4 Courses

Oscar Jacobson has over 111 years of history in the apparel industry and knowing I was going to be spending four days on the Kent coast playing links courses you know you are going to be at the mercy of the elements and all that mother nature can throw at you.

I was glad OJ wanted me to road test their new SS15 collection and I am thankful that they did, we had very little rain, but we certainly had a biting wind with that icy edge that can get right through to your bones and no matter how many hot toddies you down in the clubhouse at the end of your round, its hard to shift that deep set coldness.

But with several different combinations of Greg and Mallard Trousers with the Luka and Anton Polo shirts topped with the Bradley tour half-zip and Milford II Tour, Mulligan or Miller jackets, I was “not only kept nice and toasty but was able to swing the club without feeling bunched up and restricted. And on a very cold day at North Foreland Golf Club I added the Joe Gillet Tour for good measure just to keep that chill out.

Technology:

Oscar Jacobson use a 3-layer system in their golf apparel known as Weather Protection System or WPS, the three layers are a base layer which is breathable and wickers moisture away, these are the shirts, shorts and underwear.

Then you have the mid Layer these are the garments that keep you warm and helps you retain your body heat. Finally you have the Outer Layer, ultra-light garments using a stretchy fabric which helps keep you warm whilst not restricting your swing. These combinations of outer layers are wind and waterproof and are slightly longer in the back giving you added protection for when you take your stance over the ball.

Conclusion:

I loved the colours and the cut of all the apparel tested and I think the WPS system certainly works well and as I have stated they kept me nice and warm during some cold windy Kent weather. When you are playing iconic courses the last thing you want to be worried about is being cold. I enjoyed all the courses that I played on my four-day winter trip to Kent in early March and the last thing on my mind was the cold and that was down to how well the Oscar Jacobson apparel protected me from the elements, helping me look good was an added bonus!
