Ping Latham

PING Latham Men’s Half Zip Midlayer is a men’s golf midlayer designed for players who want a lightweight, stretchy, and comfortable top for layering throughout the season. From our point of view, it is a very practical midlayer for golfers who want to combine athletic style, freedom of movement, and functional moisture-moving fabric.

The Latham model works well as a layer over a polo shirt or technical base top. In cooler weather, it can be paired with a vest or waterproof jacket, while in milder conditions it also works well as an outer layer. It is the type of garment a player can use on the course, at practice, and away from golf.

The practical half zip design allows easy temperature regulation during play. When it is cooler, the zip can be closed higher; during more active walking or warmer conditions, it can be opened slightly to improve ventilation. In golf, this is very useful because both weather and body temperature often change during a round.

The two-colour half-zip opening gives the midlayer a more modern and athletic look. Self-fabric cuffs help create a clean fit at the wrists, while flatlock seams improve comfort during movement. As a result, the top also wears well under another layer without unnecessary friction or bulk.

The fabric with a high proportion of recycled polyester and elastane is designed for stretch, lightness, and quick drying. 80% recycled polyester / 20% elastane is a strong combination for golf apparel because it supports freedom of movement during the swing, easy care, and good comfort while walking.

SensorCool® technology focuses on breathability, moisture movement, and comfort during activity. In practice, this means the midlayer helps maintain a comfortable feel throughout the round, especially when the player alternates between walking, swinging, and waiting between shots.

The top offers Stretch Properties, Moisture Movement, Quick Dry, and Crease Resistant performance. This will appeal to players who want clothing that moves well, dries quickly, is easy to maintain, and still looks neat after longer wear or travel.

Who we recommend this midlayer for

• golfers who want a lightweight men’s midlayer for the course,
• players who prefer a half-zip design for temperature control,
• golfers who want stretch fabric and freedom of movement during the swing,
• players looking for a midlayer with moisture movement and quick drying,
• golfers who want a layer that works over a polo and under a jacket,
• players who value recycled polyester in the fabric composition,
• golfers who want a sporty-elegant men’s golf look.

Who we would not recommend it to as a first choice

• players who need a thick insulated layer for very cold weather,
• golfers looking for a fully waterproof rain jacket,
• players who prefer a full-zip midlayer instead of a half-zip design,
• golfers who want a very loose oversized fit,
• players looking for a classic cotton sweater without technical properties.

Disadvantages to consider

• not a waterproof outer layer for rain,
• strong cold conditions will require another insulated layer,

Our recommendation

We recommend the PING Latham Men’s Half Zip Midlayer to golfers who want a versatile midlayer for regular golf conditions. It makes the most sense for players looking for a lightweight, stretchy, functional top with good moisture movement and a clean athletic look.

If you need a midlayer over a polo shirt, under a vest, or under a waterproof jacket, Latham is a very good choice. However, if you are mainly looking for a winter insulated layer or rain protection, we recommend combining it with a suitable jacket or warmer layer.
