Getaway Gear For a fall golf trip, pack versatile styles that go from course to clubhouse and layering pieces that stand up to the elements. By Suzanne S. Brown ROUGH AND READY Built to battle chilly temperatures and wind, the COLD.RDY Hoodie from adidas looks as sharp on your fall rounds as it will around town. It’s part of the company’s multi-sport READY line which makes use of materials to combat the heat, wind, rain and cold that get in the way of enjoying your athletic pursuits. Adidas-sponsored PGA touring pro Xander Schauffele wears the design, which comes in five colors and is made of recycled polyester and fleece that’s insulating, wind-resistant and water-repellent.

STAND-OUT STYLE Guys who are into luxurious fashion-forward athletic wear for the links and beyond gravitate to brands like Greyson Clothiers. The company outfits such touring pros as Erik van Rooyen in styles like the bold printed Snake Garden polo, $110, and Montauk joggers, $145, a pants style which causes heads to turn on the golf course. (If you try this trend, be sure to wear no-show socks). When temperatures drop, the Greyson guy will reach for one of the company’s sleek sweaters or the Koko hoodie in a stretchy blend of cashmere and merino wool, which comes in a range of colors, $285. greysonclothiers.com

COOL IN CAMO Camouflage is one of those patterns that has been in style so long it’s become a classic, in part because it can be made in a lot of colors and size variations. Brands like Peter Millar are offering camo patterns in a reversible merino wool crewneck sweater, $268, that can be layered over a polo or dress shirt, and under layering pieces such as a vest or outerwear jacket. It’s shown here with the Fuse Hybrid Vest, $148, in a performance fabric that is wind-resistant and offers four-way stretch for mobility, and a two-way zip front closure and zip pocket on the chest. The five-pocket Performance pants are in a lightweight, quick-drying stretch fabric, shown here in gale gray, $149. Clothes and accessories at petermillar.com COLORADO AVIDGOLFER | Fall 2020
