Do You Wear Cotton?

[wadesworld]

Nope. The cotton era has gone bye-bye in my golf apparel. Far too many good performance fabrics available that are cooler and don't retain moisture.

I might consider it in the winter, but I think I've gotten rid of all my cotton polos, so I just wear multiple layers.

Cotton shorts on the course in the summer = swamp ass that would put Lucas Glover to shame.

It's been so hot and humid here that it doesn't matter what you are wearing. I was a pair of lightweight, breathable shorts the other day and it looked like I jumped into the pool wearing them.

 

[mainefootwedge]

No
Performance blend shirts and shorts for moisture wicking and help cooling

 

[jazi95]

Nope!

 

[Sox_Fan]

Absolutely not.

Paging @Sox_Fan

I have gotten past that and now wear a lot more gross polyester than cotton. Plus, 95% of my cotton stuff is too big for me now since I am older and shriveling up to nothing.

 

[Browndog]

No. I don’t wear cotton anymore.

 

[tdinbr]

I live in south Louisiana, so not a chance.

I wear a cotton undershirt but need the rest of my apparel to breathe a bit more so no.

Genuine question. If you are wearing a cotton undershirt, that doesnt wick at all, it wouldnt really matter, right?

 

[DaBuckBoys]

No definitely not. Need my gear to breathe.

Cotton breathes well. It does not wick moisture. It absorbs.

No definitely not. Need my gear to breathe.

I have 1 cotton golf shirt that I wear on cooler days (like 65 or lower).
I wear it b/c it's a xmas gift and a MANU shirt that my sister in law got me while in England last fall.
Otherwise, I'm wearing only to work occasionally.

 

[mtbloco]

I try to avoid pure cotton on the golf course.

 

[Dartgod]

Shorts maybe, if it's cooler weather. 70's or below. And not humid.

 

[AndyL0711]

Only those performance polos for me. Cotton shorts are only for working out or sleeping in

 

[CBaker]

While playing? Absolutely not.

It does because I wear a tank style undershirt so arms, shoulders, upper back and chest it's still important.

 

[djt311]

No cotton on the course for me.

 

[sunshine]

Yes
I sweat through anything, so I’d rather wear cotton
Cotton shorts. Cotton shirts. I like the pima cotton offerings from Peter millar, original penguin

 

[AuzzieMatt]

Not at all.

 

[russtopher]

I haven't in years. So many other better materials to wear out there, especially when it's hot & humid.

 

[YukonLiving]

Nope. All apparel worn on the course is some type of synthetic designed for athletic performance of some type.

 

[BuffaloPlunger]

Absolutely not. I would be a sweaty mess and I do not have the discipline to not shrink it in the laundry

 

[Z1319]

on occasion

 

[DataDude]

Generally not in the heat of summer but I wear a lot of cotton during the winter. Polyester fleece kind of sucks IMO. I do have a few pairs of cotton drawstring shorts I wear also. I personally think the pendulum swung too far away from cotton. It’s a great fabric as long as humidity is not a huge factor.
