Galvin Green Waterproofs have been on the market since 1990, making it possible for golfers to brave the cold and wet on the course without succumbing to either the weather or the bulkiness of previous clothing options. Surely, golfers in the past protected themselves from the elements, too. But they did so by layering up for warmth, and then wearing a coat over the layers of sweaters for dryness. Heavy and constricting, the choices were nowhere as sleek or streamlined as they are today.
Golfers at all levels of skill and ability recognize the importance of dressing appropriately for the sport. Of utmost importance is comfort and functionality, the need to wear something that allows for freedom of movement. Imagine someone in a straight jacket trying to tee off. It's not very practical. For golfers who play where the weather is windy and wet, it's crucial to stay dry and warm as well.
Gore Tex is a water repellent, lightweight fabric that all Galvin Green Waterproofs are made from. Not only does Gore Tex cause water to roll off like it does off of a duck's back, the fabric breathes to allow extra body heat and sweat to escape, thus keeping its wearer warm and dry but not overheated. It's ideal to wear through a round of golf on a blustery day.
In an ideal situation, a golfer's attire will keep him or her protected from the elements all over, from head to toe. Starting from the bottom, imagine having slacks that can withstand the splashes and splatters that are bound to occur during a stormy 18 holes. Your legs will benefit from the easy breathing fabric that provides warmth and comfort without absorbing any water.
Up top, a slight rain jacket that's durable enough to protect from a gusting cold wind without constricting the movement of your arms seems ideal. And the added protection against water from the Gore Tex is unbeatable.
Some might argue that style is more important than function, that it doesn't matter how well you do something as long as you look good doing it. Others will debate that the opposite is true, that appearance is far less significant than ability. And there are yet others who would suggest that optimum effectiveness results from a combination of both style and function. In the case of Galvin Green waterproofs for golfers, it could be argued that golfers who feel the confidence and comfort of properly fitting, weather-appropriate attire just might have an advantage to play a better game than others who aren't dressed as well.
For now Galvin Green Waterproofs are available from retailers and distributors in the UK and Northern Europe, places where golfers are prone to golf in inclement weather. Perhaps the availability will expand to other nations in the future.
