PGA Partner: Abacus Sportswear

About the partnership

Founded more than 30 years ago, Abacus Sportswear is the Swedish pioneer of high-performance, technical golf clothing that combines high quality materials with ground-breaking technology.

Light, stretchy and breathable rainwear are the main focus of the abacus collection, features that provide maximum comfort on the golf course, perhaps even improving the score! And we win awards too, with the renowned Pitch waterproof jacket receiving Editors Choice two years in a row from leading equipment magazine – Today’s Golfer.

“As a brand, we are committed to designing quality and innovative products to help players play their best golf and the PGA Member is central to us achieving that aim. The golf course is hard enough, you don’t want to have to battle the weather too. Just like PGA Members, we care about performance and we are excited to be able to share more about our waterproof products with you through the 2025 season.”

Abacus School of Rain

Abacus is committed to helping PGA retailers to sell rainwear effectively and optimise revenue. We will share our expertise through The Abacus School of Rain, a handy and easy to understand step by step guide. Here's an overview.

5 Top Tips for golfers when choosing waterproofs:

Playability – if you can’t move you can’t play, so choosing lightweight garments with a high amount of stretch is essential.
Breathability – keeping dry on the outside is pointless if you are wet on the inside. Choose garments with a high level of breathability and excellent wicking properties.
Waterproofness – fabrics with a waterpillar of over 10.000 WP are best and will be able to withstand long periods of rain.
Comfort - avoid garments that feel uncomfortable or fit badly, use heavy fabrics, rustle when you move or do not have a high level of stretch.
Fit - garments that offer good options to adjust the fit, for example draw cords in the waist and velcro in the arms, legs and neck can make a garment feel like it has been made just for you.
