Gone are the days of sticky, wind-blown wet rain gear. Launching this week, Tiger Woods’ Sunday Red + TaylorMade “Weather Series” is a collection of gear designed specifically to keep you dry and focused on the course. The capsule includes six pieces designed in collaboration with Woods. Woods says he’s never found rain gear that has the flexibility, comfort and performance he and other golfers desire.
The collection includes the only umbrella you’ll ever need for golf (available in three colors), weatherproof pants, and four top layering pieces: a crewneck, half-zip, short-sleeve rain shirt, and a long-sleeve jacket. The attention to detail in the new series is in keeping with the price range, which ranges from $150 for the umbrella to $550 for the jacket. Behind the design elements, you can clearly see a serious golfer. Both of these pieces are tailored (say goodbye to billowy fabrics that can get in the way of your swing and concentration), yet layerable and easy to throw on over a polo or sweater. They’re lightweight, breathable, and pack down compactly. Both the rain shirt and jacket fold up into their own pockets for easy storage and transport.
This isn’t your grandpa’s clunky rainwear. This knit is soft, breathable, and never sticky. The cut minimizes seams (bringing new meaning to the word “seamless” in golf style) for more thorough protection and less waste. The silhouette and fabric are also crafted with noise control in mind, made to move silently with your body during your swing. It’s so quiet you can stay focused on your game when the pressure is on, hitting a difficult putt, or ducking out of danger.
These pieces make the most of a versatile, understated color palette: the bold monochromatic Raven color will match your entire existing wardrobe and is timeless and stylish, plus it pairs perfectly with any shade of Tiger Red.
