Does anyone currently make high quality Made in USA rain gear?   I contacted Zero Restriction recently and they say everything they make is now imported.

While value is always of great concern, my first priority is quality and not about money.    I'm willing to pay top dollar for high quality USA apparel,   but not $300-400 for a Communist Chinese golf jacket that sold for less when it was made in the USA.    These thieving globalist CEOs have forgotten about patriotism when their first priority is unbridled greed.

You can whine all you want about it not being made in the USA, but Nike and Footjoy make by far some of the BEST outerwear on the market, if you really can't stand that they are made in china, vietnam, indonesia...etc, then you're going to have to buy something from dickies and buy a can of waterproofing spray and hope for the best.  They may not be paid as nearly much as an American worker, but you'd be surprised of the quality. Stick to Nike, Adidas, or Footjoy.

Either way, Don't feed the troll.

And you can't go wrong with Zero Restriction.  All my rain gear is ZR, both golf and causal, IMHO they have the best rain wear available.

Thanks all for taking the time to reply to my question.

Money is no object (within some reason) in my quest for high quality and USA made golf wear.  Zero Restriction must have been USA made until fairly recently.   I have some of their windbreakers and rain gloves and all say USA. I never minded paying a high price for them because of two reasons...it was high quality and the money was recirculating in the USA economy.   Now they and others move production to China and still expect us Americans to fork over our money at the same price (or more) while some global executive gets to pocket the difference in his bonus.  Money is being extracted from the USA like a shop vac in a barrel of full of peanuts.   Sorry if my philosophy of buying American offends anyone.

BTW although I was registered here for years, I must have lost my ID info.

To be fair I don't have a clue what the gear was, only that all the Europeans were kitted out in the perfect gear for rainy, freezing Scottish weather and all the US team had "waterproof malfunctions" as the commentator explained it.

Let's call a spade a spade.  The only unanswered question is where Sun Mountain of Montana had it manufactured.   Probably China.  The comments on this web site says it all.     If Americans don't fight to get it back then we deserve everything we get.   If we allow these corporations to do what gives them the most profits,  at USA cost,  the next embarassment we suffer won't be a rainsuit in a golf tournament but military gear in the field of battle.

Sun Mountain. It was Sun Mountain. I was kind of glad those things sucked so bad, they looked uglier than they performed.

      SuperSpeed Sues Stack System for Supposedly Syndicating Successes & Statistics

      By iacas ·

      https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603d222df4a6a57df7ef3e29/t/663cdba5d89e3a1848dab8d1/1715264422455/US_DIS_ILND_1_24cv3749_d34676497e293_COMPLAINT_filed_by_SuperSpeed_Golf_LLC_Jury_Demand.pdf The full complaint is there, but  basically, SuperSpeed (SS*) is claiming the Stack System (SS*) Stack System’s [sic] produces inflated metrics later used to, [sic] mislead and deceive consumers. Stack System’s marketing materials inflate apparent swing speed and distance gains through selective presentment of data without qualification that purported gains are not the result, in whole or part, of its training protocol and products. * Yes, I'm joking about abbreviating both "SS." SuperSpeed wants: A judgment that the Stack System has disseminated false and/or misleading information in violation of federal and Illinois law. The deletion of all false advertising distributed and recall of all packaging containing false advertising and a requirement that Stack System issue notices (written or otherwise) to that effect to all current distributors and retailers of its products and all distributors with whom Stack System has done business in the past eighteen months. Written confirmation within 30 days of an injunction detailing the manner and form in which Stack System has complied. An order that Stack System disseminate corrective advertising informing consumers, the trade, and the public of Stack System’s unlawful conduct. 3X all profits received by Stack System as a result of its unlawful actions. 3X all damages sustained by SuperSpeed (as a result of Stack System’s actions) The cost of the action All reasonable attorney fees All other relief to which SuperSpeed are entitled and such other or additional relief as just and proper. Oy.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By iacas ·

      I'm not doing this for the hundred and twentieth time. Sorry in advance, but you get the massively abridged version. Those guys also benefited from the weaker/shallower fields. Also, Watson's career doesn't overlap with Jack's like many think it did. Tom is nearly a decade younger. Jack won only like four majors only after Tom won his first. And Tom won more British Opens than he did all three of the other majors combined, as it was his specialty (not Jack's). Arnie's career similarly doesn't overlap Jack's as much as many think.   Jack would also tell you Tiger was the better golfer.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Dr. Manhattan ·

      Weaker depth of fields for sure. Some of the top level guys with Jack were pretty awesome. Tom Watson had the lead on the 72nd hole of the 2009 British Open, an event where Tiger missed the cut. Old Tom was almost 60 years old. Jack himself at age 58 finished Top 10 at The 1998 Masters and scored better than Tiger, who won The Masters by 12 shots just a year before that.   The success of both Tom & Jack in older age gives some hope that maybe Tiger can find the magic again at some point. He’s still trying to figure out how to build the stamina for 72 holes after the leg injury. I would love to see him jump on the leaderboard in the coming years. I know a lot of people have given up on him at this point, but that was also true from 2014 to 2017 with the back injuries. He had a hell of a resurgence in 2018 & 2019. Would be fun to see it again.

      I ran across an interesting new clip, Johnson Wagner went into that spot with the Referee who allowed the relief.  Apparently there was a perfectly reasonable shot to be made, as Johnson clearly demonstrated, so relief from the TIO was perfectly appropriate.
