Equipment: Ping Autumn/Winter 2016 apparel launched
The Ping Autumn/Winter 2016 collection is the company’s most advanced technical performance apparel range to date featuring state-of-the art fabrics and technologies to help golfers on the course in all conditions.
Last year Ping decided to bring the design and manufacturing of their apparel in-house to ensure the same attention to detail in their clubs could be found in the clothing side of the business.
The result has been garments with a clean, stylish look that stay true to the brand’s ethos of meeting the performance needs of the serious golfer.
This was underlined when the brand re-signed former Open Champion Louis Oosthuizen to a long-term apparel deal.
European Tour stars Brandon Stone and Rhys Davies are now also sporting the gear.
The Ping Autumn/Winter 2016 collection utilises performance fabric technologies to deliver advancements in both thermal and lightweight apparel.
Through the Ping Sensor Platform – consisting of Sensor Dry, Sensor Warm and Sensor Cool – the brand say every garment is specifically engineered to respond to the body’s requirements and the demands of the game.
