GALVIN GREEN ACTION JACKET £449
If you have no issue playing in all weathers, then a quality waterproof jacket is a necessity. Galvin Green is a specialist in this category, making some of the best garments in the business, and the new Action is undoubtedly the most feature-packed waterproof jacket the Swedish brand has produced to date.
FUTURISTIC FABRICS
Totally waterproof and windproof thanks to the inclusion of the industryleading Gore-tex membrane, the Action jacket also incorporates a C-knit backer. This reduces friction with the layers underneath, allows it to slide on more easily and also increases breathability by 15 per cent. Whatever downpour you experience on the golf course, the Action jacket will keep water at bay while maximising comfort and not hindering the golf swing.
It fits well too, as you can adjust the cuffs, chest width and even collar width, all of which help to reduce the amount of excess material that could get in the way. To further assist with freedom of movement, Galvin Green has also introduced Gore-tex ‘Super Stretch’ inserts that provide extreme stretch into key areas like the back and elbows. We’ve all played in waterproofs that feel limiting, but with this stretchy fabric, the Action lets you focus on your game rather than worrying about losing distance or timing.
IDEAL FOR BAG CARRIERS
Another important feature is the extremely durable Techsteel fabric, which reinforces the shoulder and lower back areas for those who choose to carry their bags. Ecowarriors can also rest easy in the knowledge that this jacket forms part of the brand’s ‘Green in Galvin Green’ initiative, and is therefore made from Bluesign-approved fabrics.
While the Action jacket performs to the highest level, we think Galvin Green has really nailed the styling, too. It finds a way of being smart and modern with the subtle graphics around the shoulders and back sections bolstering the premium appeal. Galvin Green continues to deliver top-of-therange golf attire and the Action represents the next step in waterproof jacket performance. If you’re thinking of playing all year round and don’t want the weather to stop you, the Action has quite literally got you covered.
