Renowned for their industry-leading autumn/winter performance apparel, PING further expands on a long-standing reputation for innovation, comfort and reliability with its new AW26 men’s apparel collection, delivering the brand’s most advanced blend of performance engineering and contemporary styling to date. Centred around premium weather protection, elevated comfort and a modern aesthetic, the new range strengthens PING’s reputation for apparel that performs in all conditions, while transitioning naturally into everyday wear.
Leading the collection is the all-new AquaDrive Pro Jacket, PING’s most technically advanced waterproof to date. Tested and validated by PING’s engineers at the PING Performance Research Centre at Loughborough University, the jacket achieves the highest levels of breathability (40,000 g/m) and waterproof protection (30,000mm) ever produced by the brand. Engineered with a three-layer ripstop waterproof fabric through the body and a three-layer stretch knitted fabric in key areas, it delivers exceptional protection without compromising freedom of movement. Refined detailing, including a two-way waterproof zip, clean-finish laser cut pockets and moulded cuff fastenings with bonded elastication, ensures comfort and precision across every element of the garment.
Completing the suit is the AquaDrive Pro Pant, which features the same advanced waterproof performance and stretch characteristics, forming a fully integrated wet-weather solution for golfers. PING’s AquaDrive series of waterproofs doesn’t stop there, with the introduction of the all-new AquaDrive Hooded Jacket, an ultra-lightweight, breathable waterproof with an adjustable hood for additional protection.
Further strengthening PING’s cold-weather offering, the renowned Norse collection expands with the introduction of the Norse 2.0 Cocoon Jacket and Vest. Both garments utilise a combination of PrimaLoft® ThermoPlume insulation and PrimaLoft Silver Active to achieve lightweight warmth, low bulk and reliable performance in winter conditions. The result is a versatile insulation system that delivers heat retention where needed, while maintaining breathable comfort across key areas, offering dependable protection throughout the colder months.
Completing the outerwear story are three new hybrid jackets – the Cassian, Jude and Ivan – designed to serve golfers in transitional and variable weather. All styles feature Sorona® Aura insulation for lightweight, breathable warmth, combined with stretch fleece panelling to ensure unrestricted movement.
The Cassian is a great choice for golfers seeking insulated warmth that delivers in playability, thanks to its stretch fleece under arm panels and side body panels that offer flexibility. The Jude hybrid jacket blends lifestyle design with on-course performance, with its soft-shell outer fabric, designed for stretch, water and wind resistance – perfect for repelling winter conditions. The Ivan hybrid fleece jacket provides stretch with added warmth, from its insulated front panel, whilst offering a clean, classic design.
Reflecting a move toward relaxed, contemporary off-course style, PING also expands its mid-layer line-up with the new Saul hooded fleece and Freddie crew neck, both designed in a relaxed silhouette to blend performance functionality with a contemporary, lifestyle-ready feel. The Saul provides SensorWarm® protection in a brushed, stretch fabric that offers all-day comfort, whilst the Freddie is engineered in a SensorCool® spacer fabric, offering an incredibly soft-touch feel.
These sit alongside an updated premium knitwear offering, including the Barnaby, Hugh and Gabriel, each benefitting from PING’s SensorWarm® technology with a blend of Merino Wool for added refinement, wind resistance and overall comfort in cooler conditions.
The polo range also evolves with the introduction of the Demitri, a timeless long-sleeve polo with a premium soft-touch feel, and the Gilmore, which features two new SensorCool® prints designed for early-season wear (both available at retail in July). Complementing the expanded apparel line are new winter accessories, including the Holland cable-knit bobble hat and Quintin fleece-lined knit hat, both designed to coordinate head-to-toe looks, reinforcing the breadth of this AW26 collection.
Unifying the entire range are four new colour stories: Woodlands, a rich and earthy palette inspired by the natural landscape; Endure, a timeless balance of heritage tones and modern versatility; Restore, a selection of contemporary blues designed for seamless lifestyle crossover; and Empowered Play, a dynamic grouping of bold, sporty blue hues that offer standout visual impact.
Designed with versatility and performance at the forefront, the AW26 apparel collection highlights PING’s commitment to engineering garments that support golfers in every environment, while remaining stylish and adaptable for life beyond the course.
