Weatherwear 2008 revealed

Slim-line Liberty jacket in ice blue

Leading waterproof manufacturers, ProQuip, based in North Berwick, has introduced it's latest suit - aimed at women.

The lightweight Liberty jacket and trousers are breathable and water-repellant and in a stylish cut that enhances a slim-line appearance, with discreet chest and waist adjusters.

ProQuip, the UK’s No.1-selling rain suit brand, says it knows that women don’t want to arrive on the tee looking exactly the same as their friends - and that's unlikely to happen with a wide range of jacket colours available including leaf, rose, ruby, sapphire, caramel, black and ice blue. Trousers are black.

Says ProQuip's Pauline Dale: “The creation of Liberty has been an exciting project and we are thrilled to launch a suit based entirely on what women golfers and retailers tell us they want and expect from, soft, lightweight golf weatherwear.”

Price of jacket and trousers is £160.

Merino sweater in coral

As well as the traditional V-neck and crew neck sweaters in cashmere, spirol lambswool and fine merino, Glenbrae has introduced new colours including pistaccio, raspberry, coral and hibiscus and moon blue.

Spirol mens and women's long sleeve sweaters cost £49.95 and £39.95 (sleeveless), men's Merino long sleeve sweaters are £49.95 and shirts cost between £24.95 and £34.95.
