The Multi-Layer Concept by Galvin Green has been specially developed to improve comfort and performance. How the layering concept really works is best conveyed by the people who wear the garments every day, in all weather conditions. Meet four professional golfers from Team Galvin Green.
The comfort provided by the Multi-Layer Concept is greatly appreciated among the tour players. Peter Hanson emphasizes the importance of freedom of movement when wearing several layers.
“For me the Multi-Layer Concept is very useful, especially when I’m playing in the UK. Even if I'm wearing several layers, it gives me total freedom of movement in the swing.”
Thorbjørn Olesen points out the advantages of having access to a full range of hi-tech garments, designed to match and function in combination.
“I play in all sorts of different weather conditions, so I need something for everything. Comfort and looks are extremely important. I need to feel good on the course and I certainly do with Galvin Green clothing. Also, the garments need to perform well – keep me warm when it’s cold and keep me cool on those really hot days. Durability is important, too. I’m wearing the clothes all the time, so they need to last. Galvin Green covers everything for me.”
To feel comfortable and be able to rely on the garments is essential. Caroline Masson believes that the layering concept helps the players focus on their game.
“The greatest benefit of the Multi-Layer Concept is that, no matter in what weather conditions I’m playing, I always have the perfect garment to, on the one hand keep my body dry and at a good temperature and, on the other hand, keep my flexibility and freedom of movement. This
allows me to concentrate fully on my game.”
The key to comfort is layering, breathability and moisture transportation. Since the different layers in the Multi-Layer Concept work intimately together, thermal regulation is all about using the right materials in the right combination. Caroline Masson chooses to bring a complete set of garments with her to the golf course before deciding what to wear.
“Usually I bring all layers and then decide what I’ll need depending on the weather forecast. In cold and rainy weather I always wear an INSULA™ pullover because it keeps me warm, and if it rains a GORE-TEX® Paclite® Shell waterproof jacket, which keeps me dry and gives me great
freedom of movement.”
Product development is an ever-present feature at Galvin Green. Advanced materials and clever functions are part of the policy to never compromise. A key factor in the innovation process is that all garments are designed exclusively for golf – by golfers, for golfers.
“The company and the collection have grown a lot, and the products have improved dramatically over the last ten years. The combination of comfort and design is absolutely outstanding,”
says Peter Hanson. Jamie Donaldson agrees:
“Every year the collection develops, it gets better and better. Product development at Galvin Green is just amazing.”
Galvin Green garments are not only appreciated by the Team Galvin Green players themselves, but among their competitors on the tour as well.
“I get lots of comments from other players,” Jamie Donaldson says. “Galvin Green is different. And it's better. Golf fashion today is a lot about function and design, and Galvin Green stands out in this respect.”
Peter Hanson shares the same experience:
“First of all, everyone wants to wear the Galvin Green waterproofs and, secondly, I hear from my fellow professionals that they really like the breadth of the collection.”
The benefits of the Multi-Layer Concept are undisputed among the professional players. Or, as Jamie Donaldson puts it succinctly:
“It feels great and it looks great. I love every part of it.”
