Every now and then you walk into a pro shop and just see that one golf top that stands out that you absolutely have to have. I was instantly drawn to the pretty parrot pattern and the vibrant colors of this long-sleeve top. It definitely reflects my personality, which I think is very true of women's golf clothing in general. We all know the women who wear the same pair of trousers and sweater every week. How very boring I say! I’m definitely a lover of fashion and seeing a fun and funky top like this has abundant appeal to me, even if it’s only a one season fad or fashion phase.
Let’s talk next about the fact that it’s long-sleeve yet designed to be worn throughout the summer. Yes, that’s right, a mid-layer that’s actually lightweight enough to allow you to completely cover up and protect your skin against the sun’s harmful rays but with the luxury of staying cool and comfortable. When I slipped this long-sleeve top on I fell in love with it even more. The sheer fabric is velvety soft against the skin. It’s almost translucent when you look at it closely and yet it offers privacy from your bra underneath. The qualities of the fabric are boundless, with in-built UVA sun protection in the material ensuring that no skin damage can be done. The long-sleeve top has been very popular on the Asian tours for many years, where you’ll see most of the women professionals covering up. It’s nice to see that the same thought has gone into designing for the mass market now and with skin cancer more prevalent than ever, it’s good to see Callaway’s design team taking this seriously.
