smhgolf Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 While Antigua serves the need of numerous sports & retail markets, their Golf Apparel is where they continually rise to the top. Year to year, they gather a strong team of Tour Ambassadors, especially on the LPGA. This year their team will include last years Player of the Year Stacy Lewis, as well as Brittany Lang, Stacy Prammanasudh Upton, Gerina Piller, Wendy Ward and Alison Walshe. On the PGA Tour, Justin Bolli, Kevin Streelman, Doug Labelle, Brian Stuard, Chris Couch, Gary Christian and Billy Mayfair will all compete in Antigua apparel on Tour. Fabric & Features Antigua's Spring 2013 collection does not fall short in providing high-performance and quality products. The Spring collection features a series of brighter “pop†colors to their garments, in hopes to appeal to a wider demographic of both male & female golfers. The Leader Pullover, as show above, is a part of their new Performance-72 (PRF-72) product line, and showcases their "Sapphire" hue from the collection. The PRF-72 collection includes moisture management technology to offer better performance and functionality to the fabric. The Leader is made of an 84% Polyester 16% Spandex combination. These fabrics were developed with finer yarn for extra soft & lighter weight design in their polo's. This allows for more breathability, faster moisture wicking, and less restriction in movement. Performance I was highly impressed with the quality feel of the Leader Pullover, and for a lighter weight blend of fabric, it provides a great deal of thermal protection. This blend of fit and fabric is perfect for layering on a cool morning round of golf, or to cover up when you're out to dinner in a chilly room and need to pop on a layer to cover up your goosebumps. This Jacket also features a "Bungee Toggle" underneath the bottom hem. This allows for additional cinching at the bottom to prevent cold air from coming in through there. The Antigua lettering and logo is placed on the left arm sleeve, along with the logo etched in the zipper pull, and additionally on the back neck collar. Antigua's sizing tends to run slightly larger than most ladies' brands so a Small could fit a looser Medium as well. The cut runs straight through the waist, and is great to conceal any bulge through the waist you may need. Value The Leader Pullover shown retails at $59, making it a reasonable price for the quality of fabric and function you can get out of it. If you're looking for functionality more so than a tailored or fitted design, this is definitely a product that will become a new staple in your wardrobe.

SPY ZINGER Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Antigua makes some nice items and they're generally off the radar of most consumer's minds. I wore one of their Desert Dry polo's at least 15 times last year, and it still looked like new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
