Designed to offer golfers of all levels the comfort and performance they crave, Opti-Series features employ advancements that infuse Callaway Apparel with an optimal balance of technology and design aesthetic.

Opti-Shield technology offers golfers a layer of UPF protection from the sun's harmful rays woven directly into the fabric. Opti-Stretch technology features interwoven layers of flexible fabrics, which provide unhindered range of motion, allowing golfers maximum comfort through the full range of their swing. Opti-Vent fabrics feature engineered ventilation to provide a garment with maximum breathability for optimized comfort in warmer weather. Opti-Genic antimicrobial treatment is a finish that reduces odor and maintains a garment's durability over time. Opti-Repel creates a barrier of protection from inclement weather that is resistant to both wind and water, and Opti-Therm fabrics provide golfers a thermal layer designed to help withstand cold in all elements.
Callaway Opti-Series is the result of coordinated research, planning and design efforts, drawing on years of experience as one of the leading brands in the sport of golf. The Callaway name is synonymous with excellence, performance and innovation, and the aim of the Opti-Series is to uphold that standard and continue its tradition of infusing golf apparel with progressive technologies and an uncompromising commitment to quality.
