Requesting tips for cold weather golf - Page 2

As long as there is no snow on the ground, I'll play all winter in the Philly area. Under Armour is a miracle fabric that keeps me pretty warm, usually a mock turtleneck under a cotton or wool sweater vest. I'll wear a fleece over that, but I usually end up taking that off during the round unless the wind is blowing, but I might not play anyway if the wind is blowing. I'll wear my Philadelphia Eagles ski cap, winter golf gloves and wide wale corduroy slacks and I'm ready to go. And, of course, I walk. Riding in a cart is crazy in cold weather. You will never warm up.

I take you haven't seen guys in carts with covers and propane heaters.  I've played with them at times when they are too warm and I have to walk a bit to cool off

This item is holding you back from a lower HC. So it looks like Reid is OUTA HERE! Being a Big Blue fan, I wish he would stay, him and Dog Boy. If you guys get Chucky, that will mean trouble for the rest of the NFC E.

Back on topic, as colin said, Under Armour is not the only option nor is it the best, and it is way overpriced. The important point is that your base layer must be polypropylene, as it will still insulate if it gets wet (from rain or sweat) and wicks better than anything else. I know this well from my backpacking days.

Keep in mind though that polypropylene will absorb odors, and once it gets stinky, it never seems to go away.  I found that out from MY backpacking/kayaking days.  Just another consideration.

I guess it can get a little funky in the armpit areas, but mine washes out pretty well.

Where did you use to pack and yak?

Mostly Colorado, but some in Wyoming, Montana and Idaho.
