11 Best Golf Jackets to Keep Warm on the Course

Innovative technology, including wind, water, and sun protection, are the keys to the Callaway Long Sleeve Full-Zip Wind Jacket.

• Callaway’s premier technology Opti-Repel helps resist wind and rain and Opti-Shield is a layer of protection from the sun’s harmful rays up to UPF 50. It features a full zipper closure with a mock neck for maximum protection from Mother Nature’s elements. It also features the unmistakable Callaway Tour logo on the right sleeve. The jacket has a roomier build so you can get full range of motion on all your swings.

Made of 100 percent polyester, the jacket is machine washable, but it’s recommended to line dry it.

When it comes to quality golf gear, Puma is a name that quickly comes to mind. And their Zephyr Jacket features some of the company’s top technology, including weather resistant construction.

Made of 100 percent breathable polyester, Puma’s windCELL technology provides ample protection from wind, rain, and other elements as the jacket’s exterior shell will keep you dry and comfortable. We all know how important that is on and off the course. As a convenience, there are also zippered front pockets on either side. The stylish design has contrasting zipper and cuff colors.

Featuring the Puma “Cat” logo on the left arm, the jacket is available in three colors — Peacoat (pictured), Puma Black, and Quarry.

Calvin Klein isn’t exactly a brand that comes to mind when thinking of golf, but their 24/7 Ultra-Lite Jacket is a model any player would love to have thanks to its versatility.

As the name says, the jacket is “ultra-lite” but doesn’t sacrifice its ability to keep you safe from the elements. It features water repellent fabrics which keep the rain off of you and the attached hood is a cool feature. As for wind resistance, the jacket has a full-length zipper and stretch cuffs and waist to keep out the breeze and cold air. The collar is also adjustable thanks to the drawcord. 

Other highlights include flexible construction (85 percent nylon, 15 percent spandex), two front zip pockets, and a zippered pocket on the front left chest for a little extra storage for stuff like tees, golf balls, or even divot repair tools. 

It will be here before you know it (September 2020), but you can hit the course right now in the 2020 Ryder Cup Nike Thermal Repel Half-Zip Pullover Jacket.

Made of 100 percent polyester, the jacket features Nike’s Thermal-Fit technology, which while being lightweight and breathable, is designed to provide extra warmth on cooler days. The mock collar (which has a zipper “garage” to keep the end of the zipper away from your face) and drop-tail hem provide added coverage for those windy afternoons on the course. It also has a water-repellent finish to help keep you dry when it’s raining. All necessary features for playing golf when the conditions aren’t the best.

The Adidas Climaheat Hybrid Full Zip combines innovative technology and style to make one of the best golf jackets available today for cooler weather.

The Climaheat fabric is all about keeping you warm and dry — exactly what a golfer needs for a day out on the course when Mother Nature isn’t cooperating. There are heat guards on the sleeves to prevent warmth from escaping and the drop tail provides even more coverage. And the jacket features two front pockets so you can keep your hands warm and hold things like extra tees or golf balls.

It’s made of 96 percent polyester and 4 percent elastane, which helps eliminate constriction when you’re taking your shots. The jacket is machine washable (I recommend line drying, though) and available in four colors — Black, Mid Grey (pictured), Petrol Night, and Red Night. Each has Adidas unmistakable logo on the left sleeve.

The Dry Fit Pullover Quarter Zip Fleece Golf Jacket from Three Sixty Six offers comfort, style, and functionality at a reasonable price.

Made of quick-drying polyester, the jacket has stretchy ribbed cuffs, collar, and waist band for maximum flexibility. The fleece fabric is designed to keep you warm in cooler temperatures, but it’s also very lightweight and constructed to provide excellent breathability. Whatever the temperature, this pullover jacket has you covered (no pun intended). There’s also a quarter-zipper.

The pullover, which is available in eight colors, has slimmer fit, so if you prefer a looser garment, it’s recommended you order a size larger than you normally would.

If you’re in the market for a multi-purpose jacket that can be used on and off the course then you might want to take a look at the Columbia Ascender Softshell Jacket.

And as for wind protection, the jacket’s softshell exterior and standing collar is designed to keep you warm. Also, there are adjustable cuffs and a drawcord waist to even further its wind-resistance. 

It features two front zippered pockets and a zip chest pocket, ideal for holding a cell phone or other golf accessories.

When it comes to active sports apparel, Under Armour is well known for their high quality golf jackets. That’s because of UA’s innovative technology, like Storm and ColdGear.

Storm technology repels water, preventing it from getting into the interior so you stay dry and comfortable all round long. ColdGear uses a soft inner coating which absorbs your body heat to ensure you stay warm on those colder days. And while the jacket is lightweight and very breathable, it also features windproof materials. 

Made of 100 percent polyester, the UA Storm Elements Jacket has two front pockets and “action back construction” so there will be no restrictions on your shot whether you’re teeing off with the driver or hitting out of the sand.

The jacket, which is made of 100 percent polyester, has fully sealed seams as well as splashproof zippers so its water-resistance is top-notch. There are also adjustable velcro storm cuffs at the wrist so you can get a secure fit while also keeping out wind and water. The 3-layer membrane is designed to keep the wind out, but also maintaining its breathability. And the stretch construction will ensure full range of motion on all shots.

If you’re picking up an all-weather jacket, it might be wise to invest in a pair of waterproof golf shoes for those wet mornings on the course.
