STYLE: Galvin Green GameDay Collection Brings Sustainability & Performance

Boasting more than 30 years of playability expertise and a true passion for the game means Galvin Green brings design capability that few outerwear companies can match. Indeed, Galvin Green makes sure that tangible performance benefits are built into every detail of their new lightweight, high performance garments that deliver compatible layers designed to enable golfers to perform at their best even in the most extreme playing conditions.

So for 2021, Galvin Green wanted to make sure golfers’ could have the most enjoyable GameDay experience in a product that is sustainable.

ACTION C-KNIT ‘slide & glide’  Lined Jacket

The new GameDay range features the most advanced fabric technologies from around the world, as well as a dazzling array of the brand’s customary bright Springtime Yellow, Red and Blue colorways, matched with outfits offering comfort and style both on and off the golf course for men, women and juniors.

The established ‘Green in Galvin Green’ theme is taken to another level with the inclusion of more recycled and sustainable materials designed to last longer. Around 70% of the garments are now produced using environmental Bluesign approved fabric or certified by OEKO-TEX 100 to cover thread and buttons as well as fabric. Labels and packaging also come in eco-friendly formats.

“This new collection reflects our vision of GameDay being just about every day for the serious golfer and they can feel confident that we have gone the extra mile to give them the ultimate GameDay experience with the most advanced golf clothing range on the market,” said CEO Nicholai Stein. “As with every serious golfer, we never compromise on what we do or believe in. So, we’ve also taken our holistic approach to sustainability to another level, while enabling golfers to look great, feel special and perform at their peak whenever possible and whatever the weather,” he added.

DANTE Hoodie

Breaking down the different pieces in the collection, no fewer than 14 GORE-TEX jacket options are available in the latest waterproof range for Men, including a new full-zip SHAKEDRY jacket (ANGUS) that is even more flexible due to Superstretch panels across the back. The ANGUS also weighs merely 210g—less than 4 golf balls—and is equipped with an abrasion resistant fabric on the cuffs.

Offering extra warmth, the new C-KNIT ‘slide & glide’ lined jacket (ACTION) incorporates strengthened fabric on the shoulders and lower back for club-carrying golfers, plus Superstretch inserts on the back and elbows. Zippers finished with a carbon look distinguish the sporty ACE jacket.

Each of these jackets can be matched with five different GORE-TEX waterproof pant options, including the ALPHA with the C-KNIT ‘slide & glide’ lining to avoid friction with trousers worn underneath and available in several size options.

The popular APOLLO full-zip jacket line in ultra-lightweight GORE-TEX Paclite fabric has been extended to include three fresh colourway options, including White/Cool grey/Navy/Red, and a new streamlined half-zip jacket (ADEN) comes in Navy/White.

Other new INTERFACE-1 jackets that can be worn year round include the LUCAS, LOUIE and LANZO, which features top-quality PRIMALOFT padded inserts.

Among INSULA sweaters in 28 different options are the super stretchy DANTE hoodie featuring a neckline designed to remain stationary during the swing. The new DUKE and DOMINIC half-zip sweaters are made entirely from recycled plastic bottles in fabric woven in Italy, with padding on the shoulders for extra warmth. The DWIGHT style has undergone a facelift with new colors among seven variations, while the popular DIXON sweaters are also available in five color choices, including Red, Navy and Blue Bell.

Sharkskin has been added to the color choices in the NOAH and NIXON pairs, while the NIGEL trousers are made from a new extremely soft and stretchy Japanese warp knit fabric with a permanent crease.
