FootJoy, the #1 Shoe & Glove in Golf, has launched its new Spring/Summer 2017 Performance Golf Apparel range, combining four new colour stories, an improved Essentials line and the all-new MT Lite Trouser to Make Every Day Playable.
Four new colour stories, blending warm and muted tones with cool and daring shades, will present the golfer with a wealth of style options, while the ever-evolving Essentials line delivers a number of additional options which are complementary to each collection.
The introduction of the Performance MT Lite Trouser is a particularly exciting addition to the most advanced range in FJ’s history, ensuring golfers are more than catered for with a total provision of four trouser styles for Spring/Summer 2017.
Geared to allow the wearer to stay cool and dry in wet and humid conditions, as can often occur in the UK summertime, FootJoy’s new Performance MT Lite Trouser is made from lightweight stretch nylon fabric, offering comfort and breathability. One-way moisture transfer fabric wicks perspiration away from the skin keeping you comfortable throughout the round. An anti-microbial finish helps prevent odour build-up while a built-in SPF 50 UV offers protection on the course, too.
“We understand that the golfer today demands garments that not only look fantastic but aid their performance. To meet these needs, we’ve sourced a selection of highly technical materials that will help our golfers look, feel and play great,” said, Paul O’Hagan, FJ Marketing Executive.
“Make Every Day Playable is our mantra at FootJoy and so you’ll find an exciting colour palette across our four new collections that reflects the varied seasons in the UK. We believe our SS17 apparel range offers a wardrobe choice for every golfer.”
The Mirage, Vision, Pacific and Astral colour stories embody the forecasted trends for 2017 following exhaustive worldwide market research and are sure to provide golfers across the UK with a plethora of comfortable, stylish, performance-driven options.
