The calendar will turn to October this week and in many parts of the country, that means the leaves are beginning to turn colors and the air gets cooler everyday.
That doesn't mean, however, that golf season is over. Fall usually provides us with some of the best golf weather every year, but before you hit the links, you'll want to make sure you're outfitted with the proper gear for those crispy afternoons. Layering is important, and we've already highlighted our favorite golf Q-zips and golf hoodies to add to your wardrobe. Now, we're taking a look at vests.
Having a good vest in your closet is an underrated luxury every golfer should enjoy. Here are our eight favorite options for fall 2026.
Peter Millar Parks Hybrid Vest
If you're seeking real warmth without the bulk of a full-blown
puffy jacket, the Parks Hybrid from Peter Millar is the one for you. The front is made from insulated quilted fabric, while the back is finished off with soft, stretchy micro-fleece that will keep you warm, comfortable and mobile during those fall rounds when the air is crisp.
