EQUIPMENT NEWS

The brand, famous for its multiple awardwinning waterproofs, offers a full range of
clothing to suit all weathers which includes
UV sun protection shirts, base layers, mid
layers, wind proof fleeces and jackets and,
of course, exceptional rainwear.
One of the areas in which Sunderland
excels is mid-priced waterproofs which
are still guaranteed to give ultimate
performance and this season sees
the introduction of the superb new
‘Vancouver’ waterproofs for men.
With a RRP of just £95 for the jacket
and co-ordinating trousers for £65, the
Vancouver suit couples contemporary
styling with three-year guaranteed
water protection. The laminated fabric
technology makes for a jacket that is water
resistant, comfortable and breathable and
like its mid-range predecessor, the Classic,
it looks destined to be a firm Pro shop
favourite.
Sunderland's best-selling 'Resort' range
with zip-off sleeves has also been updated
and now includes seven colour choices
in full-zip jackets (RRP £140), while the
convertible half-zip weatherbeater (RRP
£110) boasts six options.

Lady golfers, meanwhile, will love the new
‘Bergen’ waterproofs, featuring the Slimgirl™ trim system (a clever use of piping to
give the illusion of a slimmer figure).
This fashionable new product (RRP £120)
delivers style and substance, with a host of
weather-beating features and functionality
in five gorgeous colour options. Coordinating trousers make this a superior
rain suit.
Sunderland will also build on the
incredible success of its hooded
'WhisperDry Hush' jackets with two
new colours for women (Firecracker and
Mineral Blue).
And younger golfers are not forgotten with
the new ‘Junior Resort’ (boys) and ‘Amalfi’
(girls) weatherbeaters, fully waterproof
half-zip jackets with a three-year guarantee
to suit ages 7-12. Co-ordinating trousers
are also available.
Elsewhere, the ongoing popularity of
Sunderland's lined sweaters sees the
launch of a model for lady golfers. The
'Calima' sits alongside the ‘Pampero’ and
‘Diablo’ men's models and all feature the
excellent BionicFinish shower repellent
system.
