We take a look at some of the best golf hoodies out there right now.
Best Golf Hoodies
Golf’s fashion debate has been stirred up considerably by hoodies starting to make an appearance on the golf course.
Tyrrell Hatton for example won the 2020 BMW PGA Championship in a hoodie that made our list of the best golf tops too.
However, there is a balance that must be adhered to when it comes to golf hoodies and thankfully more and more brands are designing garments that not only look good and modern on the golf course, but can be used off it too. Many are also simple and finished in classic colours to make sure they are acceptable in all manner of golf clubs as well.
The game of golf is changing and to make sure you be a part of it, below we have taken a look at some of our favourite golf hoodies.
Additionally for more buying advice we also recommend taking a look at our guides on the best golf jumpers or best golf waterproofs.
Best Golf Hoodies
Adidas Cold.Rdy Hoodie
As Seen On Tour
+ Well thought-out design
+ Looks great
– No waist pockets
Sizes: XS-2XL
Colours: 3
The model worn out on Tour by adidas professionals Tyrrell Hatton and Collin Morikawa, the Cold-Rdy Hoodie from adidas is one of the best models out right now and is a clear example of what innovative and refreshing golf apparel can be.
We think the best golf hoodies have their own style and this model is a case in point. It is a smart, comfortable and soft garment with Cold.Rdy technology which insulates and manages moisture to make sure you are prepared to play.
It features a jersey-lined hood with a drawcord along with a slight droptail hem for a modern finish.
Under Armour Storm SweaterFleece Hoodie
Best For Value
+ Good value given how often it can be used
+ Water repellent
– Quite a high collar
Sizes: XS-2XL
Colours: 2
The Under Armour Storm SweaterFleece Hoodie is a good example of making hoodies understated and therefore perfect for what could be the strictest of dress codes. It offers a stylish and casual aesthetic without limiting the technical specifications which often differentiates Under Armour from every other brand.
Constructed with Under Armour Storm tech, the hoodie is water repellent and retains excellent levels of breathability. The soft brushed fleece interior adds to the comfort.
We also think it works perfectly as a midlayer, and an outer layer so it is incredibly versatile.
Puma Runway Hoodie
Wear on or off the golf course
+ Soft feel
+ Fits nicely
– Shiny fabric won’t be for everyone
Sizes: XS-2XL
Colours: 3
We love this brand new mid layer style which takes on a more lifestyle inspired silhouette. We recently used this in a range session and despite being slightly chilly, the warmCELL technology, and soft fabric kept us warm so we could focus on my practice. The raglan sleeves and hemline give a comfortable fit and another thing I noticed was the size of the pockets which are excellent.
Nike Therma Golf Hoodie
Best lightweight option
+ Good warmth on offer
+ Very lightweight
– No drawcord
Sizes: XS-2XL
Colours: 3
When the weather turns cold you need to stay warm because if not, golf can be a trying experience.
Well this hoodie from Nike addresses that issue with a soft and plush Therma fabric which helps keep the core of your body warm by trapping heat. Additionally the ribbed cuffs and hem keep the elements firmly on the outside too.
Not only that but it has been specifically designed for golf in that it will not interfere with the swing in anyway, despite having a stretchy feel.
Also if you are a big fan of Nike, be sure to check out our guides on the best Nike golf shoes, and best Nike golf shirts as well.
G/FORE Tech Pullover Hoodie
Unique looks
+ Unique look
+ Useful pockets
– Only one colour to choose from
Sizes: S-2XL
Colours: 1
This Tech Pullover design from G/FORE has a unique look with the Skull & T’s logo and black and white colour-way.
You don’t have to worry about performance either because it makes excellent use of a fleece lined fabrication which keeps you warm, whilst the soft feel is very nice indeed. Also two more things we really like here – the versatility in that it can be used on and off the course, and the two convenient zipped pockets.
Original Penguin Fleece Popover Hoodie
Most colour options
+ Will suit outfits on or off the course
+ Lots of colours to choose from
– Hoodie section can feel quite large
Sizes: XS-2XL
Colours: 6
The Fleece Popover Hoodie is brand new this season from Original Penguin. Perfect for range days or relaxing in off the golf course, this hoodie has a soft brushed interior, drawstring hood and a handy front kangaroo pocket.
FootJoy Lightweight Hoodie
Cleanest hoodie design
+ Wear it all day
+ Simple design
– Hard to get hold of
Sizes: XS-2XL
Colours: 3
One of our favourite looking hoodies is the Lightweight model from FootJoy. The three colours look fantastic and it is a premium design thanks to double stitched seams, and the antimicrobial finish helps to eliminate odour.
The pockets are also useful but the star of the show here is the comfort. Made from 100% polyester it is so soft that at no point do you want to take it off.
J. Lindeberg Stretch Fleece Hoodie
Ideal for autumnal conditions
+ Snug warmth
+ Can be used anywhere
– Bit thick for warm days
Sizes: XS-2XL
Colours: 2
Keep things simple with this Stretch Fleece design from J. Lindeberg. It has a soft, brushed interior which is ideal for warmth and comfort whilst the little details here – the kangaroo style pocket, drawstring hood and JL logo – really add to the overall quality of the garment.
TravisMathew Wanderlust Hoodie
Best for stretchy fabric
+ As good on and off the golf course
+ Stretches well
– Softer feeling hoodies out there
Sizes: XS-2XL
Colours: 2
Made from 90% polyester and 10% spandex, the Wanderlust Hoodie is designed to offer maximum comfort and added warmth.
