When it comes to golf apparel, performance matters. Whether you’re playing through rain, wind, or sunshine, your gear should help you stay focused on the game. Galvin Green, a leading brand in golf apparel, has built a reputation for using cutting-edge materials that blend comfort, functionality, and innovation. In this blog, we’ll dive into the various materials and technologies that make Galvin Green one of the top choices for golfers seeking high-performance apparel. We’ll also highlight some of their standout products.
DRYVR™ Waterproof Technology: Protection from the Elements
Galvin Green’s DRYVR™ collection incorporates some of the most advanced waterproof materials available, ensuring that golfers remain dry and comfortable regardless of the weather.
PERTEX® Shield 3-Layer Stretch
The Galvin Green Men’s Ames PERTEX Shield Zip Waterproof Jacket uses PERTEX® Shield Stretch technology, offering the perfect blend of waterproof protection and flexibility. The 3-layer fabric features a hydrophilic PU membrane, which draws in moisture while remaining 100% waterproof. What sets this apart is the smooth ‘slide’n’glide’ backer, ensuring that the jacket feels comfortable against the skin without restricting your swing.
Key features include:
• 100% waterproof
• Highly breathable
• Bluesign® approved & PFC-free
For complete protection, pair the Ames Jacket with the Galvin Green Men’s Alan PERTEX Shield Waterproof Trousers. These trousers offer the same stretchable, breathable, and waterproof fabric, making them the ideal combination for golfers who refuse to let the rain interfere with their game.
GORE-TEX Stretch with C-KNIT™ Backer
Another standout in the DRYVR™ range is the GORE-TEX Stretch with C-KNIT™ Backer. Used in various jackets, this ultra-lightweight material provides a super-smooth feel, ensuring garments like the Galvin Green Men’s Lyndon Zip Jacket slide comfortably over base layers. The C-KNIT™ backer is made from a soft mesh that significantly reduces friction, while the 3-layer GORE-TEX fabric remains fully waterproof and breathable. This material is engineered for maximum comfort, giving players unrestricted movement while keeping them dry.
INTERFACE-1™ Windproof & Water Repellent Technology: The Perfect Layering Solution
Galvin Green’s INTERFACE-1™ technology focuses on combining warmth, windproof protection, and water resistance. This fabric line is perfect for autumn and spring rounds when wind and chilly weather can challenge your performance.
INTERFACE-1™ Warming Effect #1, #2, and #3
The Galvin Green Men’s Dylan Zip Insula Padded Jacket is an excellent example of INTERFACE-1™ Warming Effect #3, which incorporates PRIMALOFT® padding for extra warmth. Designed for windy conditions, this jacket provides complete windproofing while remaining breathable, ensuring the release of excess moisture and heat. It’s perfect for colder weather, as the PRIMALOFT® padding keeps your core warm without adding unnecessary bulk.
For those playing in slightly milder conditions, the Galvin Green Men’s Douglas Insula Half Zip Pullover offers Warming Effect #1 technology. This pullover provides a lightweight thermal layer with high breathability, allowing golfers to maintain comfort and flexibility while protecting against the wind.
INSULA™ Thermal Insulation: Lightweight Warmth for Cold Days
Galvin Green’s INSULA™ technology is designed to provide lightweight thermal insulation, making it the ideal choice for layering on cooler days.
INSULA™ Warming Effect #2 and #3
Products like the Galvin Green Junior Raz Half Zip Insula Pullover feature INSULA™ Warming Effect #2. This fabric traps body heat within its built-in air chambers, providing excellent thermal insulation while remaining stretchy and breathable. It’s designed for warmth without sacrificing mobility, making it ideal for juniors and adults alike.
For even colder conditions, the Galvin Green Men’s Dylan Zip Insula Padded Jacket offers Warming Effect #3, which includes padding in key areas for extra warmth. This jacket provides body mapping technology, adding warmth exactly where you need it most, ensuring that the wearer remains comfortable during even the coldest rounds.
VENTIL8™ PLUS: Stay Cool and Dry on Warmer Days
For warmer days on the course, Galvin Green’s VENTIL8™ PLUS technology ensures breathability and moisture management. This fabric is engineered to wick away sweat and keep golfers cool, allowing for maximum airflow and comfort.
VENTIL8™ PLUS Performance
The Galvin Green Men’s Miracle Ventil8 Plus Polo Shirt is a standout piece in this category. Made from a highly breathable fabric, it wicks moisture away from the skin and spreads it over a larger surface area for quicker evaporation. This ensures you stay cool and dry, even during the most intense rounds.
Paired with the Galvin Green Men’s Nox Ventil8 Plus Trouser, this combination offers UV protection, lightweight comfort, and excellent breathability—making it perfect for summer or spring golf rounds.
SKINTIGHT™ Base Layers: The Foundation of Performance
The SKINTIGHT™ series from Galvin Green is designed for year-round comfort. This high-performance base layer technology offers either thermal insulation for colder weather or moisture-wicking properties for warmer conditions.
SKINTIGHT™ Thermal
The SKINTIGHT™ Thermal range features advanced polyester yarn designed with air chambers to trap body heat. Perfect for layering in cold weather, the SKINTIGHT™ Thermal fabrics ensure breathability and comfort while keeping you warm.
