Sun Mountain’s RainFlex® outerwear is lightweight, stretchable, breathable and weatherproof. Thanks to the knitting process used to produce RainFlex, the garment stretches 100% across the shoulders and diagonally and is comfortable and quiet, moving with no resistance. Most rainwear is woven nylon with almost zero stretch and is stiff and noisy.
The 2009 RainFlex line includes RainFlex HD with traditional styling and heavy-duty performance as well as RainFlex in full-zip jacket, half-zip pullover, short-sleeve pullover, and pants. The women’s line includes full-zip jacket, half-zip pullover, full-zip short-sleeve, and pants. All RainFlex styles come with a two-year waterproof guarantee. Full-suggested retail prices range from $145 for the short-sleeve pullover to $210 for the HD full-zip jacket.
New construction enhancements include locking zipper pulls to keep zippers in place and quiet, tabbed cuffs for quick and easy adjustments for optimal fit, waterproof zippers that are protective and less bulky than traditional storm flaps, and shock cords to maintain a comfortable fit out of the way of your swing.
The Presidents Cup, a team match play competition featuring 24 of the world’s top golfers — 12 from the United States and 12 from around the world, excluding Europe — is held every two years, and has alternated between United States and international venues since 1996. The Presidents Cup was developed to give the world’s best non-European players an opportunity to compete in international team match-play competition. The Presidents Cup 2009 will be held October 6 – 11 at the Harding Park Golf Course inSan Francisco, pitting the U.S. Team led by Fred Couples against the International Team captained by Greg Norman.

Sun Mountain is responsible for many industry firsts, including being the first to use backpacking technology to produce a lightweight nylon golf bag, and being the first to develop a stand bag with integral legs. The Sun Mountain Speed Cart® and the new ClubGlider® travel bag are leaders in their respective categories.
