Core Benefits for golfers

Fit and Sizing Guidance (men and women)

Fabric and Technology

Two or three layer constructions with DWR faces and taped seams are the key features. Smooth linings slide over layers.

Seasonal Layers

Summer showers: jacket over polo. Prolonged rain: add overtrousers over Trousers.

Care and Longevity

Rinse, wash cool, and renew DWR as needed. Avoid hot dryers that can damage membranes.

Comparison Pointers

Pick better collar comfort and easier venting. Ensure cuffs adjust securely over gloves.

Care and longevity routine

Rinse salt or sand, wash cool, avoid softeners, hang to dry, and reshape collars. Rotate garments if you carry a bag so one seam does not take all the friction.
