Glenmuir Autumn/Winter ‘08 – Men’s Performance Range

New Glenmuir Men’s Performance Range- Focus On Technical Fabric Innovation

The new Autumn/Winter ‘08 Men’s Performance collection from Glenmuir offers golfers the very latest in sports fabric technology – and delivers outstanding protection from the elements at a time of year when golfers’ clothing is tested to the limit.

Glenmuir is one of Europe’s leading golf apparel brands and at the forefront of the collection from the Lanark, Scotland-based company are two new waterproof jackets - the Rain Bloc® Stretch and Rain Bloc® Light - and two windshirts, the Storm Bloc® Windstretch Pro and Storm Bloc® Windstretch Club.

The Rain Bloc® Stretch and Rain Bloc® Light both feature outstanding fabric technologies to ensure the very best weather-beating performance.

The zip-neck Rain Bloc® Stretch combines a 98% polyester and 2% Teflon-coated, breathable stretch microfibre outer fabric with a high specification, 100 percent polyester waterproof and breathable stretch lining – which is separated from the outer by an airgap.

The jacket is available in three colourways – black with silver contrast piping detail on the front and back and contrast binding at the cuffs, graphite with black contrast piping and binding, and winter white with navy contrast piping and binding.

The feature-packed Rain Bloc® Light comprises a 100 per cent polyester super-soft lightweight, waterproof, laminated microfibre outer fabric and an ultra-light breathable micro-mesh lining.

It comes in three colours - silver/black, black/graphite and navy/winter white.

Both products excel at keeping wet weather out while allowing moisture to wick away from the body and are available in sizes S-XXL.  Both are backed by a three-year waterproof guarantee.

The long-sleeved Storm Bloc® Windstretch Pro and short-sleeved Storm Bloc® Windstretch Club both boast a 96 per cent polyester and 4 per cent elastane Teflon-coated, breathable, stretch microfibre outer fabric and a lightweight, breathable stretch lining.

Both shirts are available in sizes S-XXL and three colourways – silver with black contrast panels and piping, kiwi with graphite contrast panels and piping and navy with winter white contrast panels and piping.

The breathable windshirts fit easily into a golf bag pocket and are designed to give instant protection when temperatures drop suddenly on the course.

Glenmuir has also introduced the first long sleeved model in its hugely-popular Hi-Cool® range of performance golf shirts - the Hi-Cool ® Base. Manufactured from 70 per cent cotton and 30 per cent polyester jersey, the cotton handle feel is superior to the ‘football shirt’ feel of some other modern synthetic fabrics.

The shirt’s renowned Hi-Cool® Moisture Management System quickly draws moisture away from the body and into the fabric but boasts phenomenal quick-dry wicking properties to keep the golfer dry and comfortable.

Available in sizes S-XXL, the shirt comes in three colours – black with silver piping, graphite with black piping and white with navy piping.

Glenmuir has also added two stylish and practical lined sweaters – the Birkdale and Carnbee – which feature a hard-wearing, breathable and quick-drying water, oil and soil repellent Nano-Technology Bionic Finish®.

The sweaters are manufactured from 100 per cent machine washable luxurious merino acrylic and feature the latest stretch fabric linings to ensure the best possible swing flexibility. Both styles come in sizes S-XXL.

The zip-neck Birkdale is available in chilli pepper, graphite and navy colourways, with the crewneck Carnbee available in black, kiwi and latte.
The new product colour availability reflects Glenmuir’s exciting new Autumn/Winter ’08 colour palettes - Elements (deep reds, black greys and ochre), Fairway (vibrant kiwi, citrus green, sand, linen, black and greys) and Caffe Latte (creams, coffee, navy and pale pinks).

Glenmuir Marketing Director, Andy Bough, said: “Our Men’s Performance Collection focuses on technical fabric innovation, continuing our commitment to playing a key role in the growth of the golf performance wear market.

“In particular, we have identified the waterproof market as a key area for growth and are very excited about our new waterproof jackets - the Rain Bloc® Stretch and Rain Bloc® Light.

“We know that comfort and performance are paramount when choosing golf clothing and we aim to deliver on both counts.”
