It Will Opti-Amaze You!

2198

Callaway continues the 2017 season with their Opt-Series technology. This fabric technology keeps you dry (Opti-Dri), moves with you (Opti-Stretch), keeps you protected from the sun (Opti-Shield) and offers the ultimate in comfort and performance (Opti-Soft). The Men’s Opti-Dri Chest Stripe Polo has several of these features built-in. Opt-Dri wicks moisture away from the body, keeping you cool under the hot summer sun and Opti-Stretch provides full range of motion, allowing you to swing freely. No need to worry about harmful UV rays either; Opti-Shield provides a UPF 50 layer of protection from the sun’s harmful rays. The self-collar, two-button placket and three horizontal stripes across the chest give this polo a crisp, clean look. The Callaway Tour Logo on the left sleeve identifies the brand. Best of all, the color combinations in this polo will go with just about anything. The Opti-Dri Chest Stripe Polo is available in sizes S-XXL and in two colors: Bright White, which has a Black chest stripe highlighted with Gray, and Bright White/Highrise, a Blue chest stripe highlighted with Gray. Retail price is $70.

The Opti-Soft Heather Printed Stripe Polo is made from Callaway’s 96% Polyester/4% spandex Opti-Stretch fabric and the two-colored horizontal stripes on a heathered background create a two-toned effect that pair beautifully with a solid-color pair of shorts or slacks. With Opt-Dri, you’ll stay dry throughout your round and well protected from the sun’s harmful rays. Opti-Soft gives this polo an ultra-soft feel and delivers unparalleled comfort. To complete the look, there’s a self-collar and three-button placket and the Callaway Chevron TPU Logo on the left sleeve let’s your foursome know what brand you’re wearing. The Opti-Soft Heather Printed Stripe Polo is available in sizes S-XXL and in 4 colorways: Bright White Heather, Moonlight Heather, Cloisonne Heather and Columbia. Retail price is $70.

Last year during the 2016 Masters, I saw Patrick Reed wearing a sharp looking Callaway Polo. As it turns out, it was Callaway’s Performance Color Block Golf Polo. The Performance Color Block Golf Polo is made from Callaway’s 95% Polyester/5% Spandex fabric that features Opti-Dri, Opti-Shield and Opti-Stretch technology. The two-tone color combination links together the shoulders, sleeves, ribbed collar and 3-button placket, and separates them from the shoulders and back. Throw in the Callaway Tour Logo on the left sleeve and you’ll look like a pro, even if you don’t swing like one. The Performance Color Block Golf Polo is available in sizes S-XXL and in 13 colors. Retail price ranges from $27.99 – $60.

Callaway’s Opti-Soft Essential Polo is extra soft to the touch and with all the Opti-Technology in this shirt, it could become the most popular polo in your closet. Opti-Dri keeps the moisture away, Opti-Shield keeps the sun away and Opti-Soft keeps you comfortable. The 94% Polyester/6% Spandex Opti-Stretch fabric uses interwoven layers of spandex to move with you through your golf swing and provides full range of motion for your arms. There’s a Callaway Tour Logo on left sleeve so no one will mistake whose brand your wearing. The Opti-Soft Essential Polo is available in sizes S-XXXL and retails for $60. Available colors include: Bright White, Cayenne, Asphalt and Cloisonne.

Any of the above-mentioned polos will pair well with Callaway’s Lightweight Tech Short with Active Waistband. The 89% Polyester/11% Spandex Opti-Stretch material has four-way stretch technology and the stretch waistband allows these pants to move with you, meaning you can swing away off the tee. With Opti-Dri, you’ll be comfortable no matter where you are on the course and with Opt-Shield you can rest assured you’re well protected from sun. There’s a Callaway Tour Logo embroidered above the back-right pocket. The Lightweight Tech Short with Active Waistband is available in sizes 30-44 and in three colors: Peacoat, Caviar and Highrise. Retail price is $79.

Every lady needs a go to pair of shorts in their golf wardrobe and Callaway’s Women’s Golf Performance 19″ Woven Short fills the bill nicely. The sleek, chic fit, and four pocket design provide all the fashion and functionality you could ask for in a pair of shorts. Opti-Dri keeps moisture at bay and Opti-Shield UPF 50 protection keeps the sun away. Opti-Stretch has all the flex you’ll need to get through your swing and the Comfort Stretch waistband is just that – comfortable. There’s a Callaway Chevron embroidered above the back-right pocket. The Women’s Golf Performance 19″ Woven Short is available in sizes 2-16 and in White, Caviar, Quiet Shade, Silver Lining Peacoat. Retail price is $65.

