I have only a few Lindeburg pieces. Those I have I bought on sale to try out.
I can't say that I like the trousers as the zipper down the side is a pain in the neck. If you typically have your trousers tailored, even just hemmed the zipper makes that a much more complicated job yet the trousers are not in my opinion of a quality that would suggest the effort makes sense. So unless their stock size fits you to a tee you are stuck.
I had not worn the two shirts I have to play until today. One is an XL and the other is an XXL. I am really pretty big in the shoulders so the XXL is a much better fit for me and that is the shirt I was wearing today. Today was a very warm day with the humidity rising during the day. When I put the shirt on it fit fine. As the humidity rose and I began to perspire, the shirt literally began to shrink around me and it would not stop! Initially I could still move the sleeves up a little and get some relief but over time the sleeve hems got tighter and tighter and I could not move them anywhere and they were almost cutting off circulation. I don't think it was shrinking permanently. However it got to the point where I just could not move at all. I was incredibly uncomfortable, so much so that if I had a spare shirt I would have changed immediately. I was almost to the point of just ripping the thing open at the sleeves I was so uncomfortable. If I would not have looked like a total bum on the course I would have done it. In fact if the pro shop was nearby I would have bought a shirt regardless of the fact that I hate paying pro shop prices for apparel. To be honest it just ruined the day because I was so uncomfortable and I could not tell if the darned thing was going to just keep getting smaller and smaller until it choked the life out of me.
I should have kept the thing on when I got in the car just to see if it would have started to go back to size as I cooled down but I just could not stand to have the thing on for another minute.
None of the Sligo or Poulter shirts I have do that. The Addidas shirts I have are excellent in the heat. In fact their shorts and trousers are also excellent in the heat.
I know some of you have expressed some dissatisfaction with the Lindeburg brand and I also noticed that some of you that have expressed that are from the south where heat is a real big deal. Have some of you also had this happen as well and has that fueled some of your dissatisfaction?
At the least common denominator this is all performance apparel. It seems to me that style considerations aside if it does not do that much it is not worth very much. I have had some regular shirts do something like this under duress but nothing from the performance apparel end of the market.
