your body from getting too chilled. Whether the climate is cool, cold, or frigid, we have a layer that will work best for you and your golf game.
