I’ve been hunting for a new perfect lightweight golf hoodie for a while now. Not just one that looks good on the course or feels nice in hand, but one I actually want to reach for every time I head to the range, run errands, or settle in at my desk for a day of work. With plenty of solid options out there, I still haven’t found one that checked all of my boxes, reasonable or not.
That finally changed when I got my hands on the new TRUE linkswear Vacay hoodie.
Finally, the Hoodie I’ve Been Waiting For!
I’ve come to trust TRUE linkswear for making consistently great golf gear and apparel. From shoes to polos to outerwear, they always seem to get the fit, function, and quality just right. But as much as I’ve loved their lineup, they hadn’t made a true lightweight hoodie up to this point. You know, something perfect for those crisp days where you need just a little extra coverage? Or those days where it’s a little brisk in the morning, but warms up to a more comfortable temperature later in the day? That kind of hoodie.
I’d been hearing whispers that TRUE linkswear had something in the works in this category over the last few months. Just a hoodie, right? Nothing major. Though just a simple article of clothing, my eagerness and anticipation were unreasonably out of control. Then it happened. TRUE linkswear dropped the hoodie I’d been waiting for. It would be called the TRUE Vacay hoodie and it’s perfect. I immediately ordered it in Storm Blue, Olive, and Deep Sea, and naturally already want more for my wardrobe. No, I NEED more.
What Makes It a Great Lightweight Golf Hoodie?
The Vacay hoodie checks every box I’ve been looking for in a lightweight golf hoodie, and it starts with the materials. TRUE uses a blend of 45% Repreve polyester, 45% Tencel, and 10% spandex, which results in a soft, breathable, and flexible fabric that feels great from the first wear. (If you’re unfamiliar, Repreve is a performance fiber made from recycled materials, adding a nice sustainable touch without sacrificing feel or function.)
It’s loaded with smart performance features too such as UPF 50+ sun protection, moisture wicking, anti-wrinkle, and anti-odor properties. So whether you’re grinding through a humid range session or running around with the family all weekend, it stays comfortable and fresh. Even after multiple wears and washes, it holds its shape and stays looking sharp.
The fit is modern and clean. Athletic enough for golf but casual enough for daily wear. It layers easily, moves well during the swing, and doesn’t scream “technical apparel,” which I really appreciate. It’s just a dialed-in hoodie that gets everything right and has quickly become my favorite layer in the closet.
Final Thoughts – TRUE linkswear Vacay Hoodie
I’ve worn the TRUE linkswear Vacay Hoodie on the course, around the house, walking the dog, and everywhere else you can imagine. It just works. It feels like one of those pieces I’ll end up living in without even realizing it. And yes, if you’re wondering, it plays nicely with the rest of the TRUE linkswear lineup. Whether I’m wearing it with a pair of TRUE linkswear golf pants or a pair of shorts, it looks right and feels even better.
I’m so pumped to finally have this TRUE linkswear hoodie, and thank god for the anti-odor properties because I’m going to wear these things CONSTANTLY. Needless to say, I’ll be ordering more in the very near future.
