Leakage And Rain Gear

Look, they should have had Gore-Tex no matter how wretched the company may be. But I got to thinking tonight in watching some of the action again: have you ever seen a rainsuit that had a bunch of stripes, lettering and other stitching? Why of course not because that might compromise the thing.

The clothing company defended itself in a statement: "Sun Mountain has been designing and selling outerwear for more than two decades. We have provided rainwear to over 150 tour players and numerous US teams. Sun Mountain has staff on the ground at the Ryder Cup working in conjunction with the PGA of America on this issue." Privately sources at the company claimed part of the trouble was the stitching specifically requested by the USA team which caused "significant leakage problems".
