New from Sunice’s Typhoon Collection, the Millbrook Pullover is a lightweight, full-stretch, waterproof golf jacket that’s said to be a perfect blend of style and function designed specifically for golfers who refuse to let mother nature dictate their tee times. The Millbrook Pullover by Sunice is produced from a lightweight and quiet material called Zephal which has been engineered to deliver enhanced feel and is highly touted for its waterproof properties and superb breath-ability. A few weeks ago the folks over at Sunice came knocking on our door with a Millbrook Pullover in-hand and one request… “wear our jacket and go golfing!” It sounded so simple, how could we refuse?
As you can see from the image above the Millbrook isn’t all function it’s also quite stylish and is currently available in six eye catching colorways, including: pure white/charcoal windowpane, black/charcoal, regatta/charcoal, midnight/real red, real red and shadow. As for sizing… take a gander at the chart below to see where you fit into their collection.

In fact they’ve even been commissioned as the official outerwear of the Ryder Cup and Solheim Cup!

– The Review –
Comfort:
(9 out of 10) As advertised the Millbrook is quite comfortable, lightweight and surprisingly breathable. We were very happy to find that the jacket fits nicely and doesn’t restrict your golf swing whatsoever! The smooth inner lining makes driving, chipping and putting a breeze. We were also quite fond of the ultra comfy inner wrist cuffs and plush collar.
Design:
(8.5 out of 10) Stylistically we like jacket for it’s bold color options and eye catching patterns, but honestly it’s no fashion masterpiece. What really grabbed our attention with the Millbrook is that it is packed with great features which make it a highly functional jacket for golf junkies. What stuck out in our minds were the waterproof zippers which are a godsend should you get marooned on the 14th green in the middle of a downpour as well as the in-pocket ball cleaner, which is a genius idea that I can’t believe nobody has stolen from Sunice! Additionally the adjustable velcro cuffs and pro trim waist cinching system come in very handy when the winds begin to gust.
Waterproofing:
(10 out of 10) The Zephal fabric Sunice has produced this pullover from is exceptionally waterproof! It’s totally hydrophobic, meaning water simply beads off and never soaks in! This is a great jacket for those days when the weather man is calling for showers, but your itch to crush golf balls is overwhelming.
Durability:
(8.5 out of 10) The Millbrook’s Zephal shell is not only waterproof, it’s thin yet surprisingly strong and proved to be resistant to tearing and punctures in our testing sessions. The stitching is heavy duty all the way around and the zippers are impressively durable with out being over sized or clunky.
Value:
(9 out of 10) Coming in at nearly $200 the Millbrook Pullover isn’t exactly the deal of the year, but its waterproof guarantee and feature packed design make it well worth the asking price in our opinion. If you happen to find it on sale you’re getting a steal!
The Bottom Line:
If you’re a serious golfer who is sick and tired of playing Russian roulette with mother nature every time you hit the links we highly recommend you check out the Sunice Millbrook Pullover for yourself. It’s non-restrictive to your swing, fits like a glove and best of all will keep you high and dry no matter the conditions. We tested this pullover in some pretty extreme conditions over the past several weeks and we can say first hand that it’s an exceptional piece of outerwear that is worthy of any golfers consideration!
