Why you can trust Golf Monthly
Some golf hoodies are thick and bulky like the kind you’d sit around the house in, others are lighter and more golf performance based. The Sun Hoodie from FootJoy is most certainly the latter. This hoodie is extremely light and easy to pack away in your bag—and it’s a sportier, more athletic garment compared to the traditional hoodies that you might wear day to day.
Not everyone has jumped onto the golf hoodies bandwagon; there are those who still don’t think they have a place on the course. However, more and more golfers— particularly those under the age of 30—are wearing them out on the fairways. Golf, after all, is a sport. We digress…
The Sun Hoodie is very much a spring/summer—it’s not going to offer you a great deal of warmth in the winter. However, for those chilly mornings or cool early evenings on the fairways, this layer is a really convenient option.
The four-way stretch fabric ensures that you can swing a club without feeling at all restricted, and because it’s so light it provides just the right amount of warmth to keep you from feeling as though you need something heavier. No one really wants to be pulling on bulkier layers in the summer months.
This type of garment might not appeal to everyone, but the Sun Hoodie is sure to be a hit with hoodie fans. It’s a nice layer to warm up in on the range. Given its modern, sporty looks, it can definitely be worn off the course, too, so you’ll probably find yourself slipping it on before a gym session.
