As the weather in many parts of the country starts to turn chilly, adidas Golf is countering Mother Nature with its new ClimaProof Storm 3-Way Convertible Jacket that can be worn three ways – long-sleeve, short-sleeve or vest – depending on the weather.
"Our ambition was to reinvent the rain jacket to make it more versatile, so it can be worn in a variety of conditions, and to make it less restrictive, so that every type of shot can be executed with absolute freedom," said Tiss Dahan, adidas Golf's senior director of apparel.
Dahan said the ClimaProof Storm 3-Way Convertible Jacket unites advanced structural design and modern four-way stretch properties to eliminate excess material that would otherwise get in the way of the swing. That includes a thin-yet-warm removable 360-degree compression wrap inner layer that delivers increased support and precludes the need for a liner, eliminating bulk. Dahan said a golfer can make a full swing with complete freedom while wearing this jacket, and can also chip and putt without the distraction of excess material impeding the motion of the arms and hands.
The ClimaProof Storm 3-Way Convertible Jacket was introduced on tour at this year's Open Championship, where it was worn by adidas Golf Tour Staff professionals including Sergio Garcia, Justin Rose and Sean O'Hair. It color schemes include black, zinc-black and Barez. The suggested retail price is $275.
