Sun Mountain Thermal Hat

Sun Mountain Thermal HatI’ve got a great new thermal hat, a.k.a. beanie,  I’ve used for a couple of chilly rounds here.  This one is a dual layer hat by Sun Mountain.

The outer layer is a soft fleece with the inner liner being a smoother “tricot” fabric.  The fleece layer is a tighter pile than your standard fleece and is what is called “pill proof.”  That simply means it won’t bunch up into those fleece lint blobs.  The tricot liner is very comfortable and soft.

This hat isn’t quite as bulky as other fleece beanies I have which is quite nice.  The fabric stretches to fit my fat head cranium full of golf blogging genius.  The fabric combinations keep the head and ears warm and also provide a wind barrier.

Colors

Currently Sun Mountain offers the thermal hat in three colors: black, charcoal, navy.

Switch Belts – Can a golf belt increase driving distance and clean last night’s lasagna dishes?

While at the PGA Show a few weeks ago, I was working on a freelance golf writing gig for my local golf association’s quarterly magazine (Fairways Magazine).  The focus was Utah companies on display at the show.  I found a very cool new company called Switch Belt.  Switch is a one year old company which makes very unique plastic golf belts.  Yes plastic.

Switch Golf BeltOverview

Switch belts are made out of a thermoplastic resin (TPR).  (Now this is starting to sound like a golf ball review.  No the core of the belt doesn’t decrease spin and increase carry. Nor does the ultra thin cover of the belt produce high spin around the greens.)  But, the thermoplastic resin is an Eco-friendly plastic which is biodegradable.
