Galvin Green – The Interface-1 range introduces a ground-breaking layering technology for 2018

February 1, 2018 – Galvin Green, the leading premium technical performance golf apparel brand, is introducing ground-breaking layering technology into its latest collection to help serious golfers play and perform throughout the season.

State-of-the-art fabrics in the new Interface-1 hybrid range of Shell Layer garments provide golfers with exceptional levels of performance and protection. The versatility of Interface-1 products is what truly sets them apart, allowing the jackets to be worn 95 times out of 100 rounds.

The leading outerwear brand – Official Supplier of Weatherwear to The European Ryder Cup Team in September – is also launching its softest waterproof jacket ever, plus body-mapped INSULA mid-layers for outstanding thermal regulation and striking Ventil8 Plus shirts providing outstanding breathability.

“The mission was to create a group of products that could be worn by golfers in 95 of 100 rounds they play, so they can enjoy playing the game more often in different weather conditions,” said CEO Christian Nilsson. “We set out to find new fabrics and design quality garments that will act as genuine performance-enhancing equipment when called upon out on the course and the latest Interface-1 jackets are in a class of their own when it comes to regular playing conditions,” he added.

The lightweight, windproof Interface-1 garments are also water repellent and extremely soft, stretchy and breathable for maximum comfort. They come in seven different styles and up to eight colour variations, including new Orange and Fore Green in three colour combinations. Sizes range from S-3XL.

Leading the new Interface-1 line is the LANCE, a full-zip jacket with a sleeve pocket made from 100% polyester stretch fabric and a PU membrane in four colour options. It has a repositioned side seam for greater comfort and an elastic drawstring at the hem.

Another full-zip jacket is the short-sleeved LARS in three colourways and a distinctive pattern on the sleeves and across the back.

The LENNOX is a half-zip jacket with a 3-layer fabric construction in five colour variations with elastic binding on the cuffs, while the LEON also incorporates a moisture-transporting backer in a full-zip style across four colourways. The LENNY is the bodywarmer version with 3-layer construction in two colour options.

The LARRY full-zip Interface-1 jacket in two colour choices combines a soft Polyamide fabric with premium PrimaLoft padding, matched with a water repellent finish; while the LOGAN full-zip body warmer with a chest pocket provides excellent protection from the elements with similar PrimaLoft padding in Navy or Black.

RECORD NUMBER OF NEW LINES

In a collection that contains almost 300 garments and accessories, there are a record 67 brand new lines (35 in the men’s range and 32 in the ladies’ collection), plus an enlarged junior offering.

The flagship waterproof jacket is the ultra-lightweight 3-layer full-zip ALON, incorporating GORE-TEX stretch fabric with exclusive C-KNIT backer material to ’slide and glide’ over garments worn underneath. The breathability of the new C-KNIT jackets is improved by more than 25%. Lighter than 2-layer lined GORE-TEX jackets, it comes in three colours and is matched with AXEL trousers in two colours and 23 different size options.

Another newcomer to the Shell Layer range is the highly-distinctive ANGELO full-zip GORE-TEX PacLite jacket with a chest pocket in five, 3-colour combinations and prominent branding.

The increasingly popular INSULA warm layer range has been extended with the eye-catching DAWSON full zip jacket with padded patches on the shoulders and a zipped pocket on the left sleeve offering thermal regulation and style.

The most striking new Cool Layer VENTIL8 PLUS short sleeve shirts include the classy MARLON in four finely-dotted colour choices featuring tailored collar and cuffs and UV protection 20+, plus the MAYER in six 4-colour versions, each with a variable stripe design and subtle ‘G’ logo.

The SKINTIGHT Thermal base layer range has also been extended with the introduction of the EBBOT long sleeve, crew neck vest with a pattern design across the shoulders and carrying prominent branding on the sleeve.

Galvin Green – Englishman Chris Paisley plays flawless last round in VENTIL8 PLUS clothing

January 20, 2018 – Team Galvin Green member Chris Paisley stayed cool and in control as things heated up during the final round of the BMW South Africa Open Championship to win his maiden European Tour title and move into the top five in the Race to Dubai.

The Englishman withstood the concerted pressure exerted by local favourite Branden Grace supported by the home crowd, as well as temperatures reaching 32°, to take his first Tour victory at the Glendower Golf Club near Johannesburg.

“I played out of my skin,” said the 31-year-old who had his wife Keri carrying his bag for the first time in a tournament. “I didn’t even think I was capable of playing that well to be honest and to come out on top in such a wonderful place is amazing.”

