Meet the Sun Mountain Golf Windshirt Collection

by

The Sun Mountain Headwind golf windshirt blocks wind and is so lightweight you might even forget you’re wearing it. With a water-repellent coating, this windshirt doesn’t just protect from wind but also a light shower.

The Headwind collection includes men’s full-zip, long sleeve golf jacket and half-zip, short sleeve pullover. For increased freedom of movement the Headwind golf jacket has stretchable, breathable inserts across the back. Headwind is ideal to pair with a thermal layer on cold blustery days or by itself on warmer days.

Looking for a softer feel? The Brushed Solo Golf Windshirt is a throwback to one of Sun Mountain’s original single-layer windshirts. It’s made with a peached polyester fabric with a silky inner finish to glide over your polo. The roomy cut allows for easy on and off and freedom of movement.

If you prefer the look and feel of a sweater, the Sun Mountain Crosswind is a windproof golf sweater to keep your core warm. The fine gauge cotton-merino blend gives the Crosswind a luxurious feel and refined look while the stretch liner and lightweight knit combine to make this piece playable.

Finally, check out the Weathershield Jacket offering the perfect lifestyle piece for a cool, rainy morning, a blustery afternoon or dinner out. The 3-layer construction bonds a stretchable polyester shell to a warm fleece liner and sandwiches a waterproof, breathable membrane in between.

All Sun Mountain women’s golf bags are shorter than the men’s bags to better accommodate the length of women’s clubs.

Styles and colors abound within the women’s golf bag lines to include solids as well as patterns such as twill, diamonds, zebra and more.

You really need to see these women’s golf bags to fully appreciate the patterns that go with the varying color combinations.

 

All Sun Mountain bags include full-length club dividers, lift-assist handles, velour-lined valuables pockets, full-length clothing pockets, and Sun Mountain’s impeccable attention to detail.

And, with Sun Mountain’s proprietary cart-friendly bottoms, even the carry bags work well as golf cart bags.

Plugged-In Golf H2NO Review

by

The folks at Plugged-In Golf conducted a VERY thorough test of the Sun Mountain H2NO waterproof golf bag.

Sun-Mountain-H2No-5

(We do not suggest you try this at home. These are trained professionals on a closed track.)

And we passed …. with flying colors!

The review covers ‘style’, ‘quality’, and ‘design & performance’ and concludes with a video of a waterproof test no golf bag should have to live through. I mean, come on, do you know how much more fine and how much more pressure is behind a hose from 12” than from a rain storm? This test is like running the bag through a hurricane. And then he dumps the whole bag in a pool! We did not design the H2NO to withstand a temper-induced throw into the water hazard. But, alas, the bag passed the test. Whew! [Read more…]

WRX ClubGlider

by

wrx clubgliderwrx logoRonald Montesano from Golf WRX took our ClubGlider Meridian golf travel bag for a trial run and rated it 4.7 out of 5 for a score of “Fantastic”.

Here’s a summary of what he had to say:

Pros: Sun Mountain’s ClubGlider Meridian is the only golf travel bag that comes equipped with four wheels — one pair with retractable legs — that hold 100 percent of the weight. That provides stability and convenience while transporting clubs through airports, hotels and parking lots.

Cons: With an MSRP of $289, it resides in the higher price range of travel bags.

Bottom Line: The ClubGlider travel bag from Sun Mountain makes traveling easier with a set of added wheels and retractable legs, keeps clubs safe with thick foam padding on the interior and protects against wear with reinforced vinyl on the bottom of the bag. There’s plenty of value here.

For 2014, ClubGlider golf travel bags are available in four different models – Pro, Meridian, Journey and the new Tour Series – offering protection for golfers ranging from weekend warriors to touring professionals. Retail prices are $349, $289, $219, and $319 respectively.
