In glove category of Golf Digest’s equipment roundup, Wilson Staff ranks at the top
CHICAGO, March. 15, 2010 – Wilson Staff accepted a 2010 Golf Digest magazine Hot List gold medal award for its industry-leading Conform golf glove. The Conform marks one of several new designs from Wilson Staff in 2010, tailored for specific player types featuring state-of-the-art technology to improve grip, fit, moisture control and overall comfort.
“Golfers require specific design functions for all of their golf equipment and gloves are no exception,” said Jean-Pierre Degembe, global business director of Asia and soft goods for Wilson Golf. “We have drawn on the latest in fabric technologies and designs to offer improved fit and styles of gloves required by golfers at every skill level.”
The award-winning Conform glove was meticulously designed to offer golfers superior comfort and performance. It is made from premium Abyssinian cabretta leather through the Tack Teck™ tanning process, and it offers anti-microbial performance mesh that dissipates heat and moisture enhancing grip and comfort. The glove features new I-Pure technology in the wrist band with negative irons which increases body performance as well as 3M Scotchguard leather protection for softness round after round. MSRP of the Wilson Staff Conform glove is $19.99.
