The Under Armour UA Drive Lightweight Hoodie is a junior golf layer engineered to deliver extra warmth without unnecessary weight or bulk. Whether warming up on a cool morning or playing through changeable conditions, it keeps young golfers comfortable, protected, and free to perform. UA Storm technology repels water while maintaining breathability, and the ultra-soft double-knit brushed fabric ensures all-day comfort from the first tee to the final putt.
UA Storm is Under Armour's signature weather-resistant technology, applied as a durable water-repellent (DWR) coating directly to the fabric. It causes water droplets to bead up and roll off the surface rather than soaking in, keeping junior players dry in light rain and damp conditions. Crucially, UA Storm does not create a waterproof membrane — the fabric remains fully breathable so body heat and moisture can still escape during active play. This makes the hoodie equally suitable as an early-morning warm-up layer and a reliable mid-layer when the weather turns unpredictable on the course.
The hoodie is constructed from an ultra-soft, double-knit fabric that has been brushed on the interior for an exceptionally smooth, plush feel against the skin. The two-layer knit structure traps a thin layer of warm air close to the body, providing lightweight insulation without the stiffness or extra weight of a traditional fleece. Despite its warmth, the fabric remains impressively light and packable, so it can be worn all day on the course without causing fatigue or restricting the golf swing. The blend of 82% polyester and 18% elastane gives the material its lasting softness, shape retention, and durability through repeated washing.
The 18% elastane content in the fabric gives the hoodie true 4-Way Stretch — the material moves horizontally, vertically, and diagonally with the body without resistance. For a junior golfer, this means the hoodie never pulls across the shoulders during the backswing or restricts hip rotation through the downswing. The stretch also means the garment recovers instantly to its original shape after every movement, avoiding bunching or riding up during play. Combined with a well-proportioned junior fit, 4-Way Stretch makes this hoodie feel almost like a second skin rather than an extra layer of clothing.
The water-repellent treatment used on the UA Drive Lightweight Hoodie is completely free of fluorine-based chemicals (PFCs/PFAs), making it a more environmentally responsible choice compared to traditional DWR finishes. Fluorine-free formulations reduce the environmental impact during manufacturing and end-of-life disposal, without compromising the practical performance on the golf course. The DWR finish continues to repel light rain and moisture effectively, maintaining the hoodie's ability to shed water and dry quickly. Under Armour's commitment to fluorine-free finishing reflects a broader move towards sustainable performance apparel throughout their golf range.
