Golf Business News – Craghoppers launches into golf market with insect-repelling apparel range

Craghoppers, known for its range of outdoor performance clothing, has launched its first ever golfwear collection, which combines its expertise in technical fabrics with the specific needs of golfers.

Available in designs for men and women, the new range has been developed with Craghopper’s unique NosiLife insect repellent technology and is aimed at golfers who play in climates and conditions where biting insects can be an issue.

Built into the fabric of the garment, Craghopper’s NosiLife technology is proven to be effective at repelling insects including mosquitos, midges, ticks and more. The technology lasts the lifetime of the garment and is sourced from a renewable plant-based source, making it a more sustainable choice for environmentally conscious golfers.

The collection features two lightweight jackets – one in fleece and the other in stretch jersey fabric – and five tops – a long-sleeved zip neck, two short-sleeved polos, a long-sleeved polo and a long-sleeved base layer with a high neck. The tops offer UPF50+ sun protection and feature built-in odour elimination technology.

The range also includes trousers for men (pebble and navy) and women (white and navy) which are made from part-recycled polyamide elastane and feature a built-in sunglasses cleaning cloth.

Boasting a slim, athletic silhouette, the range is offered in a variety of classic colourways, including shades of blue and white for men and orchid, dark grey and white for women.

The Craghoppers golf collection launches at retail from April 23. For more details, visit www.craghoppers.com/golf
