Once summer has been and gone, golf jackets become one of the most important pieces of golfing equipment an amateur golfer owns. Unlike the professionals, many of us do not have the option to go and play our rounds in South Africa, America or Australia, the only option we have is to grin and bare the UK weather and something that certainly makes rounds in the Autumn and Winter more enjoyable are golf jackets.
Golf jackets come in various colours, sizes and styles and range tremendously in price. A good golf jacket will cost anywhere between £50 and £200, in some cases more. You certainly get what you pay for when it comes to golf jackets and typically, the more you pay, the longer your golf jacket will last and the higher the quality will be.
Best Golf Jackets
Galvin Green Golf Jackets are regarded as the top of the range. Costing around £170 they offer comfort, class and quality in a fashionable jacket that will stay with you for the majority of your golfing career.
There are several top quality golf jackets made by Nike. Nike golf jackets are of incredible quality and cost around £99. They are very waterproof meaning that a spot of rain is not going to bother you one bit and again, will last you a very long time.
One of my personal favourite golf jackets is the sunderland golf jacket. Costing £99.99 and coming in a variety of styles and sizes this is a jacket that is heavy duty and still comfortable on the course. Much like the two golf jackets above, it eases through difficult conditions and keeps your body warm enough to keep playing the standard you want and need to come away from the course completely satisified.
Golf Jackets For Men
With golf jackets primarily being purchased by men, there is a great range of golf jackets for men available, a few of those the particular models mentioned above. Golf jackets for men need to be warm, comfortable and waterproof. When a golf jacket has those 3 aspects, you really cannot go too far wrong.
Simply pick a colour and style that matches a lot of your golf clothing already and you will not only feel extreme comfort on the course, but fashionable too.
Ladies Golf Jackets
All lady golfers need a reliable ladies golf jacket and thankfully, in more recent months there have been several quality ones on offer. Ping ladies golf jackets are by far and away the most popular due to the all round quality and durability of them. Costing around £70 each, they look good, feel great and will last a very long time (in other words they do the job!).
If you’re not a fan of Ping then you can try the ladies Sunderland golf jacket which is also fantastic and perhaps even the Ashworth ladies golf jacket which is more of a windbreaker style coat and costs around £20.
Waterproof Golf Jackets
Waterproof golf jackets are an absolute must for any serious golfer so make sure you add one to your ensemble today. There is nothing worse than heading out to the course and finding yourself in the middle of a terrential downpour on hole fourteen, 3000 yards away from the clubhouse with no waterproofs. Waterproof golf jackets add to the enjoyment of your round and who knows, maybe a magic coat will knock a few shots off your game too.
Ensure you take a look at several golf jackets before deciding on exactly which want suits you.
