Wet gear: Latest fashions

waterproof clothing
Masters Golf System 3 suit

During the current spell of wet weather our waterproofs will have been tested to exhaustion so there's a strong focus on companies who are adding weatherwear to their range of golf equipment.

Not only is it appropriate to build a wider loyalty, once you've got a golfer hooked on your hardwear but it's a good way of expanding your brand to have golfers promoting the image.

Masters Golf, based in Weston-Super Mare, Somerset and Benross Golf (Weybridge, Surrey), have built strong reputations for their equipment and are now launching new ranges for clothing and accessories.

Masters Golf says it has taken an holistic approach with its 'Masters System 3' range, using modern technical fabrics, pioneered in tough outdoor like sailing and mountaineering, with three distinct layers - polo or crew neck shirts designed to be worn next to the skin, a mid layer fleece and protective outer layer to withstand gusty or rainy days.

Colours for men in the first and mid-layers include slate/pumpkin or slate/black and silver/slate or regatta/silver for women.

Masters jackets for women

The waterproof suits feature jackets with chin-guard zips adjustable Lycra dry cuffs, draw-cords and longer back panels while black trousers also have four zipped pockets and press stud leg adjustment. The men's jacket is available in black/silver, black/safari and black/red, and the women's in black/aqua and black/coral.

'Masters System 3' collection also includes a range of hats. Base layer shirts are priced from £17.99, fleeces from £27.99, wind jackets at £34.99 and suits from £119.99.

Flagship of the Benross range is the Stretch Extreme full zip jacket that's stylish, roomy, warm and carries a three-year waterproof guarantee.
