Antigua Expands Desert Dry™ Xtra-Lite To Its
Outerwear And Introduces Its Bamboo Fabrics For 2010
The Antigua Group, Inc., one of the nation's leading golf apparel
manufacturers announced that it has expanded DESERT DRY™
XTRA-LITE to its Rendition Jackets for 2010.
The two-way stretch fabric allows the Rendition jacket to be lightweight
and resistant to water. It's easier to move and stretch. Antigua has
designed this fabric that stretches and doesn't let water in - a perfect
fit for
its golf outerwear.
Sean Gregg, the head designer for Antigua says, "The Rendition jackets
have been very well-received by consumer, in fact so well received, that
Antigua is now looking to do windshirts, pullover jackets and full-zip
outerwear. We've been doing the performance category for the last four or
five years in golf and when the golf industry first introduced performance
fabrics we did color blending and things appropriate for performance. "
Gregg adds, "We'll take it into a more sophisticated color palette with
cleaner styling. Performance product doesn't have to be a bright
color-block look. We've expanded the performance demographic to include
something anyone, whether they are young or mature, can wear out-on or off
the course."
Also new for Spring 2010 is the proprietary DESERT DRY™ Bamboo.
DESERT DRY™ BAMBOO is a combination of Antigua's exclusive DESERT DRY™
moisture wicking feature combined with environmentally friendly bamboo
blended fabrics for maximum wicking performance and optimum comfort. Using
Bamboo as a fabrication in Antigua's performance collection not only offers
the consumer additional choices in natural fabrics intended to be friendly
to the environment - but the bamboo fiber itself is an extremely supple
fiber with the same moisture wicking aspects as synthetics that knits into
an exceptionally comfortable garment and still allows Antigua to achieve
the performance ability of the garment and classify it as one of its new
DESERT DRY™ XTRA-LITE products.
DESERT DRY™ XTRA-LITE (D2XL) combines Antigua's exclusive DESERT DRY™
moisture-wicking feature with specially constructed ultra-light fabrics for
maximum wicking performance and optimum comfort. The additional benefits of
DESERT DRY™ XTRA-LITE are:
* Moisture wicks more rapidly
* Lighter weight on body
* Less heat trapped on body
* Less restrictive movement
Antigua's new DESERT DRY™ XTRA-LITE is an extremely light fabric without
being sheer. The three-dimensional construction is what makes the fabric
extremely light without being sheer or see-through. Because the fabric has
a lighter weight construction, DESERT DRY™ XTRA-LITE wicks away moisture
even quicker than Antigua's proprietary DESERT DRY™, a performance fabric
the company created when it introduced its performance category for golf
several years ago.
