FASHIONStyleWatch - Dressing for inclement weather
GPA Correspondent 'Tis the season when weather turns to the chilly side of the thermometer in most parts of the country. Time to take inventory of our golf outerwear. Purge those outdated jackets, tattered base layers, and that wind shirt that no longer stretches over your midsection. Let it go.
A good vest will give just the right amount of warmth on iffy weather days without restricting arm movement. Plus, they look great. Dunning Golf's Interface Thermal windshield vest for men is made from fabric that blocks the wind, but is still breathable. The moisture management won't wash out, and the anti-microbial treatment controls odor. The vest features a comfortable brushed facing on the inside, and four-way stretch allowing full range of motion. On the web: www.dunninggolf.com. A jacket doesn't get more versatile than Bette & Court's Ladies Performance jacket. Wear it to the gym, on a jog, golfing, or for lounging on a lazy Sunday afternoon. The full-zip, poly/spandex jacket is lightweight and lined with performance mesh. It's also breathable, water repellant and has lots of stretch. A figure-flattering cut and two-toned insets give the piece an athletically feminine look. The best feature of all - an iPod pocket on the sleeve. On the web: www.bette-court.com When the forecast calls for possible rain showers, be prepared from head to toe, and include something for your hands. Zero Restriction has a selection of golf gloves for different conditions. For wet weather its snug fitting cotton/lycra rain gloves offer a real playing advantage. Just soak them before play and your grip will not slip. These gloves will assure a firm grip on your club in the worst playing conditions. On the web: www.zerorestriction.com You will look as sharp as a racecar driver in the Autobahn 2 men's jacket by Straight Down. Made from 100 percent polyester performance fabric, the half-zip jacket has stretch and moisture wicking abilities. Contrast piping, collar lining and interior zip placket add sporty detailing and flare. On the web: www.straightdown.com It will be tough getting a raindrop in when you wear Kittrell's solid-lined roll-up rain pant. Each pair is treated with polyurethane for ultimate water resistance. The pants have an elastic waist with drawstring, three pockets, elastic bottom openings, and come with their own convenient carry bag. On the web: www.kittrellouterwear.com Layer all you want, but skip the bulk and stay warm with one premium base layer that will become your cold weather golf staple. Under Armour's ColdGear long sleeve mock neck top is made with a lock-in, rapid moisture transport feature for maximum core temperature regulation.
