Sun Mountain once again proved to be the innovator of the golf bag market with the introduction of the first waterproof golf bag.
 
Sun Mountain’s most popular bag in Europe and included in Golf Digest’s Hot List – the Sun Mountain H2NO collection of waterproof bags includes cart bags and carry bags, all constructed with waterproof fabric, taped seams, and waterproof zippers.
 

 

The H2NO carry bags feature a dual strap system for a balanced carry across both shoulders, integrated handles for ease in picking up and setting down, a top-molded stand attachment for stability, patented Roller-Bottom stand mechanism for easy leg activation, and for those rounds that you ride, H2NO stand bags feature leg lock straps and a cart-friendly bottom that will fit into a cart’s bag well.
 
H2NO carry bags feature ample storage space to include a full-length clothing pocket, a velour-lined valuables pocket and waterproof accessories pockets.

Most Breathable Golf Rain Gear

by

Sun Mountain’s most breathable rain suit, Cumulus, is fully seam-sealed and guaranteed waterproof.

 

Incorporating 2.5 layer technology, Cumulus has a woven shell laminated to a waterproof, breathable membrane, with a protective inner layer. This slick inner layer will be appreciated when taking the suit on and off as well as during the golf swing when it slides over clothing rather than catching and offering resistance to the swing.

 

In addition, a durable water repellent finish provides surface water and stain resistance.

 

Cumulus Jacket features include a pleated back which allows an expanded range of motion, a two-way front zipper that lies flat and out of the way when putting, adjustable hem and cuffs, zippered hand warmer pockets, and a stand up collar.

 

Cumulus rain pants offer the same ultra-lightweight, 2.5 layer, guaranteed waterproof and breathable construction along with a partial elastic waist and zipper fly, zippered hand warmer pockets and wallet pockets, deep lower leg zippers, and a snap system that allows length to be shortened by 2.5”.

 

The compact folded size of the Cumulus provides for easy storage in your golf bag.

 

This unbelievably lightweight and breathable rain suit comes with a two-year waterproof guarantee.

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.
