While summer golf isn’t often cold, it can be windy — especially if you’re playing near the coast. At this week’s Open Championship, contenders can expect to face a stiff breeze, gusting from 20-30 mph on average at Royal St. George’s. While many players may choose to brave the elements in shirtsleeves alone, a light layer of protection can be helpful.
From short or full-length sleeves to vests, the five items below share one important thing in common: lightweight, easily packable protection from the wind. Take a scroll through our favorites, and while you’re shopping, make sure to check out the rest of the items on offer in GOLF’s Pro Shop — your ultimate source for the latest apparel, shoes, training aids and more, all in one convenient place.
