We tested 300+ pieces of apparel at the first of two Golf Monthly testing days in 2026, but these six new brands may have stolen the show

The first edition of Golf Monthly's bi-annual testing day has come and gone, with our staff writers and freelancers testing and reviewing more than 300 pieces of the best golf apparel.

As always, the heavy hitters were in there - the likes of adidas, Peter Millar, G/FORE, FootJoy and more were all represented, but we always make attempts to add new brands for each event. Pleasingly, six new brands entered the fray for our Spring/Summer testing day and they didn't disappoint.

Conor joined Golf Monthly in late 2024 after graduating with a Masters degree in Sports Journalism from St Mary's University and heads up reviews for rangefinders, GPS and golf watches. Conor is lucky to have Royal County Down as his home golf course, beginning to play the game at the age of four, later becoming a caddy at RCD at just eleven years old and doing so for over 12 years. Playing to a 5 handicap, you’ll likely find him on the range trying (and failing) to hit a Shane Lowry-esque stinger that helped him win The Open Championship at Royal Portrush.
