What is performance golfwear?
Performance golfwear intelligently combines the technical advances in fabric technology (resilient stretch, temperature control and moisture management, UV protection, anti-microbial odor reduction treatment) with golf-specific design features that enhance golf performance, such as arm and shoulder ease for an unrestricted golf swing, tops that do not interfere with the putting stroke, functional pockets. Performance golfwear keeps you dry (because of the wicking capability of the fabric) and comfortable (because you're dry), and, depending on the garment, also protects you from rain, wind, UV, temperature variations as appropriate. Performance golfwear is meant to be used for golf and to maintain its shape, function and looks after repeated wear and many wash cycles.
Why is having women-specific design important for performance golfwear?
Women's golf apparel should not be men's golf apparel cut smaller. Because of the obvious shape differences, women need ease in the chest and shoulder areas to accommodate our shape and motion during the swing. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways, but it is important that that ease does not result in a baggy midsection which interferes with the top of the putter shaft while putting, or a drooping fabric bulk in the shoulder that binds during the swing.
What's wrong with S-M-L sizing?
We think that both comfort and flattering style depends on good fit. This just cannot be accomplished with Small/Medium/Large sizing. That's why we offer sizes 2-16.
What are armwarmers?
Armwarmers are handy sleeves to keep your arms warm when temperatures vary and you prefer to wear a short sleeve shirt for the warmer part of your activities.
Why armwarmers for golf?
Armwarmers are perfect for cool morning rounds which warm up by the turn or late rounds which turn chilly by the last few holes. The best armwarmers for golf are comfortable, UV protective at UPF 50+ (the highest available UV rating), with perspiration- wicking, anti-microbial/ anti-odor properties and resilient stretch and recovery. They should be machine washable of course! For more information, pls see our armwarmer FAQ in English or in Japanese.
What are sunsleeves?
Sunsleeves are lightweight sleeves to protect your arms from UV rays.
Why sunsleeves for golf?
A round of golf can be a long time in the sun-- and most people don't apply sunscreen liberally or frequently enough. UV protective sunsleeves provide sun protection which will not rub, sweat or wash off. The ideal sunsleeves for golf should be comfortable (not hot!), with the highest UV protection rating (UPF 50+), resilient stretch and recovery, with perspiration-wicking and anti-microbial/ anti-odor properties. They should be machine washable of course! For more information, pls see our sunsleeve FAQ in English or in Japanese.
