May 16, 2012 - PRLog -- Birmingham, Mich. – The all-new 2012 outerwear line from American apparel maker The Otter Company, including its all-new Francestown Vests and Half-Sleeves, and Otter-Tech Wind Shirts, are ideal for extending early season sessions, when golfers are challenged by unpredictable, changeable spring weather.
 
“The Otter Company has broken from the traditions that have bound weather-resistant active wear,” said Martin Stebbins, the company’s founder and President.  “Our 2012 outerwear collection features a series of styles and a selection of eco-sensitive fabrics – including cottons, wools and eco-responsible man-made fabrics – without sacrificing performance, function, style or fit.”

Designed to extend playing sessions and seasons shortened by poor weather, the new spring 2012 collection includes five groups; the Francestown series, the Otter-Tech line, the signature Rain Sweater, the Storm Fleece line, and the Play-Through Series.

ACTION-Aimed Performance Design™ is the unique characteristic of every garment from The Otter Company.
