MONTEGO MON Dockers Golf goes silky smooth It may be fall, but that doesn’t mean that your island wear needs to be tucked away for the next six months. If you like the feel of silk and the look of bright colors, check out the Montego Mon line from Dockers Tour Golf. Montego Mon features a full collection of silk shirts, including golf polos. Montego Mon silk is triple mercerized to create a brilliant sheen, luster and comfortable feel. Montego Mon shirts sell for about $60 and can be seen in some pro shops in the area, or you can shop online at www.Amazon.com. MOSEAU Shoot, bamboo feels nice Bamboo is good for more than feeding Panda bears. Moseau bamboo fiber clothing uses bamboo to make breathable men’s golf clothes that are good in any weather. Bamboo fiber is softer than cotton with a texture similar to a blend of cashmere and silk. It feels great and is weighty like a Pima cotton, which is great for cooler fall nights. The moisture absorbency of bamboo fiber is twice that of cotton, and the fiber feature makes it a difficult fabric to stain. Shirts sell online for $42; socks are $15 for three pair. Check out the terrific colors and styles at www.moseau.com. WEATHERSOF AND RAINGRIP GLOVES Give FootJoy a hand FootJoy has designed some golf gloves that are perfect for less than ideal weather conditions. WeatherSof gloves are a bit thicker than cabretta leather gloves and are made from a synthetic microfiber that keeps body heat in while maintaining a leather-like feel. RainGrip gloves are made of a microfiber that gives players optimum grip in wet conditions. The RainGrip glove also has an elastic band to hold tees so you don’t have to stick your wet hands in your pockets. WeatherSof gloves sell for $12, RainGrips for $20. Check them out at Roger Dunn Golf Shops or at www.rdgolf.com. GUSTBUSTER UMBRELLA Stand up to the elements with confidence It’s the time of year when golfers should keep an umbrella handy. If you don’t have one, you should. (Remember last winter?) If you want an umbrella that withstands wind and rain like no other, check out the GustBuster, a product reportedly used by 80 percent of the world’s professional golfers. The company’s umbrellas are superior because of their material, framework and design that stands up to 55 mph winds. GustBusters come in 28 color combinations and have a suggested retail price of $40. Check them out at GolfSmith, Roger Dunn Golf Shops or at a retailer near you by visiting www.gustbuster.com. |
