It’s Getting Cold, Time for Some Bermuda Sands Golf Apparel Fall Gear

It’s that time of year again (at least, in the Midwest and East Coast) where the sun rises a little later and sets a little earlier. It’s that time of year where the leaves on trees begin turning a beautiful gold or red. And it’s that time of year when golfers begin wearing a little more clothing on the golf course.

Enter Bermuda Sands golf apparel and their recently released fall apparel.

The Long and Short

The shirts are made with a thicker, high-quality fabric, providing a little more warmth, but it’s really all about the collar and fit for me. The quarter-zip pull-over is the real deal. Lined with fleece, they’re soft, warm, and perfect for Fall mornings.

The Woodland Golf Polo

Admittedly, I can be a bit finicky when it comes to my golf attire. Especially when it comes to my golf shirts. I used to be one of those “all golf polos are the same” type of guys. Until I was introduced to how a high-quality shirt fits, feels, and, yes, even performs. If you’re still a “grab a $10 golf shirt from Kohl’s” type of guy, you’re really missing out.

And, yeah, a high-quality golf polo like the ones Bermuda Sands offers can be a bit more expensive. But, A. You get what you pay for, and B. These shirts will last much longer and provide far more comfort than anything you find at a discount chain.

As I mentioned in the quick overview, the Woodland is a more seasonal shirt than a “normal” golf shirt. The shirts I wear during the summer when I’m playing in the Midwest humidity are much thinner, light-weight, and include that fancy wicking “technology”. But those same shirts don’t do me much good when the temperature drops. Now, I can move to a shirt that’s meant to be worn in cooler temps. This Bermuda shirt is great because it’s a bit thicker material but still breathes. It’s warm but doesn’t necessarily cook me.

The other piece of this shirt that really makes a huge difference is the collar. To me, this is one of the huge differences between a “cheap” polo and a high-quality golf polo. A curled collar on a polo will drive me crazy. It just looks sloppy. And while it’s not a fashion show out on the golf course, there’s nothing wrong with at least looking the part.

The collars on these Bermuda Sands shirts are perfect. They always lay flat like they’re supposed to and don’t lose their shape after multiple cycles through the washer and dryer. Which reminds me. As nice as these shirts are, you don’t have to give them the kid-gloves treatment. No hanging to dry or washing separately. Just wear it, wash it, dry it, and repeat.

The Noda Long-Sleeve Quarter-Zip

I’ve had a go-to quarter-zip in my closet for about three years now. I love it. It fits great, it looks great. But it’s always had one downfall, it didn’t always keep me warm enough. I would have to compensate with a warm-weather Under Armour long-sleeve. Which is perfectly fine and does the job. Until the sun starts to push the temperature up later in the morning. Then even after I shed my quarter-zip, the Under Armour keeps doing the job and I’m still too warm.

What the Noda allows me to do is no longer have to wear an additional layer. I can go golf polo and Noda quarter-zip and be nice and warm early in the round. Then as the mercury in the thermometer goes up, I can shed a layer and still be comfortable on the back nine.

The pullover has an amazingly soft fleece lining that keeps you warm and a rain resistant exterior to keep you dry.

Needless to say, my old reliable cold weather gear is getting replaced as we continue into the Fall.

Verdict

Bermuda Sands knows what they’re doing. Their Fall line checks all the boxes for me. Comfortable, durable, good-looking, and fit-for-purpose.

Update: It also acts as a shield from burrs when looking for your buddy’s golf ball.

I’m a good friend.
