adidas Ultimate 365 Tour Frostguard Padded Hoodie Review

There is a lot of cool gear in the golf equipment world that doesn’t always fit neatly into Most Wanted Tests or Buyer’s Guides. You still want to know how it performs. In our We Tried It series, we put gear to the test and let you know if it works as advertised.

What We Tried:

The new adidas Ultimate635 Tour Frostguard Padded Hoodie. Finding quality golf outerwear loaded with the technology demanded by PGA TOUR pros is no easy task. adidas, however, thinks it’s crafted the ultimate golf hoodie for cold days.

Who Tried It:

Will Porter. Golf apparel aficionado and self-proclaimed material nerd. To me, the phrase “Looks good on the course and off the course” is apt, albeit overused. Being able to rock my favorite golf apparel off the course is a plus but, first and foremost, I want it to perform. If it’s not comfortable from tee to green, I’m not going to wear it. Period.

The Ultimate365 Tour line from adidas is made for the pros they sponsor. It’s made to perform when money is on the line and glory is just a 10-footer away. Lucky for us normies, we can get in on the action. And it’s not just marketing speak. When I throw on my Frostguard hoodie, it’s the same one I’m likely to see Xander Schauffele rocking on a chilly Sunday at Pebble Beach. But, all of that praise aside, does it actually work on the golf course?

A Cold-Weather Staple I Will Continue to Rely On

I just relocated from NYC to Boise, Idaho, and, for me, that means much more outdoor golf and, subsequently, much more golf when it’s cold outside. While hitting the simulator is all well and good, there’s nothing like pulling off a head cover early on a Saturday when the frost has just melted and there’s a chill in the air. I can almost feel it as I sit here at my computer. What’s required for this mind-tingling buzz of a morning, aside from a steaming cup of coffee?
