VERDICT

Galvin Green’s Interface-1 collection continues to impress. This half-zip option is easy to slide on thanks to the soft inner fabric and fits snugly, ensuring no excess material around the torso impedes the swing. This is helped by the elasticated waist and wrist sections. The high level of waterproof protection makes it a feasible option for all but the heaviest of downpours – water beads off the outer fabric quickly, leaving no visible trace behind.

The stretchiness of the material is pretty incredible considering how thin it is, and this allows it to be combined easily with other layers, either underneath or on top. The wind resistance also helps keep the winter chill at bay. A lack of pockets would be our one minor criticism.
