The ifrothgolf review
The Edwin is Ping's everyday half-zip mid-layer: a grid-back fleece in a recycled-polyester and elastane blend, finished with Sensorwarm thermal treatment, a light water-resistant coating, cover-stitch seams and a contrast-colour zip. It is built to sit between a base polo and an outer shell, or to go solo on a mild day.
What's great
The grid-back fleece is the standout. It traps warmth without the bulk of a chunky sweater, so you keep full shoulder turn instead of feeling strapped in. The elastane content means it genuinely moves with the swing, the half-zip lets you dump heat fast on the back nine, and it sits comfortably enough to wear off the course. Easy-care, machine-washable fabric is a real bonus for a layer that lives in your golf bag.
Worth knowing
The water-resistant claim is light protection only, so it sheds a few spits of drizzle but is not a wet-weather layer; pack a proper shell if rain is forecast. The grid fleece runs warm, so in anything above genuinely cool conditions you will overheat. It is also now an older-season piece that is heavily discounted and increasingly sold out in popular sizes, so colour and size choice is thin and you may be limited to whatever is left in stock.
The verdict
A smart, no-nonsense warmth layer that nails the brief: light, stretchy and swing-friendly. At its current clearance price it is excellent value, just buy with eyes open on the limited sizing and that the weather protection is minimal.