The fabric is quick-drying, wrinkle resistant and offers a 4-way stretch that is great for the golf swing. The understates design and two colourways make it ideal to transition seamlessly from the course to the concrete.
Greyson Koko Hoodie
Best premium hoodie
+ Cashmere gives premium feel
+ Good colour choice
– For some the price may be hard to justify
Sizes: XS-2XL
Colours: 6
Greyson is a growing name in the world of premium golf apparel and with models like the Koko it isn’t hard to see why. It has a minimalist design that has a premium blend of wool and cashmere to give a casual, soft and comfortable feel. We also like the ribbed sleeves and lightness of the garment too.
The left cuff has contrast tipping which is a signature design feature of Greyson products.
Castore Garcia Hoodie
Best in all weather conditions
+ Elemental protection
+ Flexible
– Branding on the front a bit unnecessary
Sizes: XS-2XL
Colours: 2
A relatively new brand making waves in the golfing world is Castore, a company that also outfits the McLaren Formula One team.
One of the best pieces in the 2021 range is this Garcia hoodie. It has been made using a unique fabric which is both wind and water resistant – while retaining that soft stretch jersey handle with a high degree of flexibility.
A lightly brushed interior feels great to wear, while signature Castore branding is featured on the front.
G/Fore Hooded Luxe Mid Hoodie
Softest hoodie
+ Incredibly soft
+ Subtle branding on the back shoulder
– Currently only available in one colour
Sizes: S-2XL
Colours: 1
G/Fore’s popular Luxe Mid-layer has now been given the hoodie treatment in this smart and clean golf offering.
The 2-ply self-hood provides added warmth and comfort out on the course and uses the same soft-touch fabric as the rest of the garment.
This hoodie is also moisture-wicking thanks to G/Fore’s Dri-Release fabric that makes this a great hoodie to be wearing if you get caught in a quick shower on course.
With an RRP of £135 it’s on the more expensive side, but you can feel the quality of material and fit make this well worth that price tag.
Galvin Green Duane Hoodie
Most breathable hoodie
+ Breathable but with thermal insulation too
+ Nice branding on the front
– Only one colour available currently
Sizes: S-2XL
Colours: 1
If you’re after a properly warm golf hoodie, look no further than this Galvin Green Duane model.
It’s soft and stretchy and offers exceptional warmth in cold conditions thanks to Galvin Green’s Insula Fabric.
While it stands out for it’s warmth, this is also a very breathable garment and the built-in air chambers store body warmth to keep your body temperature regulated throghout a round.
We love the logo styling on the front and all together this presents a stylish and practical hoodie out on course.
Adidas PrimeBlue Cold.Rdy 1/4 Zip Hoodie
Ideal for the environmentally conscious golfer
+ Sharp, modern design
+ Adjustable hood
– Fits slightly tight
Sizes: XS-2XL
Colours: 3 (Navy/White, White/Aqua & Black)
Golf hoodies from adidas have been incredibly popular since the like of Tyrell Hatton and Collin Morikawa have been regularly wearing them on Tour.
This hoodie uses adidas’s PrimeBlue fabric which is made from 50% parley ocean waste as part of the company’s aim to reach carbon net neutrality.
It’s made of a stretchy French terry blend with Cold.Rdy for warmth in cold conditions.
The half-zip design has a drawcord-adjustable hood for extra protection and a smart graphic overlay runs from the chest to the upper back to bring a modern look to your links style – for us it’s one of the most stylish hoodies in our list.
It’s available in the smart navy colourway above, a neutral black or – for the bolder amongst us – a white and blue aqua colour.
Under Armour Storm Daytona Full Zip Hoodie
Ideal for golfers who want wind protection
+ Breathable
+ Water repellent
– Full zip makes it more of a jacket than a hoodie
Sizes: S-2XL
Colours: 3 (Navy, White & Black)
The Under Armour Storm Daytona Full Zip hoodie is a comfortable, stylish and practical garment for use on and off the course.
It’s been designed with a comfortable fit, while being breathable and water repellent at the same time.
The double knit Storm Fleece fabric means it’s excellent for keeping you warm in windy conditions and the open hand pockets are a nice warm place to keep your hands during a round of golf.
Available in three stylish colours, this is a hoodie that will go nicely with pretty much any other outfit.
Lyle & Scott OTH Fleece Hoodie
Ideal for golfers going for a casual look
+ Warm, fleece material
+ Water repellent
– Perhaps too casual for the golf course
Sizes: S-2XL
Colours: 2 (Navy & Olive Green)
This is certainly one of the more casual hoodies in the list, but that’s not to say it won’t be great for the golf course.
The stretchy fabric means the golf swing is uninterrupted and the drawstring hood is adjustable to achieve an exact fit.
The kangaroo pocket on the front adds to the casual look, and we think this is a great hoodie for trips to the driving range or anywhere off the course too.
Sounder Star Hoodie
Ideal for the sustainable golfer
+ Raglan sleeve cut for plenty of freedom in the swing
+ Three button fastener is quirky
– Only one colour option
Sizes: S-2XL
Colours: 1 (Navy)
The Sounder Star Hoodie is made from soft, durable, 100% organic cotton and is cut with raglan sleeves to allow for full freedom in the golf swing.
Sounder sources high-quality materials, uses organic cotton wherever possible, and all its products are manufactured by suppliers who we know pay their staff a fair wage and provide good, safe conditions.
Its clothes – including this hoodie – are made to last, and we know that they will see you through many rounds and as many washes over many years.
