Underarmour Polo Vests

Just thought i'd share that for golfing in the current cold weather I find these to be invaluable, they are light but very effective in keeping body heat in without restricting the swing.

The only thing I would say is get a size bigger than you would normally wear ie; if you are a large go for XL (at least) as they are sort of body hugging and if too small you could feel like you are wrapped up in a giant condom!! Oh they retail for about 50 Euro but last forever.

Like them as well. Got a couple in McGuirks around Christmas, 2 for E40 I think. Would like to get a couple of short sleeve versions but dont seem to see them around.

We had a discussion on them recently here...

I have a couple of Helly Hansen base layers but I think the underarmour mock polo is better for the 'real' cold weather... In fairness, the HH are just crew neck and I'll still use them under a golf shirt later in the season but for now the underarmour is spot on.

I have one from Canterbury and one from North Face. They certainly do their job effectively.

I think the point is that they're supposed to be a 'second skin' and therefore 'body-hugging'. This contributes to the way they warm the body. Going up a size might reduce their effectiveness.
