With so many days affected by rainfall in a year it's no wonder why golf waterproofs are becoming popular here in the UK. It's almost a given these days that if you play golf you will be spending at least half of your time wearing waterproofs. There are now a large range of golf waterproofs incorporating new manufacturing technologies that will keep you dry, warm and cool. At the cheaper end, lightweight nylon garments will keep you dry and are compact enough to squeeze into a bag. However they do come with some disadvantages, they are not breathable, so although you may stay dry you will find you start to sweat quite quickly and also they tend to be noisy. Sound is really not what's needed when swinging the club. As the game needs concentration, small noises caused by friction in the garment could be very annoying and distracting.  

Galvin Green is a leading manufacturer of golf waterproof apparel, and in addition to using the latest technology, the key to their approach is multi-layering. So if you are looking to kit yourself out for a variable climate, then they might be the best choice for you, as you can combine a warming but moisture-wicking ‘Skintight’ layer with ‘Windstopper’ or ‘Insula’ windproof jackets, pullovers, hats, gloves and mitts. Their waterproof ranges, GoreTex Pac-Lite Shell and Gore-Tex Performance Shell, both packed with refinements, complete the picture.
