MISSOULA, Mont. -- Sun Mountain once again proves to be the innovator of
the golf bag market with the introduction of the first waterproof golf bag.
The new for 2007 Sun Mountain H2O Tech bag is constructed from waterproof
materials and the pockets are waterproof. The H2O Tech is ultralight, built
upon the same frame as Sun Mountain's popular Superlight 3.5, plus offers
waterproof protection for items stored in the pockets. H2O Tech will be
available February 2007 in solid black and solid goldenrod with a full
suggested retail price of $229.99. For the retailer nearest you, call
800-227-9224 or visit www.sunmountain.com. See H2O Tech at the PGA
Merchandise Show in booth #2435.
The waterproof pockets and rainhood on the H2O Tech use the same waterproof
construction as Sun Mountain's line of rainwear to include waterproof
fabric, taped seams, and YKK(r) waterproof zippers. The extra technology
required to make a bag waterproof will be much appreciated by golfers who
carry items like cigars, mobile phone and other electronics that are not
waterproof. Additionally, when used with the matching rainhood the H2O Tech
offers waterproof protection for the entire bag including the clubs.
H2O Tech features all of the innovations that make the Superlight 3.5 so
popular to include the new for 2007 built-in top collar handle that provides
a convenient spot to grab when removing the bag from the shoulder,
top-molded stand attachment for stability, patented Roller-Bottom stand
mechanism with recessed Y-Spring, improved X-Strap(r) Dual Strap for added
comfort, and five pockets to include a full length clothing pocket.
The new built-in top collar handle is part of H2O Tech's integrated
one-piece top that combines the top cuff, the built-in collar handle, and
the upper stand bracket. This six-way top with full-length dividers also
offers a higher strap attachment point that effectively moves the center of
gravity of the bag resulting in a more balanced bag for easier carrying.
"Superlight 3.5 was designed on the premise of 'sacrifice nothing but
weight'," explained Sun Mountain founder Rick Reimers. "We accomplished it!
And now with H2O Tech we have further perfected it."
In addition to golf bags, Sun Mountain Outerwear is dedicated to finding the
most innovative fabrics, the latest weaving processes, and the best designs
to manufacture a line of performance outerwear that includes rainsuits,
windshirts, microfiber and fleece garments and the RainFlex collection. The
Sun Mountain Speed Cart is the leader of the push cart market.
For over 20 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.
