Winter golf in Yorkshire rarely gives you one kind of weather. You can tee off in a cold, still morning, get caught in a shower on the back nine and finish in a biting wind. Under Armour’s answer is what it calls Total Condition Layering: three types of layer, one for rain, one for chill and one for cold, that you add or take off as the round changes.
Here’s what’s in the Under Armour winter range we have in store and online, what each piece does, and how to put an outfit together.
| Layer | What it’s for | Key pieces | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rain | Keeping water out | Drive Pro Rain Jacket, Drive Rain Pant, Drive Rain Cap | £32.99 |
| Chill | Warmth without bulk on cool, damp days | Drive Midlayer, Drive 1/4 Zip Midlayer, Drive Midlayer Hoodie, Drive Funnel Neck | £54.99 |
| Cold | Holding in body heat when it’s properly cold | Drive Pro Insulated Jacket, ColdGear Infrared Tapered Trousers, ColdGear base layers, Storm ColdGear Infrared Beanie | £26.99 |
The rain layer is the one that does the heavy lifting in a British winter. Both the jacket and the trousers are 100% waterproof, made from a breathable, stretchy 2.5-layer bonded fabric with fully taped seams. UA Storm technology repels water without sacrificing breathability, so you don’t end up damp from the inside.
All of the Drive rain pieces use a fluorine-free water repellent treatment.
For most winter rounds, a good midlayer is the piece you’ll wear the most. Under Armour’s Drive midlayers use a soft, stretchy double-knit spacer fabric that traps warmth without adding weight, so you can still make a full turn. Most of them also have a UA Storm water-repellent finish to shrug off drizzle.
When the temperature really drops, Under Armour’s ColdGear Infrared lining comes in. It uses a soft, thermo-conductive inner coating to absorb and retain your body heat, so you stay warm without piling on layers.
Cold, wet feet will ruin a winter round faster than anything. Two options from Under Armour:
