For centuries wool shorn from sheep has been made into great clothes – ProQuip was the first golf company to make showerproof golf sweaters.
Our pioneering water repellent knitwear range combines classic golf style with warmth, comfort and outstanding protection from wind and rain.
ProQuip’s showerproof golf sweaters are available in 100% high quality British lambswool or finest Italian Merino Wool and both keep out light rain and showers thanks to our exclusively developed nano-technology DWR (durable water repellent finish).
Tests by ProQuip’s Scottish design team proved that water can sit pooled on the surface of our golf jumpers for 24 hours before penetrating the water repellent outer.
Many golfers prefer not to wear waterproofs during light rain or showers and have found our water repellent knitwear to be ideal for playing golf all year round.
Lambswool Golf Jumpers
ProQuip Lambswool golf sweaters are available in two styles, Cheviot (crew neck) and Herdwick (vee neck).
The 2/17Nm lambswool (New metric – two pieces of fine quality yarn twisted together) produces a premium handle garment that is extremely durable with minimal piling.
Merino Golf Jumpers
Merino wool is Mother Nature’s ultimate performance fabric.
PROQUIP
Merino is the lightest of any sheep’s wool and has a number of natural properties that make it an ideal choice for playing golf in all weathers year round.
Benefits of Merino for Golf
- Lightness – Merino is lighter than any other sheep’s wool
- Softness – Merino is fine and soft and can be worn next to skin without irritation
- Naturally breathable – Merino fibres trap air in small pockets, retaining heat and releasing it when you overheat
- Natural elasticity – Merino has natural stretch and returns to its original shape after exercise
- Warmth – Merino is a warm natural fibre that retains heat in tiny air pockets similar to down feathers
- Odour resistant and anti-bacterial properties – limits effect of sweating during exercise
- Absorbent – Merino Wool can absorb up to 35 per cent of its weight in moisture before it feels damp
ProQuip’s Merino wool golf jumpers have a silky soft feel and moisture wicking qualities, drawing sweat and air away from base and mid layers and into the fibres.
This prevents the body from becoming cold and ensuring vital body heat is retained.
Our showerproof Merino golf sweaters come in three styles:
- ProQuip Merino Vee-Neck
- ProQuip Merino Slipover
- ProQuip Merino half-zip lined golf sweater
Caring for your Showerproof Golf Jumper
All ProQuip knitwear garments benefit from total easy care performance and are machine washable and tumble dryer friendly. Ironing the garments enhances water repellency.
