Fall golf is just around the corner and the importance of a good layering piece cannot be overstated. In a world filled with technical textiles promising moisture-wicking, breathability, mobility and more, it can be overwhelming to narrow down the right option. That’s where we come in to help.

First, it has to be warm without extra bulk that might make it difficult to swing. Functionality is also key — things like weather resistance, pockets and UV protection are crucial in a good outerwear style. Finally, it has to (of course) be stylish. Confidence can make or break your game, and dressing the part has never hurt anyone. Here are our favorite half-zips, hoodies, sweaters and jackets to wear in the coming months.
