New Ping apparel collection launched
The new Ping apparel collection launched today combines technical fabrics with updated styling so golfers can feel and look their best out on the course
Hot off the heels of the launch of the Ping G range comes Ping's new Spring/Summer 2016 apparel collection, which incorporates a host of technologies to help golfers look and feel their best out on the course, including the cutting-edge Coolmax all-season fabric.
Through the brand’s Sensor technology platform, the new collection from Ping uses performance driven fabrics and technologies to enhance the comfort and performance of the golfer in all playing conditions.
“At Ping, we continually strive to engineer every single product to deliver maximum performance in all conditions,” said Andy Solheim, Executive Vice President.
“We are particularly excited about the introduction of Coolmax fabric technology into the 2016 apparel range, and believe it has enabled us to take garment engineering to the next level, while maintaining exceptional quality and refined visual appearance.”
At the heart of the new polo shirt collection and within the Sensor Cool category, Coolmax all-season fabric compliments the body’s natural thermoregulation capabilities through Channel and Hollow Fiber Technology, offering the perfect solution for the varying conditions experienced during a golf round.
This intelligent fabric contains fibres with a channelled surface to move moisture away from the body to keep the wearer cool and dry in warm conditions and fibres with a hollow core to provide insulation for added comfort on colder days.

The direction of the collection’s polo shirts is showcased by the Atlas Heather (above) and Radar Striped polo’s shirts, which combine the quick drying, natural feel, lightweight and breathable functionality of this special fabric with a tailored fit and attention to detail in the form of hidden, button down collars.
As with all Coolmax fabrics, long lasting performance is achieved through permanent advanced moisture moving properties which are inherent in the fabric. A fabric containing a Lycra fibre also delivers bi-directional stretch along with long lasting shape retention and comfort.
Other flagship designs in the new collection are the Midas Half Zip (below) and Sierra Sweaters, which combine Coolmax all-season fabric blended with natural Merino Wool to create a high performing technical garment.
The Hollow and Channel Fiber Technology delivers excellent thermal and advanced moisture movement often associated with technical fabrics, but retains the luxurious, natural and breathable performance of Merino Wool.
Details: Sizes: XS-XXL. RRP: Radar Striped Polo £65, Atlas Heathered Polo £65, Midas Half Zip Sweater £75, Sierra Sweater £70
