Uniqlo Golf

When it comes to fashion on the course, there are three categories, loud! couldn't care less and classy.

This is 2 time major winner, John Daly, well known for his loud! fashion sense (amongst other things)

Then there's 2013 Masters Champion, Adam Scott. It wasn't until the Masters in 2013 that I realized Adam Scott was signed on as Uniqlo's to brand ambassador. 

They couldn't have picked a better individual. He's talented and is always immaculately dressed on the course. Check out the Adam Scott range here.

I have always liked Uniqlo. From t-shirts to formal wear, they have clothing for kids, adults, male and female that feature modern and comfortable designs at affordable prices.

I was liking the polo shorts and pants that Adam Scott had been hearing and so set out to find them which was surprisingly difficult. I checked Uniqlo stores in Kl, Singapore and even Thailand and had no luck. For some reason that particular store did not carry that range of clothing.  

During my last trip to K.L in December, I checked out the Uniqlo store at the KLCC mall and was stoked to see the Dry-Ex polo shirts in stock, at a promo price of RM49.90 (RRP RM79.90) too! Pity though they didn't carry the Men Dry Stretch Pants. (why don't you have these in all your stores Uniqlo?!)

There are a number of colours / designs available and needless to say I bought a couple. They were a steal at that price to be honest. Only difference with the ones Adam Scott wears is that there isn't a Uniqlo badge on the left chest.

Uniqlo describe the Dry Ex Polo shirt as such :

"This high-tech men's polo is made with our revolutionary new DRY-EX material, so it dries sweat amazingly quickly to keep you feeling smooth, dry, and comfortable."

But how would they perform in our hot and humid weather? The last thing I wanted was to be sweat soaked the entire  round. It's icky and uncomfortable.

I was liking it from the start. Nice design and cutting made it very comfortable to wear. The material was smooth and light and I had no trouble moving around. 

To quote Adam Scott from an interview, "It's admirable how they're able to produce such high-quality clothing at such an affordable price."

It was a very hot and sunny Saturday morning that day, so it was perfect conditions for testing. 

You know what? They weren't kidding when they said it dries sweat amazingly quickly. Although I was sweating, it stayed generally dry and light throughout and I was pretty impressed. 

If you're wondering why I am raving / reviewing a shirt, try playing in a sweat soaked shirt and you will know why it's important.

Uniqlo has sinced opened up two stores here in Kuching. (Not sure if they carry this range and I would be very surprised if they did) But if you're in Malaysia and there isn't a Uniqlo near you? Shop at the online store here. 

Delivery is free for purchases over RM150.00 and I recently purchased a pair of their Dry Stretch Pants for RM120.00 (RRP RM149.90) during the boxing day sale. Very comfy as well. 

Don't get me wrong, there are other brands out there that are just as good and just as nice but you would be hard pressed to find a better shirt for less then RM100.00.

So while you may not play like Adam Scott, you can at least dress like him now.
