Brrrr, this time of year can sure get chilly out on the golf course. But for winter diehards, wearing a good outer layer to keep warm can make the difference between a comfortable round and a frosty scorecard.
Here are some toasty winter golf apparel suggestions:
•
Sunice: Men's Alton Gore-Tex jacket has a two layer performance shell and comes with a lifetime waterproof guarantee. A rain channel system helps avoid water dropping on your wrists and hands, while the soft touch chin guard provides a comfortable feel. The drop tail design and adjustable waist system add important features to tailor the jacket for less than perfect weather conditions. The jacket is available in sizes S-XXXL, and comes in black on black, black plaid, arctic blue, teal, brown and poppy red.

Zero Restriction: Ladies Backspin jacket is water resistant, windproof and has a matte finish exterior surface with slick interior so it slides easily over other layers. The patented Motion-Tuned stretch fabric technology allows for an unhindered swing and includes expansion back pleats. Elastic at the sides and cuffs ensures cold air stays out, and the comfortable collar with full front zip and interior storm flap are added weather proofing features. The modern-styled Backspin jacket is available in sizes XS-XL, and comes in solid black, sky blue, purple and platinum.

Sun Mountain: Full-zip, quilted Alpine Vest for women has a slim cut and offers that little extra fashionable warmth when needed. A removable faux fur collar allows for more versatility, while the Teflon coating is water resistant. The tightly woven quilted polyester fabric makes it windproof, and the stand-up collar also protects against the elements. Storm flaps, elongated back, locking zipper pulls and taffeta-lined body are additional details that make this a winter golf wardrobe staple. The vest is available in sizes S-XL, and comes in white with faux black fur, brown with faux natural fur and black with black faux fur.

Straight Down: The Fairway half-zip fleece for men is a cozy solution to maintaining warmth and mobility. The ultra suede trimmed collar adds additional styling and comfort, while the ribbed cuffs and waistband fit snugly to ward off cold air. Made from 70 percent cotton, 20 percent polyester and 10 percent acrylic, the heathered yarns have a soft-brushed feel. The fleece is available in sizes X-XXL, and comes in light charcoal, earth brown, navy, stone and black.

Bobby Jones: Men's micro Bomber jacket is water resistant with sealed seams, mock neck with button closure and elastic hem. The 85 percent polyester and 15 percent polyurethane blend fabric has a classic drape, and the full zip makes it an ideal layering piece over sweaters and other second layers. Contrast piping on two of the three colors adds a nice detail. Deep set side pockets are roomy enough to keep your hands warm and protected as well. The Bomber jacket is available in sizes S-XXL, and comes in black, golf blue and navy.

The Littlest Golfer: Offers the Putter's Tour windshirt for boys and the Sandy's Tour windshirt for girls. Both are made with a microfiber fabric that is wind and water resistant. Spandex at the collar, cuffs and hem make them fit comfortably and help retain the shape of the jacket. Youth sizes XS-L are available, and in navy blue or stone colors with a golfing turtle logo. The windshirts also come in infant sizes.
