Golf shirts are traditionally designed as polo’s and are probably the number one piece of clothing a player will look for. A regular golf shirt will have rib-knit collars and button plackets with occasional chest logo of the brand or storage pocket.
Innovation has made golf shirts even more important to a players game, with new and smarter technologies offering better performances on the golf course. From adidas and nike to PUMA and Callaway, new technologies and player-friendly designs are always been created, and in 2014 there is a wealth of quality golf shirts to choose from.
adidas offer such a wealth of technologies that it's easy to be washed away in its currents. In warm weather conditions there's ClimaCool Technology which wicks moisture from skin so no matter how strenuous the activities, the wearer does not feel a drop of sweat on their skin. For colder weather, ClimaWarm is available, and this works to assure the wearer stays warm and comfortable in very cold temperatures. adidas has seen a lot of positivity from this technology and they look set to continue in this vein.
Technologies associated with Nike are widely known, especially in golfing circles, and this is because their level of expertise in assuring the right attire is set for the right conditions is arguably second to none. Dri-Fit construction allows for the body to play hard without perspiration, thus creating comfort and performance seldom seen in other sportswear.
PUMA tend to take a different tact when it comes to keeping golfers cool on the course in the form of Dry Cell Technology. Found in ‘Colour Block' shirts, Puma instilled Dry Cell Technology into their clothing in order to reduce perspiring via blocking out the suns heat. Dry Cell Technology practically pushes the sun back, leaving the wearer feeling cool and comfortable with no irritations.
The masters of battle-hardened attire, Under Armour enter this list with their impressive ColdBlack Technology. ColdBlack Technology works to block heat from the sun to leave a feeling of cool comfort and stops dark colours from drawing the sun so feeling weighted down when wearing this polo shirt is eliminated entirely. A signature Moisture Transport System wicks moisture from the skin to keep players drier, lighter, and more comfortable, while UPF sun protection helps prevent sun damage.
