(GREENVILLE, SC) – KENTWOOL- the world’s premier textile innovator and maker of premium, performance socks specifically engineered for golfers – announces that it will launch products in a range of new colors at the PGA Merchandise Show, booth #4683, Jan. 27-29 in Orlando, FL.
Worn in competition by Bubba Watson and made exclusively in the USA, the KENTWOOL line will be expanded to include lime green, light blue and purple for women, along with navy blue, khaki and charcoal for men. These introductions follow the company’s successful pink sock line benefitting the Breast Cancer Research Association.
“The response from our green grass partners and golfers worldwide has been unbelievable since our first PGA Show in 2010, and some of the biggest demand has been for colors that really stand out,” says Mark Kent, President and CEO of KENTWOOL. “The market is really recognizing the comfort and performance benefits that come with investing in a great pair of socks that will last for years, not just a season or less.”
Crafted using “WINDspun” air-infused technology and a proprietary blend of fine merino wool and high-tech fibers, KENTWOOL Golf Socks create an innovative, micro-climate system for superior moisture management, wicking and odor control. Each pair features enhanced cushioning at strategic micro-stress points along the foot to maximize comfort, increase energy levels, reduce the risk of injury and boost on-course performance.
Available at select green-grass locations and www.kentwool.com/shop, KENTWOOL Golf Socks are backed by a “blister-free guarantee.” Retailing for $19.95 to $24.95, styles include the Low Profile Skinny, Low Profile and Tour Profile for women, as well as Low Profile, Tour Profile and longer Tour Standard for men.
In addition to Watson, KENTWOOL premium performance golf socks are worn in competition by many Tour players, including Jonathan Byrd, Brendon de Jonge, Jane Park, Charles Warren, Kevin Johnson, Kristy McPherson, Sarah Kemp and Jenny Gleason.