Playing in the iron grey/white/yellow MAX shirt and steel grey NOEL trousers in unrivalled VENTIL8 PLUS moisture-wicking performance fabric, Chris carded six birdies in the closing round to finish on -21 and three shots ahead of Grace, an 8-time winner on the European Tour.

The distinctive MAX shirt offers exceptional moisture transportation to stay cool and dry. Its yarn-dyed stripe design is coupled with a curl resistant collar that has a two-ply construction along with the sleeve ends. The NOEL trousers are made in the stretch VENTIL8 PLUS fabric with a UPF 20+ for maximum comfort in warm playing conditions.

“Chris has been a great brand ambassador for Galvin Green in recent times and we’re all delighted for him and his wife after such an impressive performance under pressure,” said Christian Nilsson, CEO/Managing Director of Galvin Green.

October 30, 2017 – Premium performance clothing brand Galvin Green has extended its association with promising young stars within the growing Modest! Golf Management stable – Italy’s Guido Migliozzi and Christiaan Bezuidenhout from South Africa.

Both European Challenge Tour players have signed new two-year agreements to wear Galvin Green garments exclusively at tournaments around the world and appear as prominent brand ambassadors.

“Christiaan and Guido fit our brand perfectly and are just the type of players we want to work with,” said Brand Manager Nicholai Stein. “They will be involved in future product launches and play a big part in our future success. This dual agreement shows how the philosophies of Modest! Golf and Galvin Green are very close,” he added.

Christiaan, 23, finished strongly at the recent Alfred Dunhill Links Championship with a closing 67 on the Old Course at St Andrews. He was runner-up at the 2016 BMW SA Open and has won three events in his native South Africa since turning professional in 2015.

Guido, 20, won on the Alps Tour last month when he defeated two Frenchmen in a play-off for the Open Abruzzo title in his native Italy. He turned professional last October after competing in the Terre dei Consoli Open and enjoying a highly successful amateur career.

Mark McDonnell Director of Modest! Golf Management said: “We are delighted to announce Guido and Christiaan as the latest faces of Galvin Green. The brand is so supportive of its players, always going above and beyond for them. Galvin Green has lots of exciting projects ahead and Guido and Christiaan are both proud and excited to be an integral part of those plans.”

Modest! Golf was set up by Modest! Management, which has a long history within the entertainment sector of looking after acts such as One Direction, Olly Murs and Little Mix, alongside keen golfer Niall Horan.

Galvin Green is the UK’s market leader in golf outerwear and an Official Supplier to the European Team competing at the 2018 Ryder Cup contest in Paris.

Galvin Green – Latest Cool Layer range with new Ventil8 PLUS technology to keep golfer even cooler

June 19, 2017 – Galvin Green, the leading premium technical performance brand, has introduced a new summer collection of 38 stunning golf shirts that takes garment breathability and comfort out on the course to another level.

The brand that pioneered its Multi-layer Concept to make playing golf as comfortable as possible in all weather conditions has enhanced its exclusive shirt range to produce the most varied premium Cool Layer selection on the market.

Accounting for half of the new range, the new Ventil8 PLUS shirts are manufactured from 100% polyester and ready to be worn soon after washing. The stylish shirts offer an extremely high level of breathability and incorporate outstanding moisture wicking properties that allow excess heat to dissipate quickly for maximum comfort in the hottest playing conditions.

The new garments also feature improved ventilation thanks to body mapping technology, plus UV protection of 20+ so golfers can fully concentrate on their game in higher temperatures.

“At Galvin Green we exist so that serious golfers can perform and enjoy their golf no matter what the weather,” said Greg Pearse, Managing Director in the UK & Ireland.

“We’re renowned for our industry-leading waterproofs, but our obsession with innovation and quality applies across our entire Multi-Layer Concept. We had a great year with shirts last year and have chosen to extend the range this summer and add even more garment technology to maximise performance,” he added.

COLOURFUL COLLECTION

MIKE

Designed by golfers for golfers, the Ventil8 PLUS range includes eye-catching and stylish shirts, such as the short-sleeve MIKE (S-XXL). The shirt is available in four block colours – White, Navy, Black and Iron grey – with a striking colourway across the shoulders and down the sleeves in Deep Barolo red, Deep Ocean blue, Iron grey or Apple.

A more sporty design, the MITCHELL (S-XXL) features a two-tone pattern across the chest and is available in five different colourway choices to match any Galvin Green Ventli8 trousers or shorts.

MITCHELL

The MAC (S-3XL) is another VENTIL8 PLUS shirt and available in eight of the most appealing block colours. The design of the shoulders and the cut of the short sleeves have been shaped to minimise restriction when swinging the club.

