Eyre™ Performance Fabric System

Eyre™ is our proprietary fabric platform designed to deliver breathable protection without compromising comfort or mobility. Named after Eyre Square in Galway (pronounced like "air"), it reflects our core philosophy:

"Protection should never come at the expense of breathability."
The Eyre™ system delivers:
  • Waterproof protection across varying intensity levels
  • Breathable comfort tailored to activity demands
  • Stretch & mobility optimized for the golf swing
  • Reliable performance in unpredictable conditions

Built for Breathable Protection

Our waterproof fabrics use advanced laminated construction, combining multiple performance layers into a single system.

Outer Layer — Weather Defense

Durable face fabrics protect against rain, wind, and abrasion while maintaining flexibility and quiet performance.

Middle Layer — Waterproof Membrane

Blocks rain while allowing moisture vapor to escape, keeping you dry inside and out.
