Galvin Green Technology

Galvin Green only use the best materials, designed not only to be fit for purpose, but also to offer golfers the comfort, protection, ease of use and durability they need to stay at the top of their game. Research and development is Galvin Green’s watchword, and the company is almost always ahead of the game in terms of bringing new technologies to market, perfected with passion by golfers for the game of golf.

Dry Layer – Gore-Tex Performance Shell and Gore-Tex PacLite Shell waterproof suits

The Gore-Tex membrane contains over 1.4 billion microscopic pores per square cm. These pores are 20,000 times smaller than a water droplet, but 700 times larger than a water vapour molecule, which makes the Gore-Tex Performance Shell waterproof suit impermeable from the outside, while allowing perspiration to escape from the inside.

Meanwhile, the lightweight PacLite Shell features the same benefits of using Gore-Tex, but is also made from the lightest, most packable fabric, for minimum weight and maximum breathability.

Warm Layer - Windstopper and Insula windtops and sweaters

Galvin Green’s proprietary Windstopper membrane is an ultra-thin, totally windproof protective layer which is laminated to a lightweight textile layer. The membrane is made of the versatile polymer PTFE (polytetrafluorethylene) which is expanded to create a microporous structure. These micropores are 900 times larger than water vapour molecules, allowing perspiration to pass through unhindered, while keeping the windchill out.

Insula garments, meanwhile, are tight-fitting with a 'waffle pattern' interior. The fabric has built-in air chambers which are warmed by the body heat and so provide extremely effective and long-lasting thermal insulation, keeping golfers snug even on the coldest of days.

Cool and Fresh Layers - Ventil8 and Skintight

A Galvin Green Ventil8 shirt will transport 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.

Meanwhile, the Skintight Fresh range is made with an anti-bacterial material that transports moisture away from the skin. The anti-bacterial properties serve to maintain the skin's natural bacterial level, but eliminate odour, providing fresh and dry comfort at all times.

Finally, the Galvin Green’s Skintight Compression Technology garments are specially developed for temperatures of 10 – 20o C to enhance circulation, improve body posture and provide greater stamina. The polyester and spandex fabrics, along with the tight fit, make it extremely efficient in moisture management, so maintaining ideal thermoregulation.
