adidas Spring 2018 Apparel and Footwear for Women

adidas presence on the LPGA Tour and its quest to become the leading manufacturer of golf apparel for ladies continues to grow. And, with brand ambassadors the likes of Natalie Gulbis and Paula Creamer, that growth is likely to continue. But the "proof is in the pudding" as they say and adidas is definitely up to the task.

Their Printed Bermuda Shorts are sewn from a lightweight stretch fabric that offers full range of motion, and the regular fit falls somewhere between loose and snug. The waist has a good deal of stretch in it, something ladies seem to be looking for these days, especially in their golf apparel, and the belt loops are large enough for your favorite accessory. Slip-in front pockets and back welt pockets are large and keep all your valuables safe and secure. An adidas Badge of Sport metal tab above back pocket identifies the brand and the print is bold enough to get you some looks. These Printed Bermuda Shorts are available in sizes 0 - 16 and in a Black/Grey or White/Grey print. Retail price is $70. https://www.adidas.com/us/printed-bermuda-shorts/CY4718.html

The Women's Ultimate365 Polo from adidas is as popular with the gals as it is with the guys and ladies have the option of a sleeveless style. The Ultimate365 Sleeveless Polo is sewn from the same 93% polyester/7% elastane single jersey fabric as the men's collection and has superior moisture-wicking and anti-microbial properties, keeping you dry and odor free throughout your round. The lightweight 4-way stretch fabric moves with you through your golf swing and is perfect during any season thanks to the UPF 50+ UV finish. This sleeveless polo features a self-collar and 4-button placket and the edge-stitching gives this garment added durability. It's a regular fit in the body with a straight silhouette.

It's made from 100% Pima cotton and provides a soft, luxurious feel and the heathered raglan sleeves add a touch of style.

Both the front and back pockets are easily accessed and provide plenty of room for you on-course essentials. The Red/Orange allover print will have players doing a double take and asking about the brand.
