FootJoy Zephyr SS Windshirt is a men’s short-sleeve golf wind layer designed for players who want protection from wind and light moisture without the feel of a traditional long-sleeve jacket. From our point of view, it is a very practical piece for changeable conditions, when it is windy on the course but you still want full freedom of arm movement during the swing.
The Zephyr SS Windshirt is designed as a lightweight golf outer layer for days when you need more protection than a polo shirt or midlayer can offer, but a full jacket would feel too warm or bulky. The short sleeve is a major advantage in milder temperatures, when you want to protect the core from wind while keeping the arms naturally free.
The lightweight woven construction with a DWR finish helps repel moisture in mist or light rain. It is not a full waterproof jacket for heavy downpours, but as protection against wind, dew, drizzle, and short showers, this model makes very good sense.
Raglan sleeves are designed to avoid restriction during the golf swing. During the backswing, body rotation, and follow-through, the player has more freedom around the shoulders, which is very important in a wind layer. As a result, the windshirt feels like functional golf apparel rather than a standard casual jacket.
The full-zip construction allows quick on/off wear and easy temperature regulation during the round. If the wind picks up, you can simply zip it up; if conditions improve or the temperature rises, you can open it quickly or store it in the bag.
Side pockets provide practical space for hands or small items. While waiting to play, they help keep the hands more comfortable and also offer easy storage for smaller accessories.
The 100% polyester fabric is lightweight, easy to care for, and suitable for sports use. From our point of view, the FootJoy Zephyr SS Windshirt is a very good choice for players who want a packable wind layer in the bag for quick weather changes.

Our recommendation