“The cut of the sleeves is an example where we look at every garment down to the smallest detail and decide where we can improve it – whether that’s providing exceptional comfort, protection from the elements or in this case greater freedom of movement,” added Greg Pearse.

MAC and MELVIN

Completing the Cool Layer range are three short sleeve Ventil8 options and one long sleeve design that offer a smooth and soft hand-feel, while retaining high breathability and 20+ UV protection. Made from a remarkably hard-wearing 81% polyester and 19% cotton fabric mix, the MELVIN (S-XXL) features a distinctive design over the shoulder and down the back. It’s available in five colour options, including Navy/Electric red/White and Iron grey/Apple/White.

The MILLER (S-3XL) comes in eight block colours with flashes of contemporary colour detail on the collar and sleeve ends. Also available as a block coloured shirt is the MARCO (S-XXL). Detailed stitching in contrasting colours runs from the collar down to the sleeves, with standout branding on the left arm. Five block colours are available.

The colourful range features the return of the elegant long sleeve MORRIS (S-XXL) in Black and White, with a stud button front and branding on the chest.

For the first time, there is also a Ventil8 junior shirt in the range. The sporty-looking short sleeve ROCK comes in White and Black, both with multi-colour stripes at the back (134/140-170).

Galvin Green – Golf Digest Editors’ choice award for second-consecutive year

April 17, 2017 – Galvin Green, the world’s leading maker of functional golf clothing for serious players and the No. 1 global golf partner of GORE-TEX, has been awarded a Golf Digest 2017 Editors’ Choice Award for Best Golf Raingear.

For the second-consecutive year, Galvin Green has been bestowed with this prestigious honour, further confirming its position as a leader in premium outerwear. A pioneer in the category, Galvin Green was the first to introduce GORE-TEX C-KNIT Backer technology to the golf market earlier this year.

“To once again be recognized by one of game’s most respected editorial outlets is a testament to our drive to develop only the best in performance golf wear,” says Andrew Creed, President of Galvin Green USA. “This season we’re excited to introduce several pieces incorporating new technologies, which will no doubt push the envelope even more.”

Galvin Green – New BOW half-zip jacket weights slightly more than two golf balls

April 6, 2017 – Leading premium technical performance brand Galvin Green continues to revolutionise golf clothing with the ‘virtually weightless’ BOW Shell Layer jacket that features exclusively in its 2017 Part One apparel range.

Like all Galvin Green garments, the BOW is expressly designed for golfers by golfers, offering exceptional freedom of movement throughout the swing and protecting the wearer against windchill out on the course.

The remarkable garment weighs just 107 grams – slightly more than the weight of two golf balls (92 grams) – while being totally windproof, water repellent and highly breathable due to its high-tech GORE WINDSTOPPER Active Shell fabric construction.

An ultra-thin WINDSTOPPER membrane is laminated to a lightweight abrasion-resistant textile layer. It creates a versatile, microporous garment that allows water vapour to pass from within unhindered to give the jacket its breathability and keep the body at an optimum performance temperature.

Designed with a high collar and fitted cuffs to protect the golfer from the stiffest of breezes, the BOW is also extremely packable due to its ultra-light weight and naturally thin material.

“The BOW is an extraordinary garment and the product of extensive testing with different fabrics to find the very best way to protect golfers without adding weight,” said Creative Director Mats Lundqvist. “It’s by far the lightest jacket that Galvin Green has ever produced and in a class of its own when it comes to premium performance outerwear.”

Available in three colour options – Deep Ocean blue, Black and Iron Grey – the BOW can be worn in conjunction with Warm, Cool or Base Layers as part of the pioneering Galvin Green Multi-Layer Concept that allows serious golfers to layer garments for optimum comfort in the conditions they’re set to play in.

RRP: £200, available in sizes S-3XL.

Galvin Green – Revolutionary performance technologies for the start of the 2017 season

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.

Galvin Green – Strongest ever team of brand ambassadors, with 32 players across six golf Tours

February 14, 2017 – Leading golf apparel brand Galvin Green has announced its strongest ever Team of brand ambassadors for this season, with a total of 32 professionals headed by PGA Tour star Troy Merritt and LPGA and Solheim Cup winner Caroline Masson.

The Official Supplier of Weatherwear to the European Team at The 2018 Ryder Cup in Paris is providing its award-winning clothing to talented players from 13 nations competing on the PGA, European, Challenge, LPGA, Ladies European and LET Access Tours in 2017.

