With the weather beginning to turn colder as the fall season takes over from the summer heat, golf is still on in most parts of the country, but with an eye towards comfort as the elements start to take their toll.
 Protection from the weather becomes paramount with rain, wind and cold playing into the equation as much as birdies and bogeys.
Sunice®, the Canadian company that is the official outerwear of the PGA Tour, has added some new colors and styles for its fashion/ technical outerwear line that will not disappoint for the upcoming fall and winter season of 2112. An updated Ultimate V4 Gore-Tex rain and wind jacket in its Hurricane Collection represents the crème de la crème with a lifetime waterproof guarantee in Gore-Tex Performance Shell.
Ultra quiet with a soft-hand feel and the Pro-trim™ waist cinching system, this jacket also sports a full top back stretch panel for freedom of movement, Lycra action cuffs, adjustable bungee at the hem and a patented V collar with neoprene finish. Another nice touch is the in-pocket ball cleaner and the Sunice® lock-down zipper pullers. The X-Static lining also provides the technical benefits of actual silver fibers woven within the lining.
A completely new design is on tap for this line for 2012 with an array of new colors, including the brightly colored blue regatta with charcoal and white detailing, classic black and shadow and real red and black. A bright olive and charcoal color combination is also a very important new addition to the Sunice men’s outerwear line-up. These are jackets that are offered in both a both men’s and women’s line, and Sunice® has taken some cues from the women to design the official outerwear of the United States Solheim Cup Team that recently competed in Ireland.
A few other notable mentions from their newest collection include a completely new fabric story for the Typhoon, three-year waterproof guarantee category. Zephal was introduced in 2011 as a super lightweight waterproof fabric but has been upgraded for 2012 with the addition of full stretch. Embossed prints for men add an additional fashion statement along with vibrant colors for women with Bright White, French Blue, Petonia and Diva. Fun prints, color combinations, printed waterproof zippers and finishing details that act as jewellery to the garment add the sophisticated edge and femininity to the women’s collection.
Sunice®, founded in 1976 in Alberta, Canada as a skiwear brand, successfully transcended its technical outerwear capabilities into the golf market in the early 1990s as the golf industry gravitated towards designing sport-specific garments that truly helped enhance the game. Owned and run by Montreal, Canada-based Fletcher Leisure Group Inc., a company with 42 years of golf industry experience-- Sunice® golf rainwear is worn by many PGA and LPGA Tour players around the world.
