Abacus Spring/Summer 2014 Technical Rainwear Garments

Swedish technical clothing brand, Abacus Sportswear, have announced further additions to it's Spring/Summer 2014 collection revealing new additions to the rainwear range.

Rainwear remains a key aspect of the new SS14 range, combining style, simplicity, authentic Swedish design and functionality, which encapsulates the unique abacus® brand ethos. Bright colours and bold patterns make for a 1950s inspired range with a modern edge.

The Walton Rain Jacket is a new addition to the SS14 Collection. Containing a lightweight mesh lining useful for both on and off the golf course.

The Walton Rain Jacket gives added elasticity facilitating easier movement, freedom of motion and comfort. Abacus Sportswear can measure how much a garment delivers freedom of motion or Coefficient of Stretch (CoS). The Walton Rain Jacket has been measured at CoS 2.33 – nearly two and a half times its original size.

A garment’s ability to keep you dry is measured in Water Pillar (WP). The Walton Jacket has a 15,000 WP meaning it will keep out even the heaviest of rainfall. The garment also scores impressively in the Moisture Vapour Pillar (MVP) test, measuring in at a highly breathable 15,000 MVP.

Another feature of the Walton Rain Jacket is the waterproof sealed seams which are sewn and then sealed with a heat activated tape, making the garment 100% waterproof.

Colours available are Red, Navy, Black and Cobalt for Men, and Lipstick, Red, Navy and Black for Women.

Chris Mattson, Designer at Abacus Sportswear said: “Rainwear, and in particular the Walton Jacket, is a essential part of The Abacus S/S14 collection. We aim to put our customers first, with functionality and freedom of motion our main priority. The subtly styled Walton Rain Jacket, available for both Men and Women, does exactly that, by protecting the wearer from all the elements.”
