Abacus Sportswear: Your new favourite golf apparel brand

Abacus Sportswear is a Swedish pioneer of high-performance, technical golf clothing that combines high quality with functional design to make sure you can put all your focus where it belongs – on your game.

It was founded 30 years ago by golf fanatic Sven-Olof Karlsson who had a vision to improve the golf apparel experience by creating a range of stylish, practical clothing that would be comfortable and work in all weather conditions.

Abacus quickly became known for its functional garments and smart details. Light, stretchy, breathable and waterproof are the main focus of the Abacus collection, features that provide maximum comfort on the golf course.

Here’s a quick look at the brand’s 2023 apparel line-up…

Options explained

Waterproofs: The Pitch jacket is incredibly lightweight and versatile, with an extremely high level of stretchability – essential in the golf swing – and a surprisingly small pack down-size, making it ideal for stowing in the golf bag.

Hybrid: As you might expect, this is the best of both worlds and combines materials on different parts of the garment to offer maximum protection against the cold and the wind. The Grove Hybrid has a seamless quilted windproof fabric that’s padded at the front and back. It’s a stretchable fleece for better movement.

Base layers: The key to a good base layer is the material that it’s made from. Only materials with high breathability and wicking properties should be next to the skin to ensure that heat and moisture are moved quickly away from the body, always keeping you comfortable. The amount a garment stretches is also important to make sure nothing gets in the way of your swing. Even the best technical outer layer will have minimal effect and its benefits will be lost if the base layer has poor wicking properties.

The Tech

The Pitch jacket features new groundbreaking 37.5 Technology which is the perfect temperature for comfort. The fabric essentially helps you warm up when cold and cool down when hot. It helps you maintain a comfortable personal microclimate relative humidity of 37.5%.

The Spin and Cypress base layers feature DryCool technology to move perspiration away from the body to the fabric’s outer surface where it can evaporate quickly, helping the wearer stay dry and comfortable when the temperature rises.

It is as effective in a polo shirt when worn under a warming layer as it is when worn under a protective outer layer.

They say

“We have dressed the European Solheim Cup team six times and have been a Ryder Cup licensee since 2010. Our clothing is also worn by staff and sold at legendary golf courses such as St Andrews Links and Gleneagles. As a pioneer of stretch fabrics in the golf apparel industry, our clothes are made with the active golfer in mind.”
