Golfing in the heat isn’t easy—but dressing for it can be. When the morning breeze cools your first tee shot and the sun starts heating up by the back nine, a lightweight quarter-zip can be the difference between staying comfortable or sweating through your game.
USA Palm’s Silky Soft and Heathered Quarter-Zips were built exactly for this. They give you just enough coverage to start the day off right—but they’re light, breathable, and cool enough to keep wearing once the temperature climbs.
Why Quarter-Zips Still Make Sense in the Heat
If you think quarter-zips are only for chilly days, think again. Early tee times, coastal breezes, and clubhouse air conditioning all call for a little extra coverage. But layering in warm weather only works when your gear is light, breathable, and designed to move.
That’s where our Silky Soft and Heathered fabrics shine. They give you the polish of a pullover, without the bulk. And because they’re moisture-wicking and quick-drying, they actually help keep you cooler—even in the heat.
You’ll feel the difference the moment you put one on.
The Silky Soft Quarter-Zip: Lightweight and Luxuriously Smooth
Our Silky Soft Quarter-Zip is the perfect option when you want a barely-there feel with a touch of luxury. The fabric has a smooth, cool finish that’s ideal for hot days. It stretches in every direction and won’t stick to your skin, even when the sun is at full strength.
Golfers love it because it’s breathable, it moves with your swing, and it looks just as good at lunch as it does on the course. It’s one of our most comfortable layers, and it’s made to be worn on repeat.
The Heathered Quarter-Zip: Subtle Texture, Serious Breathability
If you prefer a bit of texture, the Heathered Quarter-Zip is your go-to. It’s still lightweight and moisture-wicking, but it adds a more refined, classic look with a soft heathered finish.
This one’s ideal for guys who want a bit more structure without giving up stretch or cooling power. It pairs perfectly with shorts, chinos, or joggers and handles both morning rounds and cooler summer nights with ease.
When to Wear Them—and Why You’ll Keep Reaching for Them
Both the Silky Soft and Heathered Quarter-Zips are perfect for early morning golf, breezy coastal rounds, or courses with aggressive A/C in the clubhouse. But you’ll end up wearing them off the course, too.
Throw one over your polo before heading to lunch, wear it on a travel day when you want comfort without sloppiness, or keep one in your bag just in case the wind picks up. These aren’t heavy layers—they’re easy, versatile go-to pieces that work wherever the day takes you.
