New Bedford, MA, April 26, 2006 . . . Ahead, a leader in branded headwear and apparel, has just introduced a new high performance rain jacket and pants under the ACARE Weather umbrella. The lightweight rain jacket and pants are 100% waterproof, extremely breathable, soft and quiet. The new rain suit is part of the new Ahead ACARE Weather System: lightweight high performance fabrics designed to keep golfers warm and dry in any climate.

"The rain suit is one of the most important pieces of equipment in the serious golfer’s bag," stated Bill Godden, director of apparel, Ahead. "When we designed the rain suit our objective was to keep players like Retief Goosen dry and comfortable in all types of inclement weather. We used lightweight, waterproof breathable stretch fabrics with unique details such as storm sleeve inserts, waterproof zippers and pockets, and inside leg scams making it easy to move around in while keeping the golfer completely dry."

The new waterproof, seam-sealed, fully zipped rain jacket with a storm flap is designed with the latest fabric advancements in hydrophilic technology. The jacket also features waterproof stretch shoulder inserts for easy movement throughout the swing. The adjustable Velcro® and elastic cuffs feature storm sleeve inserts to keep arms dry. The waterproof protected inside zipper pocket allows golfers easy access to scorecard and glove. The storm collar is designed to keep water off the back and neck. The rain jacket is available in two colors, cadet and dark navy, and sizes Small through XX-large. Suggested Retail for the rain jacket is $110.00.

The waterproof seam-sealed pants are also made of 100% rain-proof fabric with waterproof zippers and protected front pockets. The half-elastic waistband gives a comfortable fit. The pants also feature inside leg scams, making it easy to take on and off. The rain pants are available in dark navy in sizes Small through XX-Large for a suggested retail of $90.00.

The rain jacket and pants are backed by a one-year waterproof guarantee.
