Southern California is all about sunshine. But as the winter weather arrives, many people reach deep into their closets for a jacket that wards off early-morning and evening chills. If your wardrobe is outdated, or your outerwear is worn, consider one of this season’s new golf jackets. From designs aimed at younger players to performance and fit for all ages, top manufacturers have tailored their fall lines with comfort and style in mind. Adidas Golf ClimaProof Soft Shell Wind Jacket If you’re headed out of town and like to travel light, this jacket from Adidas Golf is your ticket. The ClimaProof Soft Shell Wind Jacket ($120) is lightweight, which is great for traveling, yet it has all the comforts you need during wetter months: it’s water-resistant and breathable, and the stretch fabric allows a full range of motion. The bold color, sporty stripe and three front pockets provide style and room for extra golf balls. The jacket is available in university red/black, black on black, ecru/black and clem-entine/navy. “Soft shell fabrications have been a significant innovation in outerwear the last few years, but have only recently come to golf,” said Tiss Dahan, director of global apparel.

The 1980s were good to the company, but with new designers branding a more youthful look, Izod is headed for the big time again with its new sportswear line. Every garment in the IzodG line has a technical spin, including the G-Protect Weatherman Jacket ($70). What makes this all-weather outerwear unique is its Teflon coating that repels water and stains. It’s also wind-resistant, breathable and quiet. Polyester with nylon/spandex side panels under the arms and shoulders allow for stretch when swinging a golf club or doing physical movements. That means no “swish” when you swing. The lightweight jacket is available in bold hues, including hot tamale, storm and pine. For more details, visit www.izodg.com. Cutter & Buck WeatherTec Chinook Jacket It’s the small things, like an inside pocket for cell phones, that make great jackets more appealing. Add adjustable cuffs and an elastic waistband to the mix, and the WeatherTec Chinook Jacket ($84) is a great choice for golfers. The storm guard-coated microfiber shell resists wind and rain, while the cape design in front enhances breathability. “Our inspiration is our consumer,” said Julie Snow, vice president of design. “We have to understand the conditions they face to design a product to comfortably manage all their personal technology and golf accessories.” The jacket is available in regatta/black, college orange/dark navy, dark navy/stone, putting green/dark navy, college purple/black, cardinal red/black and black/bamboo.
