The Merino Tech Vest is made from the finest 100% natural merino wool, the original performance fabric. Like it did for sheep on the original Scottish linksland, merino will keep you warm when it’s cold and cool when it’s hot. But unlike their old-school knits, this one is treated so you can throw it in the wash and not worry about shrinking or losing shape. The 9 Gauge knit has a heavier, vintage feel that complements the V neck style and makes an excellent piece for off course occasions. We’ve also reinforced the garment with laser-cut ripstop panels, so if it gets beat up in your bag and you throw it on before entering the clubhouse you’ll still come out looking sharp. The backwards facing side pocket is in the shape of a golf green, because why not?
