June 13, 2012 – The first technical golf garment that we tested in MyGolfWay.com had to be, of course, Galvin Green. This is a renowned Swedish brand that leaves no one indifferent when it is seen being worn by professionals on Tour, because the garments appear to be, and now we have confirmed that they are, designed perfectly to play golf.

The windproof Burns Half Zip Jacket, which is the update of the previous Bates in the Galvin Green collection, is a garment designed to balance the microclimate that occurs between the body and the garments that we use when playing golf. And to achieve this mission as effectively as possible the Swedish brand has total confidence in what it considers the best product available on the market, the ultra-thin membrane Windstopper Soft Shell.

Within the multi-layer concept of Galvin Green, the Burns jacket is intended as mid-layer or outer-layer in windchill and for a wide variety of weather conditions. The soft collar, elastic cuffs and adjustable waistband are really comfortable.

Total windproofness, protects your body from the chilling effects of wind, while its maximum breathability, thanks to its microporous structure, prevents overheating and perspiration build-up by allowing moisture vapour to escape easily.

• The Burns jacket is very comfortable. The fabric is light and flexible, but has some thickness, which also makes it comfortable and convenient to carry.
• Traditional windproofs usually make a lot of “noise”. However this one is totally “noiseless”, when you swing, or when it is windy. This garment is virtually “silent”.
• You can tell that it’s designed especially for golf. The comfort is unmatched, although you really have to experience it to fully understand that. And the available colours seem elegant and sober. It has an excellent design, has class and makes you dress impeccably on the course.
• The versatility of a garment like Burns with WindStopper membrane renders it practically indispensable for the player. Although as Galvin Green seeks the best for the golfer, the excellent design, top-range fabric and superb finish cannot keep the price tag down.

RATING

[rating: level=”4.5″]

 It is comfortable and adapts to movement of the swing, to focus on your golf without the distraction of being cold, damp or overheated.

 Its high price is not achievable to all budgets. The colour scheme might seem rather classic for those who like to be in fashion.
