March 7, 2017 – Revolutionary technology, standout designs and customary bright colour combinations are at the heart of the Galvin Green Multi-layer golf apparel range for the start of the 2017 season.
The leading premium technical performance brand has created a comprehensive collection of ultra-lightweight, compatible clothing that incorporates original fabrics entirely new to the golfing world across four different layers – one of which was validated by Europe’s best players at The 2016 Ryder Cup.
In a collection that contains more than 100 garments and accessories, there are 25 brand new lines in the men’s range, 28 in the ladies’ collection, plus an enlarged junior offering that includes a VENTIL8 golf shirt for the first time. Colours include Deep Ocean blue and Apple, plus the return of Navy.
Shell layer with C-KNIT backer
Marking a 15-year association with the unrivalled GORE-TEX waterproof membrane, Galvin Green has added a revolutionary Japanese-made C-KNIT backer to form three-layer stretch fabric jackets and trousers that can ‘slide & glide’ over garments underneath. Despite the extra layer, the jackets are lighter than two-layer lined GORE-TEX options.
“C-KNIT represents the next generation of golf rainwear and another ‘first’ for Galvin Green as the pioneering brand in the waterproofs sector,” said Christian Nilsson, CEO/Managing Director. “A revolutionary fabric technology has been integrated into garments designed for golfers by golfers to offer maximum protection from the elements, while being amazingly lightweight and stylish at the same time.”
The new ARGON full-zip jacket with C-KNIT backer provides greater comfort than any other durable waterproof garment on the market and features a high collar and zipped cuffs in a rubber-like neoprene material designed to repel steady rain. Colour options are Deep Ocean blue/Black /White; Black/Iron grey/Apple; & Iron grey/Black/White in sizes S-3XL.
The C-KNIT backer material with super-smooth hand feel is also incorporated into a half-zip waterproof jacket with adjustable waist and chest tabs, the ALDRIN, that comes in four-colour combinations in the same sizes – Iron grey/Black/Deep Ocean/White, Black/Iron grey/Black/White & Apple/Iron grey/Black/White.
Matching these top quality jackets are the ARN trousers that also include C-KNIT backer material with GORE-TEX stretch fabric; plus, elasticated waist with drawstring at the back; zip fly opening; and zipped front and covered back pockets. For easier dressing, they feature long leg openings zipped with water-repellent zips at the back rather than the sides and come in 23 size options.
“The amazingly smooth texture of the C-KNIT jackets and trousers are the result of five years of testing different fabric combinations to avoid the kind of rainwear that proves stiff, heavy, noisy or snags on other clothing,” said Creative Director Mats Lundqvist. “As European Ryder Cup players and staff who were the first to wear them reported after rounds at Hazeltine, there’s no protective golf clothing quite like them,” he added.
Shell layer GORE WINDSTOPPER
Another extraordinary garment in the latest collection is the BOW half-zip jacket in a new GORE WINDSTOPPER fabric that is virtually weightless at 107gms, or the equivalent weight of just two golf balls. Reassuringly windproof, water repellent and extremely breathable, it comes in three colours, including Deep Ocean and sizes S-3XL.
Warm layer INSULA Lite
No Galvin Green product line has experienced a more dramatic climb in popularity in recent times than the INSULA pullover offering thermal regulation. Now there is a new lightweight INSULA Lite fabric that is 15% lighter than the previous version, while retaining a super-smooth texture and outstanding breathability.
Cool layer VENTIL8 Plus
The Official Supplier of Weatherwear to Europe’s 2018 Ryder Cup team in Paris has also extended the level of breathability and moisture wicking properties of its exclusive VENTIL8 range of premium golf shirts, featuring body-mapping technology and UV protection 20+. There are three new shirt lines and trousers and shorts in the new fabric, as well as the regular VENTIL8 short sleeve shirts as well as the return of the elegant long sleeve MORRIS in Black and White.
Ladies Collection
The C-KNIT backer fabric with super-smooth hand feel also features in the new premium GORE-TEX waterproof full-zip jacket ALYSSA and trousers AISHA in Navy & Nectarine trim on the zip, pockets and arms (XS-XL). The ultra-lightweight Paclite range includes the ADRIANA full-zip jacket and ASTRID waterproof trousers in four matching colours; new GORE WINDSTOPPER garments in BRIONY and BESS; INSULA Lite DANIELLE pullovers and DAPHNE jackets, plus MAVIS shirts in moisture-wicking VENTIL8 Plus that also provides UV 20+ protection.
