Adidas is one of the most respected brands in athletic equipment. Because a true golfer needs more than a set of clubs, adidas provides accessories which include apparel, golf bags, and shoes. Since its foundation in 1949, adidas has been a pioneer in apparel technology. In 2002 adidas introduced ClimaCool, a patented material that wicks away moisture with 360 degree ventilation. This material is now featured in adidas golf clothing and golf shoes. Adidas continues to make innovative products that appeal to all golfers.
