NEW BEDFORD, Mass., June 4, 2007 – Have you ever teed off on a cool sunny day, and then the sky suddenly opens up and now you are caught in the rain without a jacket? This is the inspiration behind the new AHEAD ACARE Convertible Vest, which is a must for every golfer’s bag. With a simple unzip, the vest converts into a waterproof jacket in seconds.
The ACARE Convertible Vest is made out of 95% polyester and 5% spandex with a four-way stretch for more flexibility during the swing. The vest features a two-way full zipper with locking zipper pull and on-seam zippered pockets, the breathable, lightweight seam-sealed hooded waterproof jacket shell stores in the bottom of the vest and drops down in seconds.
"This vest is great to wear to the course or to keep in your bag for that unpredictable weather during the round," stated Jeff Waller, national sales director, AHEAD. "The vest and jacket are fashionable and functionable, quiet and unrestricted when swinging. Golfers should consider this a must piece of equipment for their bag."
The Convertible Vest comes in two color combinations, rope gray with graphite color blocking and graphite with onyx color blocking. Available July 15, 2007, the suggested retail for the Convertible Vest is $110.00.
