RainFlex is Remarkable

When you try on the RainFlex outerwear from Sun Mountain, it feels like nothing you’ve ever felt before for a very good reason. There has never been anything like it before! As the name suggests, RainFlex is a virtually silent, flexible fabric that stretches with the golfer’s movements—stretching 100% across the shoulders where the typical woven rain jacket might stretch 25%. RainFlex is constructed from a knit fabric consisting of intertwining thread in a series of connected loops.

Sun Mountain founder Rick Reimers provides this analogy, “Imagine RainFlex is a sock and existing rainwear is a piece of paper. The paper is woven and thus rigid and stiff and does not stretch noticeably, and any movement produces noise. The sock is knit, so it stretches easily and does so in virtual silence. Woven fabrics are necessary and indispensable, just not as golf rainwear.”

Further, Sun Mountain has identified a lightweight, flexible, extremely breathable waterproof membrane that is applied to the inside of the RainFlex fabric. Reimers describes it like this, “Imagine other waterproof materials as being tape, and the membrane we use on RainFlex as being only the adhesive on the tape.”

Play dry, warm and comfortable this winter. RainFlex is offered in a number of styles to take advantage of the fabric’s all-weather usefulness. For a retailer in your area, call 800- 227-9224 or visit www.sunmountain.com.
