Sun Mountain H2NO Lite waterproof golf bag review by the UK’s Golf A Lot

Jamie Kennedy of GolfALot.com wrote a quite thorough review of the Sun Mountain H2NO Lite waterproof golf bag.

In his review Jamie said, “In foreign climates rain can be harsh and short lived, however in the UK it is typically more gentle and longer lasting. I often find myself starting, playing and finishing a round in the rain. Being able to keep your clubs, your gear and your valuables dry on days like that is a nice luxury to have. Just ask anyone who has tried to pay for a 19th hole drink, wearing a rain-soaked sweater, with a soggy £10 note!” [Read more…]

U.S. Presidents Cup Team wears Sun Mountain Outerwear to Victory

by

Congratulations to the 2011 U.S. Presidents Cup Team on its 19 – 15 victory over a very talented International Team. We are proud that we were part of the effort as the Official Outerwear provider to the U.S. Team.

The weather in Melbourne, Australia for the 2011 Presidents Cup lived up to its reputation, ranging from windy and 70s, to sunny and upper 90s, to rainy and 50s all in the course of four days.

With full knowledge of the unpredictable nature of the weather, we equipped the U.S. squad with a lot of options to include Sun Mountain rain gear and wind wear in both short and long sleeves. In addition to the players, we also provided rain and wind gear for caddies, tournament officials and players’ significant others.

Sun Mountain rain gear was out in force on Saturday when temperatures dipped into the 50s and rain showers were the order of the day. Sunday started out brisk and saw most of the caddies and some of the players wearing Sun Mountain wind wear.

So, congrats Team USA and thanks Captain Fred Couples for once again selecting Sun Mountain to design your team’s golf outerwear.

Sun Mountain Rain Gear Chosen for the U.S. Presidents Cup Team

by

We are proud to announce that in 2009 and now again for 2011, Sun Mountain has been chosen as the official outerwear provider for The Presidents Cup United States Team.

We spent a lot of time over the past year looking specifically at solutions to the weather protection needs of tournament golfers (and how that differs from the needs of the everyday, casual golfer). The resulting solution for The Presidents Cup is custom-designed rain gear constructed from an advanced, new four-way stretch woven fabric.

The Presidents Cup 2011 team rain wear will include long and short sleeve rain jackets and rain pants that offer protection from wind and rain while being breathable and offering enough stretch to meet the flexibility needed for a golf swing. In addition to Sun Mountain rain suits, The Presidents Cup 2011 United States team will have [Read more…]
