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.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
