Puma Spring 2017 Golf Apparel Review

For Spring 2017, Puma has used their existing garment technology in several stylish garments for both men and women. Two men's polos that we saw, the Frequency and the Highlight Stripe, are deigned to not only keep your skin dry but also lower your body temperature as well.

Puma's PWRCOOL Frequency Golf Polo will add a dash of splash to any golfer's wardrobe. Not only does this polo offer UPF 40 protection from the sun's harmful rays, it has a couple of other Puma technologies at play as well. PWR COOL is a highly functional inner cooling print which reacts with moisture, helping you maintain an optimum body temperature. Puma's dryCELL technology wicks moisture away from the body keeping you dry and comfortable. But what sets this shirt apart is the all-over subliminal graphics on the front. The color combinations Puma uses stand out but not to the point of being obnoxious. Your partners are going to remember this polo. The Frequency Golf Polo is available in sizes S-XXL and in three colors: True Blue, Andean Toucan and Bright White (combined with a Rose color). Retail price is $70.

The Highlight Stripe Polo is a lightweight garment that offers 40+ UPF protection as well as Puma's proprietary dryCELL technology, which is designed to keep you cool on the course. This performance fitting garment has great moisture wicking properties and the 91% Polyester, 9% Elastane fabric moves with you with no pinch or bind. The blaze of color on the chest makes this polo stand out, even in the closet. The Cat logo on the left sleeve leaves no doubt as to whose brand you're wearing. The Highlight Stripe Polo is available in sizes S-XXL and in three color combinations: Bright White/Andean Toucan, Bright White/Blue Danube and Puma Black/Periscope which creates a slimming effect. Retail price is $65.00.

The Men's Essential Pounce Golf Pants are made for the golfer with an active lifestyle and easily go from the office to the first tee. This 100% Polyester fabric features Puma's dryCELL technology to keep you dry and comfortable throughout your round and the mechanical stretch fabric moves everywhere you do. The Pounce Golf Pants offer a performance fit, with a locking snap closure and gripper tape at the waistband to keep everything in place throughout the round. There's even a V-notch at the bottom hem to deliver a professional look over your golf shoes. There's an embroidered Cat logo above the back-left pocket. Puma's Essential Pounce Golf Pants are available in waist sizes 28-40 and in 4 colors: Quarry, Puma Black, Peacoat and White Pepper. Retail price is $80.00.

For spring and summer 2017, Puma introduces the Men's Hybrid Golf Short. Not only are these shorts going to elicit some stares, they also provide the ultimate in comfort, fit and performance. The 86% Polyester/14% Spandex fabric offers 4-way stretch and is super lightweight, you'll hardly know you've got them on (but good thing you do cause there's laws against that). Puma's dryCELL technology wicks moisture away from your body for quick evaporation, keeping you dry. The locking snap closure and gripper tape on the waistband see to it that these shorts stay put during your entire round and beyond. The Hybrid Short is available in sizes 28 - 40 and in three colors: Quarry, Puma Black and an eye-catching Andean Toucan (green). All three have a quasi-camo design. Retail price is a scant $70.

For the ladies, Puma's Bloom Stripe Sleeveless Polo is designed with a UV finish to keep you protected from the sun, while Puma's dryCELL technology pulls moisture away from the body, keeping you dry and comfortable. The 92% Polyester, 8% Elastane fabric gives women free range of motion and the performance fit is a figure flatterer. There's also a Puma Cat logo on the left chest.
