Short notice given only substantially as follows: For years, the golf industry has been improving its hardware and ball consistency. Attention has now turned to golf clothing, with Schoeller claiming that its high-tech finishes help enhance wearer comfort and performance. The Swiss textiles company claims its 3XDRY finish with moisture wicking and dirt repelling properties, and its coldblack finish, offering protection against UV light, enhance wearer comfort during play. Extreme demands are placed on a golfer's body when the sun is beating down. The golfer begins to perspire and feels increasingly uncomfortable. Schoeller has pointed to studies which show that when perspiration causes a fluid loss of 2% bodyweight, performance capacity drops by up to 20%. The corresponding result is a decrease in stamina and concentration. Over 18 holes, this can have a drastic effect on a handicap. Schoeller says that its 3XDRY technology supports a player's wellbeing, as perspiration is immediately transported away from the body and distributed widely across his/her clothing. As a result, the moisture can evaporate quickly and close to the body, supporting its natural cooling function, therefore reducing perspiration. According to Schoeller, the unpleasant feeling of a shirt or pants sticking to the skin occurs less frequently and perspiration marks are practically invisible from the outside. Schoeller adds that textiles with a 3XDRY finish repel water and dirt from the outside and dry faster after laundering. Functionality remains intact after 50 wash cycles and can be reactivated as needed through heat treatment - ironing or tumble drying. For golfers who prefer dark clothing, the coldblack textile finish offers this option in sunny conditions. Coldblack is said to reflect a large proportion of radiated heat, making it possible to significantly reduce heat absorption in direct sunlight. As a result, dark colours, in particular, heat less. Coldblack builds up reliable protection from UV rays and has a minimum UPF value of 30, meaning that the skin's own protection is extended by a factor of at least 30. Clothing with coldblack reduces perspiration and enhances wearer comfort, contributing to improved performance. It is also suitable for non-garment applications such as awnings, sun shades and tents.
