The latest issue of the Golf Association of Philadelphia Magazine covered an important aspect of golf in the Philadelphia region during winter months: cold-weather play. An esssential key to braving the elements and keeping one's golf game from going in hibernation is equipping yourself properly. Here are some suggested pieces of apparel and equipment to ensure your comfort levels are at an all-time high while playing in wintry weather:
A water-resistant/windproof outer shell fabric combats winter weather. Additional features include 278 grams of synthetic insulation fill and four Microwire™ heating zones: collar, chest (two), and back. It reaches temperatures up to 135 degrees Fahrenheit. Equipped with a dual mode 7-volt battery and wall charger. Designed to be close fitting for enhanced warmth.
Features include a removable insulated liner with four Microwire™ heating zones: leg (two) and hip (two). Knox™ CE approved armor at the knees in height adjustable pockets compliments direct ventilation on the thighs. Superfabric™ panels on knees and a pre-wired sock / insole connections at the end of the legs add to the insulation. Includes battery harness and fuse set.
Perform your best even when the chill sets in with the climaheat Boa — offering climaheat™ multi-layered lining for great warmth and comfort, and a lightweight microfiber upper with climaproof® for added protection and durability. And comfort is paramount, too, in the climaheat Boa: the mid-cut design delivers a soft and flexible fit while you walk and swing, the soft EVA midsole features deep flex grooves for puremotion® flexibility, the new tour performance last is designed for improved fit, and the fitfoam® PU sockliner provides great cushioning and support all day long.
ClimaWarm microfleece fibers in this beanie to keep warmth in but let moisture out for maximum comfort for those really cold days on the golf course.
Its fitted feature means next-to-skin without the squeeze. Dual-layer ColdGear® fabric boasts an ultra-warm, brushed interior and a slick, fast-drying exterior. A four-way stretch fabrication allows greater mobility in any direction. A patented Moisture Transport System wicks sweat and dries fast. Anti-odor technology prevents the growth of odor causing microbes. The Under Armour Golf logo is located on back neck.
The Thermal Grip 2-Pack Gloves are built for peak performance in extreme conditions. Opti Shield™ Microfiber Outer Shell repels water and provides wind protection. Digitized Synthetic Leather Palm improves grip in wet conditions. Opti Therm™ Thermal Fleece Inner Lining keeps hands warm.
If there is snow on the ground, drop the Volvik DS77 ball into your bag. Available in orange, pink and yellow, the Volvik DS77 features a high COR (a measure of the efficiency of the transfer of momentum between two colliding bodies) for maximum ball speed and a 77 compression to reduce drive spin, resulting in extreme distance. It has a high velocity core for maximum ball speed with low driver-spin and longer impact time increases distance and minimizes unnecessary side-spin. Its DualSpin core produces less driver spin off the tee and more greenside spin with wedges while its Soft DualSpin core cover and 372 dimple pattern delivers increased flight time and reduces drag for more distance off the tee. The soft core produces a pleasant soft feel and more accurate shot control and putting feel.
