The Changes In Style And Function On The Golf Course In Galvin Green Waterproofs

A mere twenty years ago, devoted golfers willing to suffer the wet and cold of a rainy, windy course didn’t have a lot of choices in what to wear. To make it through 18 holes without getting soaked to the bone, layers of baggy sweaters and jackets were common. Neither particularly functional nor dazzling to look at, at least you could protect yourself, to some degree, from the elements. But modern day golfers have many more, and more practical, choices since the advent of Galvin Green Waterproofs.

No matter the skill level, most golfers are keenly aware of the importance of flexibility and mobility in the game, and what one wears while playing has a direct effect on his or her ability to flex and move freely. Equally important, when golfing in rain and wind, is keeping warm and dry. It’s possible to do both comfortably, to dress non-restrictively while protecting oneself from the elements.

Lightweight fabric is key, as is the ability to stay dry. Walking around a soaking course for several hours in a storm, it’s easy to work up a sweat even while getting doused on the outside by the drizzle from above. The Gore Tex fabric used in the creation of the waterproofs collection from Galvin Green’s offerings does the trick. It’s designed to release the heat and moisture from the inside while repelling the water from the outside.

Of course you’d like to stay dry from head to toe during the game. If you’ve got waterproofed slacks you’re more likely to avoid the effects from the splattering rain drops or the waterwheels reeling from the flying and rolling balls or swinging clubs.

A light cover, light enough to allow the free movement necessary for accurate strokes, yet durable enough to keep you warm in a harsh biting wind, is crucial. And the waterproofing quality of Gore Tex is key.

Some might argue that style is more important than function, that it doesn’t matter how well you do something as long as you look good doing it. Others will debate that the opposite is true, that appearance is far less significant than ability. And there are yet others who would suggest that optimum effectiveness results from a combination of both style and function. In the case of Galvin Green waterproofs for golfers, it could be argued that golfers who feel the confidence and comfort of properly fitting, weather-appropriate attire just might have an advantage to play a better game than others who aren’t dressed as well.

For now Galvin Green Waterproofs are available from retailers and distributors in the UK and Northern Europe, places where golfers are prone to golf in inclement weather. Perhaps the availability will expand to other nations in the future.
