Missoula, Montana – As the “Official Outerwear Provider for the U.S. Team of The Presidents Cup 2009”, Sun Mountain is proud to announce the final list of players who will be wearing its outerwear. Along with Captain Fred Couples and Assistant Captain Jay Haas, the 2009 Presidents Cup U.S. team of Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Steve Stricker, Kenny Perry, Zach Johnson, Stewart Cink, Sean O’Hair, Jim Furyk, Anthony Kim, Justin Leonard, Lucas Glover and Hunter Mahan will be ready for whatever Mother Nature dishes out outfitted in Sun Mountain’s RainFlex® line of outerwear at Harding Park Golf Course in San Francisco. For the RainFlex retailer nearest you call 800-227-9224 or visit www.sunmountain.com.
The Presidents Cup uniforms consist of a variety of Sun Mountain RainFlex styles to include full-zip jacket, long sleeve pullover, short sleeve pullover, vest and pants that will handle any weather situation. Caddies’ uniforms include a long sleeve pullover, short sleeve pullover and pants. Team players’ significant others, have a choice of a full-zip jacket, trench coat (designed exclusively for The Presidents Cup) and pants. All outerwear is in color combinations of red, white, and blue.
Sun Mountain’s RainFlex® outerwear is lightweight, stretchable, breathable and waterproof. 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 as opposed to most rainwear that is woven nylon with almost zero stretch and is stiff and noisy.
The 2010 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 a full-zip jacket 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 in San Francisco, pitting the U.S. Team led by Fred Couples against the International Team captained by Greg Norman.
In addition to outerwear, for over 25 years, Sun Mountain has been designing and manufacturing functional, high-quality, lightweight golf bags for the serious golfer. 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.
Sun Mountain is an officially licensed supplier of outerwear to the PGA TOUR , Champions Tour, Duramed Futures Tour, and Nationwide Tour.
