Fabric Technology
To design the best apparel, you must first create the perfect fabric. Sporte Leisure has invested in fabric research and development for more than 20 years, producing a proprietary range of technical fabrics designed specifically for the performance demands of the Australian and New Zealand golf market.
Performance Fabrics
Dri-Sporte® — Our most popular performance fabric. A premium moisture-wicking microfibre with Advanced Moisture Wicking Technology®. UV-resistant and colour-fast through repeated washing. Used across the core polo range and the standard choice for pro shop retail and club uniform programs.
Dri-Sporte Stretch — All the performance of Dri-Sporte with four-way stretch engineered in. Designed for players who want moisture management and unrestricted movement through the full swing arc. Popular for polo and bottom garments, and a natural choice for ladies’ fits where compression comfort matters.
Sportec — A performance fabric that draws perspiration away from the body, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable across a full round. Suited to warmer playing conditions and high-activity wear.
Flex-Sporte — A natural cotton blended with performance-enhancing spandex. Provides the soft handle and breathability of cotton with the shape retention and movement of stretch fabric. A preferred choice for players who want a more natural feel without sacrificing fit through the round.
Mercerised Egyptian Cotton — 100% Egyptian cotton with a mercerised finish for superior softness, sheen, and drape. The premium natural fibre option in the range — used in high-specification polos suited to resort pro shops and executive gifting programs where handle and presentation set expectations.
Outerwear Fabrics
Wind-Tec — A lightweight performance outerwear fabric with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment. Showerproof, windproof, and breathable — the right balance for Australian courses where wind is a factor without the weight of heavier rainwear.
Soft-Tec — A softshell performance outerwear fabric with DWR treatment. Showerproof, windproof, moisture-wicking, and breathable. Provides a clean, contemporary silhouette suited to resort retail and corporate gifting programs where outerwear needs to look as good off the course as on it.
Sporte-Lite — A lightweight performance outerwear fabric with a 2-year waterproof guarantee. Designed for players who want weather protection without bulk — packs easily into a golf bag pocket.
Thermo-Tec — An insulation fabric designed for cooler conditions. Used in midlayer and fleece garments that trap body heat without the weight of a full jacket. Suited to southern Australian climates, New Zealand stockists, and early-morning winter rounds.
Knitwear — Garments crafted using yarns selected for comfort, style, and quality. A versatile option suited to cooler conditions and the 19th hole as much as the fairway.
Rainwear Fabrics
Extreme-Tec — Our premium rainwear fabric. Four-way stretch with high waterproof performance and a 4-year waterproof guarantee. The choice for serious players in the wettest conditions — seam-sealed, breathable, and built to last a full season in high-rainfall regions.
Storm-Tec — Two-way stretch with reliable waterproof performance and a 3-year guarantee. Combines mobility with weather protection at a price point suited to volume pro shop stocking.
Weather-Tec — An accessible performance rainwear fabric with a 1-year waterproof guarantee. Suited to clubs and pro shops looking for a practical, well-priced wet-weather option for occasional-use buyers.
