Quarter-Snaps

A quarter-snap pullover is a type of lightweight or midweight layer featuring a partial snap-button closure at the collar, rather than a zipper. It typically combines the ease of a pullover with a more elevated look, and is often made from soft, insulated or performance fabric. Designed for transitional weather, a quarter-snap sweater adds warmth and polish without bulk.

Quarter-snaps are best worn during transitional weather, cool mornings, breezy afternoons, or mild fall and spring days on the course. They provide a balance of warmth and breathability, making these golf pullovers ideal when a full jacket feels too heavy. The snap-button neckline offers adjustable ventilation and a polished appearance that transitions easily from golf outings to the office or get-togethers.

While both quarter-snaps and quarter-zips serve as smart layering pieces, they differ in construction and aesthetic. Quarter-zips feature a zip closure that offers easy temperature control and a slightly sportier look. Quarter-snaps use snaps at the neckline, which can lend a more classic or elevated appearance.

Yes, quarter-snaps make excellent layers for cool days. The versatile design means you can throw a quarter-snap over a tee or under a heavier jacket, depending on the temperature. Whether made from soft cotton, fleece, or a quilted blend, a quarter-snap adds just the right amount of warmth without the bulk of a single heavier layer. Some styles are even tailored from technical fabrics for added comfort when the game heats up. Always check the product details to see how cozy (or lightweight) your selection is.
