Three great base layer options for keeping warm this winter

Equipment
Three base layers

The temperatures have dropped this week.

That means, of course, that everyone has had to turn up the heating and throw on an extra jumper when we head outdoors.

There is a significant impact for golfers, too.

With a chilly wind blowing across the course we need to keep warm to remain supple and maintain a long, smooth swing.

The starting point in the old days was to bulk up but in recent times the base layer has freed us from this clunky option.

With a skintight fit they keep the warmth in and actually aid mobility rather than restrict it.

Here are three great options for all levels of golfer.

Basic level – Stromberg Alpha – BUY for £19.99

A fantastic entry level base layer that is constructed with stretch fabrics to ensure you can perform without restriction. It offers high levels of comfort because of moisture-wicking and UPF 50 properties that guarantee that you are ready to perform.

The top is finished off with reflective branding and is made from 97% Polyester and 3% Elastane. It’s white with black detailing.

Mid level – PUMA 2.0 UV – BUY for £24.99

This layer is black and highlighted with a grey PUMA Cat logo. It provides the very best close to the skin fit because the extreme flex ensures that it can fit tight against the body. This allows you to move without restriction and permits full movement for the swing.

It also features dryCELL technology which draws access moisture away from the skin for rapid drying. Plus it’s UV resistant to protect you and also crease-resistant.

Elite level – Under Armour CG Fitted Mock Stretch – BUY for £48.99

The tip top mostly because Under Armour were ahead of the curve when it come to creating base layers. This example has been specifically designed to play golf, offering warmth, and also comfort, without restricting your golf swing.

To assist in performance it has a four-way stretch fabrication to give full mobility in all directions. This layer is ultra-tight to be worn like a second skin, with a brushed inner lining for increased comfort. If you’ve never experienced this it can be intimidating but it’s oddly freeing.

The material has been designed to help minimize sweat thanks to its wicking material and strategically placed mesh for extra ventilation. This will help to keep you warm and comfortable while playing. It’s made from 87% Polyester and 13% Elastane. It’s available on black and white.
