Golf is a game played on an ever-changing playing field, where alterations in weather are the only true constant. Galvin Green, the official outerwear supplier for the 2018 European Ryder Cup team, understood that from the start, creating apparel that allows golfers to adapt to whatever Mother Nature throws at them.
That’s why the Swedish clothing company continues to evolve its apparel line for men and women, always eyeing the need for improving comfort and performance.
“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,” says Christian Nilsson, CEO of Galvin Green. “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.”
Unpredictable Ontario spring? Galvin has you covered. Cold February day in Victoria? Galvin will keep you warm. Hot summer day in Western Canada? Shorts and moisture-wicking shirts will keep you cool and dry. “We strive for perfection with every collection and this season’s host of new garments clearly reflects our brand philosophy of never compromising on any aspect of our range,” says Nilsson.
The premium apparel brand is best known for their layering outerwear and contemporary styles.
Rainwear: Don’t let a passing shower ruin your game. Galvin Green has long been recognized for creating some of the best rain suits in the business. Using GORE-Tex waterproof membranes, you’ll find options guaranteed to be both light and entirely waterproof in the lineup. This rainwear can easily be rolled up and slipped in a golf bag when not needed. With the quality Galvin Green is known for, it isn’t surprising Golf Digest has named the company’s jackets as the best in golf, highlighting some of the nuances, like rain channels at the end of sleeves. It is the details that set Galvin apart.
Contemporary Styling: While instilling technology into its clothing is central to everything Galvin Green does, its sophisticated styling, often based around a progressive sports aesthetic, is a defining characteristic of the brand. The latest Edge Collection, available at Toronto-Laird and Victoria Golf Town locations and online, offers all of the company’s fabric technologies, while also providing a contemporary look.
Stay warm with Insula Lite: Layering is a key for Galvin Green, and that’s why the company’s INSULA Lite has become a significant part of the lineup. The company has improved on this significant offering by creating a new lightweight INSULA, which is 15% lighter than previous versions, while keepings it breathability and smooth texture. INSULA garments have built-in air chambers which are warmed by the body heat and provide extremely effective and long-lasting thermal insulation.
Keep cool with VENTIL8: Galvin has always focused on keeping its clothing breathable with industry-leading moisture wicking. That continues with the company’s VENTIL8 range of shirts that use body-mapping technology to guarantee great performance and greater than 20 UV protection.
