Spring golf: the perfect layering guide for men and women

Spring is probably the most exciting, but also the most treacherous season for golfers. While you can still hear the frost crunching on the grass on your first tee shot, the warm midday sun can already be smiling down on you on the 18th green. If you choose the wrong clothing here, you will either freeze or sweat unnecessarily - both of which are poison for your handicap.

The solution? The onion principle, also known as layering. In this guide, we show you how to get through the transition period perfectly with the latest highlights from top brands such as adidas, Galvin Green and Peak Performance.

Here you will find the complete layering range for men and women at ALL4GOLF.

The 3-layer system: functionality meets freedom of swing

Layering is not just about putting anything on top of anything else. Each layer has a specific task to keep your body temperature constant without restricting your golf swing.

1. The base layer: Goodbye moisture

The first layer lies directly on the skin. Its job is to transport perspiration to the outside so that you don't cool down.

• For men: when it's still really crisp in the morning, the Galvin Green Edwin base layer is unbeatable. Thanks to SKINTIGHT Thermal technology, it keeps you warm but is so airy that you never feel constricted.
• For the ladies: If you're looking for protection from cool winds and UV protection at the same time, check out the Callaway Layer Scarf Geo or Deco Geo. The cooling jersey material will keep you feeling fresh as soon as the sun comes out.

2. The insulation (Mid Layer): Your personal heater

This layer stores body heat and transports moisture to the outside. Flexibility is required here.

• Sporty & technical: The Peak Performance Swift Motion for men uses a grid structure in the fleece that dries extremely quickly. For women, the Daily Sports Cholet offers a particularly cozy feel with its soft brushed inside.
• The new trend - hoodies: Long frowned upon, today it's hard to imagine the Fairway without them. The Puma Masters Hoodie (men) brings that Augusta feeling and maximum freedom of movement to your game thanks to 4-way stretch. The Under Armour Drive Hoodie also offers warmth without being bulky.

3. The protection (Outer Shell): Wind and weatherproof

The outer layer protects you from the elements. It must be windproof and ideally water-repellent.

• Lightweight wind protection: The adidas Layer Beyond Twistweave for men is a real lightweight. It can be stowed away in a small bag and offers protection when a fresh breeze sweeps across the pitch.
• Professional rain protection: Should the typical April showers set in, the Galvin Green Alan rain trousers for men are the first choice. Thanks to PERTEX Shield Stretch, they are 100% waterproof, but remain elastic enough to keep your swing flowing.

The secret weapon: the vest

When a sweater is too much and a polo too little, the time has come for the vest. It keeps the torso warm - where the vital organs are located - and leaves the arms completely free.

• For women: The Peak Performance Helium Down vest is a legend. It is ultra-light, windproof and can be compressed so small that it fits in any side pocket of your golf bag. If you like it even lighter, go for the Röhnisch Ultralight vest.
• For men: The Ping Burford vest uses SensorWarm technology to keep you dry and warm in wind and light rain, while the Callaway High Gauge vest impresses with its special shoulder construction ("Swing Tech").

Well equipped for the first Birdie

A well thought-out layering system is half the battle for a successful spring round. When buying, pay particular attention to stretch materials and breathability. Many manufacturers such as adidas or Daily Sports are also increasingly focusing on recycled materials - so you are not only protecting yourself from the weather, but also doing something good for nature, where we enjoy our sport so much.