The Women’s Opti-Stretch 17” Solid Skort offers a comfortable, feminine fit and comes in enough colors that it will pair nicely with just about any top that Callaway offers. This skort is fashioned from Callaway’s 92% Polyester/8% Spandex fabric and features a Tummy Control Waistband to slim a gal’s figure. Opti-Shield and Opti-Dri also figure into the equation to keep you dry and protected from the sun. There are two front slant pockets for your golf necessities and two slit back pockets for scorecards and yardage books. A Callaway Chevron is embroidered above the right back pocket to identify the brand. The Opti-Stretch 17” Solid Skort comes in sizes XS-XXL and in several colors including Bright White, Peacoat, Caviar, Tango Red, Blue Atoll, Geranium and Silver Lining. Retail price is $60.

Callaway has gone the extra mile to create a skort that is so comfortable, it’s more like a pair of shorts. The Opti-Stretch Elastic Waist Sporty Skort has a power mesh panel and four-way stretch inside the shorts for a slimming effect and with all the Opti-Power (Opti-Dri, Opti-Shield and Opti-Stretch), how can you go wrong. There’s also a Callaway Chevron heat seal logo on the back-right side. It’s available in XS-XL and only in Caviar. It too costs a mere $60.

For those ladies that are a little less subdued and want to channel their inner Jon Daly, Callaway has introduced the Opti-Stretch Two-Tone Floral Skort. The 95% Polyester/5% Spandex Opti-Stretch material stays with you through the entire golf swing and the elastic waist band and power mesh panel with tummy control provides a look that slims your figure and delivers incredible comfort. Opti-Dry will keep the moisture away during your round and Opti-Shield keeps you protected from the sun. The all-over Hawaiian style floral pattern will make you the best dressed lady on the course and have others asking questions. The liner mesh shorts and 2″ vent on the front left seam line help to cool things down. In case you get tired of telling everyone what brand you’re wearing, there’s a Callaway Chevron heat seal above the back right pocket. The Opti-Stretch Two-Tone Floral Skort is available in XS-XL and in Caviar. Retail price is $70.

If you’re more of a shorts gal, try on a pair of Callaway’s Opti-Stretch 19” Plaid Shorts. They provide the utmost in protection against the sun and with the small windowpane squared design, you can pair your shorts with an array of solid-colored Callaway polos. These shorts have a hook and eye closure with zipper, two front pockets that are deep enough to keep your valuables safe and secure and two back scorecard pockets. Callaway’s apparel technology keeps you dry and protected from the sun and the stretch in the fabric moves with you no matter what the activity. Oh, and they’re about the most comfortable shorts you will ever slip on. The Callaway Chevron is embroidered above the back-right pocket. The Opti Stretch 19” Plaid Shorts (with 9” inseam) are available in sizes 2-16 and in either Peacoat or Caviar. They retail for $75.

As we stated earlier, many of Callaway’s bottoms pair well with solid tops, and Callaway has quite a few. The Opti-Shield Solid Polo comes in 12 colors and has all kinds of technology to keep you dry and well protected from the sun’s harmful rays. The 95% Polyester/5% Spandex fabric moves with you, giving you all the added stretch you’ll need and Opti-Dri keeps your skin free of moisture. The ribbed collar and 4-button placket allows for as much or as little sun you desire and the feminine fit gives this polo extra comfort. The Callaway Chevron is embroidered just below the collar on the back. The Opti-Shield Solid Polo is available in sizes XS-XXL and retails for $25 – $50.

If sleeveless is more your style, then the Opti-Shield Sleeveless Polo may be the perfect addition to your golf wardrobe. It shares the same technology as its sleeved sister and has a self-collar and 4-button placket with the Callaway Chevron TPU on the back center, just under the collar. This polo is available in sizes XS-XXL and in 6 colors: Blue Atoll, Bright White, Caviar, Peacoat, Geranium and Tango Red. Retail price is $45.

To round out the outfit, The Women’s Chev Belt could very well be the missing piece. It has a 100% leather topside and 100% Polyurethane backing. There are three colors available: Azure Blue, Dewberry and Pink Lady. All three can be reversed to White. The buckle is an enameled Callaway Chevron logo. Retail price is $40.

There are a lot of choices when it comes to golf apparel, but few that offer the fashion and technology that Callaway has. For more information or to see more of the Spring 2017 collection, visit them at www.callawayapparel.com.