“Once again Galvin Green is supporting talented young golfers we see as having a big future in the game and we’re very excited about their prospects for the current season,” said Greg Pearse, Managing Director for UK & Ireland.

“With garments like the new C-KNIT waterproofs, we have really pushed the boundaries of clothing technology this season to provide the ultimate comfort for our professional players in any weather condition they’ll have to contend with on Tour,” he added.

Competing in high-performance Galvin Green clothing on the PGA Tour alongside Troy Merritt, who secured his first title at the Quicken Loans National in 2015, are Richy Werenski and Australian Brett Drewitt.

The list of players coming out of a successful European Tour 2016 season includes the consistent Ricardo Gouveia from Portugal and England’s Chris Paisley. Also on the European Tour wearing Galvin Green this season are Matt Nixon, John Parry, Laurie Canter, Daniel Im and Carlos Pigem (second picture).

Alexander Björk, who is attached to the brand’s home golf course at Växjö GC in central Sweden, has begun playing on the European Tour for the first time, after finishing seventh in the Challenge Tour rankings last year. Björk has made the cut in his first five events and attributes his strong opening performances to being comfortable in different playing conditions.

“Galvin Green is the best golf clothing you can get and perfect for the changing conditions we face on Tour. I am proud to wear Galvin Green products and since they are based in my home city, it’s a perfect match!”, says Alexander Björk.

Eight promising players are also competing in Galvin Green clothing on the European Challenge Tour that begins next month in Kenya. New signings Guido Migliozzi (third picture), Thriston Lawrence and Christiaan Bezuidenhout from the Modest! Management stable join Gary Boyd, Daniel Gavins, Lauri Ruuska (first picture), Kalle Saamoja, Morton Orum Madsen and Kevin Phelan.

German star Caroline Masson, who shot a final round six-under 66 to claim her maiden LPGA Tour title at the Manulife LPGA Classic last month, heads the female line-up alongside Ladies European Tour players Kelsey MacDonald and Sophie Walker.

Karolin Lampert, Mireia Prat (fourth picture) and two Swedish players Louise Larsson and Isabella Ramsey are also competing on the LET, while Josephine Janson, Johanna Björk, Alexandra Bonetti and Marika Voss represent the brand on the LET Access Tour.

The 2017 Part-1 Galvin Green range contains more than 100 garments, including waterproof jackets and trousers, pullovers, shirts, shorts, hats, gloves, socks, base layers and accessories; of which around half are brand new lines. The latest range also features original fabric technology entirely new to the golfing world across four different layers within its pioneering Multi-layer concept.

“We felt the best way to showcase the exciting new technology was to increase our presence on the Tour and we are really looking forward to working with more players than ever before,” said Tom Burlison who looks after Galvin Green’s Sports Marketing.

Galvin Green, Tournaments

Galvin Green – Carlos Pigem shines again on the Asian Tour, second in the 2017 Myanmar Open

January 31, 2017 – Carlos Pigem, Galvin Green‘s staff player, continues to shine on the AsianTour, and with his second place last Sunday in the Leopalace21 Myanmar Open 2017, he has achieved eleven Top-10s since joining the Tour in 2013.

The Spanish golfer played a superb tournament, with rounds of 70, 67, 68 and 68, for a total of -11 and 273 shots. However, he was unable to beat the success of Australian Todd Sinnott who, with two outstanding rounds of 64 and 65, finally took a three-hit lead over Pigem. Both were in the penultimate group and the game turned into an authentic battle for the victory, which for Carlos would have been the second after the Yeangder Tournament Players 2016.

“It was a very exciting week”, said Carlos Pigem after the tournament. “I didn’t play well in Singapore but this week I played pretty good. Today I missed one shot and that cost me a lot. I was going for it, but Todd (Sinnott) made his putts so he deserved to win. I went into the water on the 12th hole, but I can’t complain about my play today. I hit one bad shot, that’s all, but I’ll carry on fighting in the next two weeks.”

Well equipped by Galvin Green’s smart technical VENTIL8 polo shirts in different colour combinations (white, grey, red, black…) Carlos Pigem has kept fresh and comfortable playing in the hot and humid conditions of the Pun Hlaing GC field in Myanmar, now placed third in the money list of the Asian Tour with 82,500 dollars. He has practically secured the tour card for 2018, although his aim is make the European Tour, which he got very close to last year.

During the week of the Myanmar Open, Carlos Pigem has been able to make extraordinary shots like this approach on the 11th hole… holing putters with suspense like this one… or holing this huge putt and feeling rather surprised at his fortune.
