June 22, 2012 – Golfers consider Galvin Green as a benchmark in high-quality technical golf garments. But what about golf shirts?

Today there are hundreds of brands on the market which have the golf shirt as a basic piece in their golf collections. This is not the case for the Swedish brand Galvin Green, which offers a full range of possibilities in the ‘multi-layer’ concept, specifically developed to improve the player’s comfort and performance on the golf course.

We realize, then, that the golf shirts of Galvin Green are part of this concept and are therefore not conventional shirts but technical garments, created to keep the player’s body cool and dry at all times independent of the weather.

Belonging to the ‘Cool Layer’ category, they are able to fulfil different missions perfectly: such as a golf shirt on a sunny day, as a first layer on a windy day under one of the windproof jackets of Galvin Green, or in winter as an intermediate layer over a Skintight –the thermal and compression long sleeve shirt of the brand– and under one of its great water jackets.

So at MyGolfWay.com we have checked out Marlow, a technical golf shirt that has given us very good feelings. It is lightweight and comfortable to wear. Its fabric Ventil8 is very cool even under the intense sun. The surface of the fibre is bigger than regular polyester and can therefore take more moisture, spreading it out and drying more quickly. Marlow fits your body and allows you freedom of movement without restricting your swing. And as it isn’t subject to fashion, the combination of fabrics and colours keeps the garment up to date.

• The design looks spectacular.
• The combination of fabrics is very original.
• Provides maximum comfort and it is very comfortable.
• The black panels under the arms and centre back are highly breathable.
• It is very resistant to sunlight.
• Although it is modern, I think it will also appeal to lovers of the classic look.

VENTIL8 

The Ventil8 range makes use of carefully selected materials with unique properties. A Ventil8 shirts transports moisture and excess heat away twice as quickly as a conventional polyester golf shirt. This is made possible by an advanced technology whereby the textile fibres are designed to disperse perspiration and moisture over a larger area, allowing moisture to evaporate considerably more rapidly.
