PING Launches SS19 Men’s Performance Apparel Collection
Words: Golf Punk
PING has unveiled details of its new performance driven 2019 Spring/Summer men’s apparel range, which takes its inspiration from the company’s heritage in Arizona, USA, and for the first time features innovative Sensor Cool Cotton, engineered with COOLMAX® fabric, to deliver enhanced comfort and feel.
Strengthening the brand’s commitment to helping golfers look and play their best, the latest collection has been designed and engineered to combine premium performance fabrics, with the meticulous attention to detail that is synonymous with the brand.
Inspired by the rich colours and natural landscape of Sedona, Arizona, the collection features a ‘Sedona Sunrise’ theme, which encapsulates the natural gradients found in the desert state and provides a visual connection to the PING brand and its longstanding heritage.
The direction of the collection’s polo shirts is showcased by the Karsten III and Raymond, both of which feature the innovative Sensor Cool Cotton, which is blended with technologically advanced COOLMAX® fabric, to deliver the exceptional softness and comfort expected from a cotton-based polo.
Lasting performance is guaranteed in the Karsten III and Raymond, as COOLMAX® fibres move moisture away from the body, keeping the skin temperature low and enabling the wearer to feel cooler and more comfortable during the round. Stretch properties combine with a modern fit and considered detailing throughout, to deliver soft-touch, cotton performance polo shirts, which can be worn on and off the course.
Bringing further performance-based designs to the SS19 collection are the visually striking Gradient and Ridge polos, which are engineered with Sensor Cool technology. Both polos incorporate a yarn-dyed fabric and deliver performance-driven properties, such as quick-drying and stretch, that are found in all PING garments featuring this acclaimed proprietary technology.
Complementing the new Spring/Summer polo collection is the Herman and Fracture performance mid-layers, two garments that deliver year-round usability.
Knitted in a performance blend for softness and durability, the Herman mid-layer combines classic styling with a modern fit. This versatile and functional layering piece is styled with a quarter-zip neck, metal-look zip puller and raised metallic branding to the sleeve.
Perfect for the cooler Spring and Summer day and evenings on the course, the ultra-lightweight Fracture mid-layer has been designed with a visually appealing, yarn-dyed gradient effect, offering a new-look piece that also benefits from moisture-moving and stretch qualities.
Completing the collection is the Players Pant, a new, five-pocket performance trouser, designed with a slim-fit leg. Engineered with four-way stretch throughout for complete freedom of movement, it surpasses the previous expectations of a golf-specific trouser, by offering the golfer optimum comfort and performance throughout the whole round and beyond.

The Sensor Platform
The Sensor platform from PING is an innovative technological system, designed to ensure that every garment worn is specifically engineered to respond to the body’s requirements and the demands of the game, whatever the conditions.
Sensor Cool – Engineered to be worn next to the skin, Sensor Cool technology, featuring moisture moving properties, draws excess perspiration from the skin. This will keep the golfer dry for the duration of a round and beyond, guaranteeing exceptional comfort levels in all conditions. Each Sensor Cool garment is crease resistant and formed from stretch fabrics that are designed to complement the athletic movements made during a golf swing.
Sensor Warm – Sensor Warm technology embodies a thermal layer, designed to trap warm air and maintain a preferable body temperature. This layer also works as a barrier to resist wind chill and the subsequent effect it can have on a swing. Sensor Warm garments are designed to minimise weight and distraction, through the use of breathable and stretch fabrics. Such qualities also enable the garments to work with the golfer’s body for optimum playability.
Sensor Dry – This technology provides the ultimate, long-lasting waterproof and windproof protection against all the elements. The garments incorporating Sensor Dry are air permeable and, therefore, truly breathable. The outerwear is specifically cut in lightweight and noiseless fabrics, to eradicate distractions often associated with weather protective garments, while the fabrics used hold stretch qualities intended to move with your body throughout the golf swing.
