The ifrothgolf review
A thin stretch pullover built as a mid layer for golf, made from a smooth polyester and elastane knit with a quarter-zip neck. It is designed to sit over a base layer or polo and add warmth without bulk, with moisture-wicking, anti-odour and UPF 30 sun protection thrown in.
What's great
It is genuinely light and the four-way stretch means you forget you are wearing it through the swing. The fabric wicks well and dries fast, so a warm-up sweat or light drizzle does not leave you clammy. It layers cleanly under a gilet or shell, the quarter zip lets you dump heat fast on the walk between holes, and the anti-pick, anti-pill finish keeps it looking tidy after repeated washes. At well under fifty pounds in the sales it is a lot of layer for the money.
Worth knowing
This is a thin layer, not a cold-weather one. On its own in a real wind or sub-single-digit temperatures you will want something over the top. The fit runs trim and athletic, so if you are between sizes or prefer room, size up. UPF 30 is solid but not the highest on the market, and the polyester knit can hold static and cling to a base layer. It is also a performance piece, not a smart sweater, so it looks the part on the course but less so at the bar afterwards.
The verdict
If you want a single do-everything thin mid layer for spring and autumn golf, this is an easy, well-priced pick. Just treat it as a layer in a system rather than your only defence against the cold.
