Why Wear Galvin Green? Part 2

Galvin Green is a leading supplier of Golf garments. They offer a full collection of apparel for all weather elements. The clothing selection is highly fashionable but at the same time highly practical in that it is specifically designed to work in unison with the golf swing.

Galvin Green's idea is a multi-layer concept whereby you can mix and match the items of clothing to cover all the elements can throw at you, whether it be hot, cool, windy or wet.

To get the most out of your golf garments, and your game, it is important to dress right - from the inside out. The key to comfort is layering, breathability and moisture transportation. Since the different layers work very closely together, thermoregulation is all about using the right materials in the right combination. This is what the Multi-Layer Concept is all about.

In this paper I'll be concentrating on the Galvin Green selection that keeps you warm in cold conditions.

The Warm Coat
This might be any of the Galvin Green garments in the Windstopper Soft Shell realm.

This includes any of the following jackets:
- Bedford Half Zip Jacket
- Bourne Jacket
- Bruce Jacket
- Buzz Jacket

The Windstopper Soft Shell range has the following facets:
- Totally windproof. Effectively protects against wind chill
- greatest breathability that permits moisture vapour to evaporate
- Thermoregulatory function keeps the body at a perfect performance temperature
- perfect fit and maximum freedom of movement as its been designed especially for golfers
- very hard wearing and long lasting
- is easily maintainable as you can machine wash it

Technical Points about The Windstopper Layer
The WINDSTOPPER Membrane is an ultra thin, totally windproof protective Layer which is laminated to a lightweight textile Coat. The Material 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 sweat to pass through unhindered.

The warm Layer could also consist of any garments in the Insula collection. The Insula range could consist of any of the following apparel:
- Drake Jacket
- Duke Sleeveless Jacket

The Insula series has the following properties:
- sublime thermal insulation properties keep the body warm and comfortable
- best breathability that enables the release of excess heat and body vapour.
- Soft, stretchy and snug fitting garments, specially developed for golfers.
- Perfect intermediate Coat under a Gore-Tex or a WINDSTOPPER jacket.
- is easily maintainable as you can machine wash it

Technical Facts about The Insula Fabric
Insula apparel are tight-fitting with a 'waffle pattern' interior. The Layer has built-in air chambers which are warmed by the body heat and provide extremely effective and long-lasting thermal insulation.

This concludes this article on the Galvin Green Warm Layer. Next week I will be discussing the Galvin Green Skintight Tier and how this is designed to function in combination with the Galvin Green Warm Tier garments.
