The Best Golf Vests for Women
What’s the best season for golf? Sure, golf popularity peaks in the summer, but many 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. The best golf vests not only look great and come from reputable brands, but offer elements to keep you warm, dry, and allow you to swing freely. These are the six best golf vests for women.
Puma Women’s CLOUDSPUN Golf Vest
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.

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.
