And just like that, another golf season is drawing to a close and it's time to think about winter golf again. Thermals and waterproof trousers, snoods and bobble hats, preferred lies and temporary greens... you know the drill.
If you're looking for some new gear for the colder winter months, FootJoy have updated their HydroSeries and ThermoSeries ranges for AW24.
Building on the success of previous collections, even more performance technology has been added to produce what the brand are calling their best rainwear and thermal collection to date.
There are new technologies, new colours and styling, with headline pieces including an updated HydroTour Jacket and HydroLite X Jacket and hoodie.
FootJoy HydroSeries AW24 Collection
Featuring an updated design and new technologies to aid performance, the HydroTour remains as the go-to waterproof jacket to protect golfers from the worst of conditions.
It has a three-layer, four-way stretch waterproof fabric that ensures you stay protected whilst still being able to swing freely out on the course.
Under-arm zip venting adds extra breathability, whilst the DrySeal collar is a handy touch to help prevent water running down the neck.
FootJoy have inclued a new C0 DWR finish to the AW24 range which is PFC free, as part of their ongoing sustainability efforts.
HydroLite X
Designed for use in warmer playing conditions, the HydroLite X features a lightweight and breathable 2.5 layer, four-way stretch fabric for year-round versatility.
There's engineered knit panelling for maximum freedom of movement, and a special hem construction which reduces bulk or interference when addressing the ball. The jacket comes in a choice of five different colourways.
Alongside the jacket are a new HydroLite X Trouser and Hoodie, providing a modern look with added protection from the elements. There are also new HydroSeries bucket hats and waterproof caps available.
For women, a new Heather Grey colour option is available, giving female golfers more choice.
FootJoy ThermoSeries AW24 Collection
The ThermoSeries using the 'layering' principle as each product is designed to be suitable for use in conjunction with any of the other items the range, to provide maximum warmth on the course.
New for AW24 is the Hybrid Jacket, which offers warmth and heat retention thanks to a stretch thermo fleece fabric and quilted woven panelling.
The ThermoSeries pullover hoodie has a waffle fleece lining and raglan sleeve construction, allowing golfers to play with freedom in even the coldest conditions.
There are also new vests, jackets and midlayers in the new ThermoSeries collection, with a water-resistant PFC free C0 DWR finish to add an extra layer of protection.
Rounding out the range, a Jacquard Thermal Chill-Out and Space Dye Thermal Chill-Out are designed to give golfers more choice than ever when it comes to adverse weather conditions.
Women's ThermoSeries
The women's range features a new Insulated Jacket and Vest, offering max comfort and warmth with curved hemlines for a more modern and fashionable fit.
There's a ThermoSeries Hybrid Hoodie with brushed back knit fabric and insulated diamond quilting for added warmth, as well as a ThermoSeries Trousers with four-way stretch for a complete range of motion.
These items are supported by an improved Essentials collection, featuring new thermal midlayers, bottoms and accessories to complete the lineup.
"We're extremely excited to offer an Autumn/Winter apparel collection which builds on the success of our HydroSeries and ThermoSeries franchises - adding all-new styles and technologies to take the range to the next level. With a real focus on golf-specific performance we feel this range will excite golfers during the cooler, wetter months of the year, making every day playable."
