Tail Activewear Golf Review

It's hard to believe that a company that has been making high quality golf apparel for over 40 years can still consistently deliver new and innovative products with a fresh, eye-catching look. Tail Activewear has been at the forefront of women's active apparel and brings together performance and fashion with bold colors and designs that flatter a women's figure and at the same time adds a stylish and distinctive look on the golf course.

With Tail, a size 2 is a size 2 no matter what collection or piece you are looking at; whether it's a top or bottom. They pride themselves on size consistency and their fit is true to size. The fabrics they use are second to none and all are designed to offer effective skin protection. Most offer a UPF rating of 40+ or better.

Moisture-wicking is another one of Tail's strong suits; their fabrics tend to rank at the top of the spectrum in performance in this area. They wick moisture away from the body and will exceed your expectations for comfort and dryness.

One technical aspect of a fabric in the golf apparel industry is that it must be able to stretch with the player and not hinder their golf swing. A female golfer needs to be able to move freely through her swing with no pinching or binding and at the same time have her clothes retain their shape. Tail optimizes the comfort and stretch aspect in every fabric they use.

We had the opportunity to check out a couple of pieces from Tail's Mayfair Tango and Cosmic Allure Collections; here's our take on what we received.

The Nicolette Short Sleeve Top from the Mayfair Tango Collection is made from Tail's Performance Jersey material (91% polyester/9% Spandex). With a UPF rating over 40, you'll get great protection from the sun's harmful rays. Available in sizes XS-XXL and in Chelsea with red and black. Retail price is $83.00. The Nicolette Short Sleeve Top pairs well with Your favorite black skirt or shorts.

The Isabel Skort is also featured in Tail's Mayfair Tango Collection and is crafted from their Refined Twill Performance Fabric and has a modern fit. This skort features two front pockets cut on a slant, making them easier to access and one rear pocket with the Tail logo. The front middle section features a curved hem, giving it a scalloped look with 2" slits on either side so that your movement isn't impeded. There's also a hidden side zipper on the left side and undies sewn into the garment. The Isabel Skort offers a modern fit and is available in sizes 2-18. Retail price is $89.

Ladies, you're sure to find your Ken in the Barbie Celestial Blue Shorts from Tail's Cosmic Allure Collection. These pull on shorts feature jean pockets with rivets in the front and two rear pockets. They are made from Tail's premier Bi-Stretch Performance fabric (90% polyester/10% Spandex) which will never bind or pinch during your swing. They also carry a UPF rating of 40+, protecting you from the sun's harmful rays. They offer a modern fit with a 21" outseam. The Barbie Celestial Blue Shorts are available in sizes 2-18 and retail for $89.

The Fannie Sleeveless Voyage Print Top from the Cosmic Allure collection is crafted from Tail's Performance Jersey fabric (91% Polyester/9% Spandex). It features a mock neck and zippered placket. The Voyage print and dark base color adds a slimming look to this top which pairs well with Tail's Barbie Celestial Blue Shorts. Leave it untucked for a classic, sultry look. The Fannie Sleeveless Voyager Print Top is available in sizes XS-L and retails for $83.

Last Word: Tail is definitely at the forefront of women's fashion in the golf apparel industry. They continue to amaze with bright and bold colors and eye-popping designs. The fabric has a soft and luxurious feel and the technical characteristics and properties are everything they are advertised to be. Moisture is wicked away and evaporates quickly in the Florida sun and the fabric moves with you throughout the swing. Best of all, it returns to its original shape after washing.

Although she was gaga over every Tail garment we received, my wife recently picked the Barbie Celestial Blue Shorts as her favorite pair of shorts and believe me, this includes apparel from many companies. She says that she receives multiple compliments every time she wears them.
