I love a good quarter-zip. It’s the perfect layer for those early-morning or late-evening rounds when there’s a bit of chill in the air or when you need something easily packable if the weather is unpredictable.
Another great thing about this versatile piece of clothing is that it comes in different weights. Whether you’re looking for lightweight performance or a mid-weight or heavier option to layer with a vest on colder days, the options are endless.
I’ve narrowed it down for you to seven quarter-zips that all come in at under $100 and feature performance and comfort benefits to make your next round more enjoyable.

A midweight layer perfect for cooler days, the Clubhouse Midweight Quarter-Zip is made with DRI-LOGIC moisture wicking technology which helps to keep you dry and comfortable while on the course. Designed with movement in mind, this top moves with your swing without restricting range of motion. Keep the heat in and the cool out with this great piece from Walter Hagen.
FootJoy Heather Yoke Half-Zip Mid-Layer
A versatile piece that allows players to adapt to changing weather conditions, the Heather Yoke Half-Zip is designed with movement in mind. Four-way stretch fabric prevents any restriction during your swing while the anti-microbial finish helps prevent odor build-up when you sweat.

Vice Golf Camo Quarter-Zip
This lightweight pullover from Vice Golf is the perfect option to cut a slight chill during those dew-sweeper or sun-chaser rounds. The structured collar stays in place to keep you looking sharp while elastic cuffs prevent the sleeves from getting in the way of your hands.
Avalon Golf Co. Tour Lite Quarter-Zip
A favorite of mine makes this list: the Tour Lite Quarter-Zip from Avalon Golf Co. This one has it all: comfort, performance and a tailored fit to keep you looking and playing your best. A four-way stretch, buttery-smooth fabric provides unrivaled comfort and UPF 50+ sun protection. A low-profile, blade style collar adds to the clean styling of this lightweight pullover.

The Go-To Printed Quarter Zip from adidas is an ideal blend of comfort and performance in transitional weather. It features a regular fit with a structured, stand-up collar and soft and stretchy fabric to meet every move you make with comfort. Too cool for a polo but too warm for a heavy sweater?

UA Storm SweaterFleece 1/4 Zip
When I need a warmer layer on cooler rounds or am playing on a gloomy day with a chance of rain, the UA Storm SweaterFleece 1/4 Zip is hard to beat. UA Storm technology repels water without sacrificing breathability while the fuller cut of this pullover provide plenty of room to move. The comfort and warmth of your favorite sweater plus the protection of a rain jacket makes this one of the most versatile mid layers on the market.

Just as an adder, just bought a quarter zipper, however, after extensive research, I decided to purchase from a higher end hunting company. The product is merino wool and rated to be used in temp.’s as low as 20 degrees. There are numerous companies in this space with either tech materials or merino, with products that rated for the different seasons. They obviously don’t have the multitude of colors as those companies that cater to the golf industry, but they do have solids and camo of course. The quality is impeccable and much better functional than most competing golf related products. Just something to consider if you’re willing to think out of the box.
