The Vest: Yay or Nay?
I am a proud member of vest nation. In the Northeast in order to extend your golf playing into the colder months you need to layer up. But you also need to have some freedom of movement. I just added the battery powered heated vest to the wardrobe. Its been a great investment, it helps also with any soreness you may get in the back as it keeps the area warm.

I wear a vest almost all the time. I have a couple photographer's vests with about 20 pockets on them that I wear quite often.
Hiking, golfing, fishing, shopping, and anything else I want.
Vests are a year around clothing accessory for me.

Still strongly in the vest camp!!!
I have a windproof mizuno vest that is a savior during the 'okay' weather months here.
Recently got a Puma Quilted Primaloft vest. I like it. It doesn't get super cold out here to often but it's nice having the warmth and freedom of movement.
I wear a vest for layering. I like to wear one over a long sleeve cold gear mock turtleneck.

I don't really have a need for a vest with the temps I play in. It would be maybe two months a year. But I totally would rock one. I wear a vest all the time in the snow. I might need to investigate for the winter months.
Loooovvvvvve my vests. Probably my most go to apparel option.
Vests are the warm hugs of the clothing world. They work great as a standalone fashion statement or as an underlying layering technique when you want to leave your arms free to swing like a 70's pornstar. As a bonus, a vest can be used in those more intimate moments as a snazzy dress up to an otherwise dreary undergarment choice. In all, the vest is one of the most versatile of the clothing options presented to today's modern golfing male.

Stand alone? I'd be afraid to get arrested!
Golf is what got me into wearing vests actually. SoCal fall and winter weather is perfect for wearing a vest. A full jacket can get warm pretty quick when you hit as many shots as I do. 
I can still wear short sleeves but keep my core warm with a nice fleece vest.

Definitely pro-vest. Cloudspun vests are fantastic!

true, although I remember when he first got the 'mobile warming' jacket for a round in South Carolina with THPers... It was funny as hell haha
Well.... aren't you also a proud Yankees fan?? So enough said....
If you have to add a battery powered heated vest you need to rethink options.... just saying! Hope you're doing well my friend!

I wear some sort of vest everyday when the weather hits 80 and below. Love the Galway from Peter Millar, arcteryx atom LT vest and Patagonia vests for colder weather. As a large man, I love me some vest.
Vested up tonight at sons football game and ordered one earlier this week from Stitch and can’t wait for it to get here.
