The Best Golf Vests for Women of 2023

What’s the best season for golf? Sure, golf popularity peaks in the summer, but most players prefer to play during the more mild spring or fall than the brutal summer. 

If you like to keep your game going all four seasons, or at least three of them, then a golf vest is a must-have for those spring and fall days on the course. The problem is, not every vest is great for golf. These are the six best golf vests for women of 2023.

When you have a morning tee time in the spring or fall, you can’t simply dress for the forecasted high temperature. It’s common to tee off in temps in the 40s, and tap in that final putt with temps in the 60s. That’s why a vest is such a friendly layer to use during much of golf season, and why the Puma Women’s CLOUDSPUN Golf Vest tops our list.

This vest is sharp, but neutral, meaning it can be your go-to golf vest all year long and pair with almost any outfit. It provides a warm top layer without being too bulky, so it won’t interfere with your swing. Once the sun comes out and those temps rise, it’s light enough to go right into your golf bag or stash it in your cart for the rest of your round.

The one thing no other vest on this list has is a hood, but the adidas Women’s COLD.RDY Full Zip Golf Vest takes care of that. Made from 100% recycled polyester, this vest prioritizes warmth with the added head gear and COLD.RDY insulating technology, but doesn’t lack any style, with the ribbed one-color style.

More Layers Means More Golf

Spring and fall offer some excellent opportunities to play golf. With mild weather, less crowded courses, and budding flowers and fall foliage, it’s no surprise so many golfers prefer the so-called “shoulder season” over playing golf in the intense summer heat. Adding one or two go-to golf vests to your wardrobe helps make sure you’re prepared for every golf weather.
