Introduction
Review by [Full Name] - [Xxxxxxx Golf Club]
Please introduce yourself and let the reader know what you have been sent to test.
Example: My name is Louise Campbell, and I play golf in Scotland. I was sent the Abacus Ladies Gleneagles Thermo Midlayer top in peacock blue, size medium, to test. It comes in two colours (blue and stone) sizes XS-XXL and is priced at $125 (£100).
Initial Thoughts
Please give your first impressions of the product upon opening.
Example: The top looks and feels very soft, sleek, and smooth. Having been to the Gleneagles course the colour of the top matches the autumn / spring landscape you would see there. The qualities of the “drycool” fabric are wicking (so drawing moisture off by capillary action), breathability and stretchable. First impressions are “I want to wear this!” I feel I can swing a club with ease and the full length zipper has a protected top at the neck for comfort and no skin irritation. It has 2 roomy deep horizontal pockets for tees (which won’t fall out) and keeping my hands warm between shots. A special feature is the light padding at the upper chest / shoulder. This will be ideal support for me when I play with a half set of clubs in a carry bag, with the extra padding under the shoulder strap. It will also provide extra warmth. The sleeves and pockets have the same neat navy cuff.
The Test
Give us a brief insight into how you tested the product, including how many rounds, the conditions you played in etc.
Example: I wore the top on a Spring day as a mid-layer. Initially I needed a wind/waterproof jacket on top and I had a light tee shirt underneath. The conditions were cool, but sunny and a light wind with possible rain forecast.
The Verdict
Please include a paragraph or two on your thoughts of the products and then briefly list the pros and cons of the product/s. Think about quality, sizing, price, value for money and whether you would recommend the product to fellow golfers.
In particular, we are keen to know your thoughts on the comfort levels, the quality of the fabrics used, and the versatility to wear with other golf clothes.
Example: The top lived up to expectation. It provided a second layer that was easy to put on and take off. It gave warmth without sacrificing freedom of movement and did not feel “bulky”. Once I warmed up, I was able to discard my outer jacket and swing more easily in the mid-layer. It was admired by my playing partners for looks and feel.
Would I recommend it? Yes/ No/ Maybe
