Jack Nicklaus Golf Apparel introduces the
Sports Fit Collection, whose shorter body,
sleeves and placket should appeal to a more
youthful customer. The company also presents PrimaLoft technology as part of its
Performance 18 collection, which blends
ultra-fine PrimaLoft fibers and soft merino
wool for enhanced insulation benefits.
Nike Golf is all about the Tour Line of DriFIT UV, body mapping and Nike Sphere. This
category features zoned performance, which
amplifies the garment’s ability to provide
moisture management, cooling and UV
protection. From Page & Tuttle, look for
Micro-Cool shirts in classic argyle and tropical
patterns that use tuck stitches to provide
design and ventilation in the garment.
Ping Collection continues to expand its
Dry Fiber Dynamics category with a technical
short with stain release. This 100-percent poly
garment is available in a plaid pattern in two
color combinations and has a gripper waistband and scorecard pocket. Smith & Tweed is
also focusing on performance with Pima Tech
shirts made of double mercerized 80s two-ply
yarn with a wicking micro-poly back. Over at
Dunning Golf, cotton-Coolmax blended bottoms and performance woven button-downs
highlight the brand’s exclusive proprietary
fabric technologies for the fall season.
Tony Smith, national sales manager for
Antigua, says his company continues to “push the envelope”
with new, lighter weight fabrics
like HydraLight, which performs
in heat and cooler temperatures.
Smith also says he’s seeing a push
toward cotton blends in the market – both cotton-poly and bam-boo-poly – something he expects
to present in the Antigua line in
spring 2010. “We’re also seeing
the layering process beginning to
catch on as golf shops figure out
how to merchandise it,” he adds.
