With the Solheim Cup taking place at Killeen Castle in County Meath, Ireland from 19 to 25 September, Sunice explains why the Americans chose Sunice outerwear to dress their team
this September at Killeen Castle in County Meath, Ireland. Rosie Jones, the US team captain, selected Sunice for its attention to styling and exceptional performance in a difficult wet climate. The players will wear multiple

Sunice garments manufactured using only Gore-Tex fabrics as part of their exclusive uniform to ensure they are provided with ultimate performance and protection from the elements. In honour of the Solheim
Cup captain Sunice has named their ladies Ultimate jacket, ‘the Rosie’. As leader of the US Solheim Cup team and a champion in her own right, Rosie was exactly who they were looking for in naming the jacket. “As we get closer to the
Solheim Cup, the anticipation is mounting as we anxiously await the appearance of Team USA in their custom- designed Sunice outerwear suits,” said Mark Fletcher, president of Sunice. “The design and development process that involved our top product people working in conjunction with Rosie Jones and her assistants was a fun experience and we worked well together as a team.” According to Heidi Rowsell,
director of marketing: “Everyone involved had the same objective; design a great looking rainsuit that would guarantee that the players remain dry and make them look good. We

are confident that they will be the stand out team and we wish them success. By wearing Sunice outerwear we are at least certain that if faced with adverse weather conditions, they can remain focused on the task at hand and not have to worry about staying, warm, dry and comfortable.”
About Sunice Sunice, founded in 1976 in Alberta, Canada as a skiwear brand, successfully transcended its technical
outerwear capabilities into the golf market in the early 1990s as the golf industry gravitated towards designing sport specific garments that truly helped enhance the game. Thus, it’s no surprise Sunice, owned and run by Montreal, Canada- based Fletcher Leisure Group, a company with 42 years of golf industry experience, meets the demands of the most discerning golfer. Sunice golf rainwear is a chosen favourite by many PGA and LPGA Tour players around the world.
