Golf gilets, otherwise known as bodywarmers or padded vests, are the perfect option for layering up for those cooler days on the course and are often coupled with a mid layer or polo shirt.

Golf gilets
A golf gilet is the perfect choice for layering up when the temperature drops, allowing you to add an extra layer to regulate your body heat without restricting your movement due to the sleeveless design. Our great selection of gilets are designed to be lightweight yet breathable so you can keep warm without feeling uncomfortable, allowing you to comfortably wear it all day long. Whether you’re looking for a premium brand such as Hugo Boss and Ralph Lauren, or a more budget-friendly option from brands such as Greg Norman or Benross, we have you covered.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a gilet the same as a bodywarmer?
There is actually no difference between a gilet or a bodywarmer. They are the exact same thing but just named differently. Occasionally, you may find that bodywarmer is used to describe a vest that is fleeced or a softshell material, whilst a gilet is used to describe insulated pieces. At American Golf, we stick to ‘gilets’ or ‘vests’ to describe all of our sleeveless jackets.
Why should I wear a gilet when playing golf?
Gilets are perfect for keeping your torso warm whilst allowing your arms to remain free so that your swing unhindered. Whilst most golfers style their gilet over a polo shirt or mid layer, you can also wear them beneath a jacket to keep your body warm.
