Under Armour announce new rainwear line in partnership with Gore-Tex

Under Armour have announced the introduction of the next generation in golf rainwear with the launch of the Gore-Tex Tips Jacket and Pant. 

The first 3-Layer Full-Stretch Gore-Tex rain suit will hit shops this Autumn heralding a new era in Golf Rainwear technology, Under Armour, a brand that has been built  of innovation, and Gore-Tex, the world’s most trusted waterproofing technology, have developed the most advanced rain suit in golf.

This has been achieved through two key design features found in both the UA Gore-Tex Tips Jacket and UA Gore-Tex Tips Pant:

• 3-layer bonded fabric delivering a durable, smooth outside and a soft, brushed interior, keeping the garment 100% waterproof but incredibly breathable.

The UA Gore-Tex Tips Pant, designed to fit like a regular trouser, also features a soft waistband for a comfortable fit, hip adjusters, secure side & back pockets, a working fly and 12 inch leg zips for increased breathability. 

On testing the suit, Under Armour ambassador and world number one golfer, Jordan Spieth, said: “Under Armour are constantly pushing the boundaries in what’s achievable in golf apparel to help make athletes better. The new Gore-Tex range is the most advanced waterproofing technology I’ve ever seen in golf and is sure to give me an edge over the competition.”
