The Changes In Style And Function In Golf In Galvin Green Waterproofs
In the not so distant past, golfers just didn’t have the apparel choices they have today, particularly golfers in cold and rainy climates. To stay dry and warm, common sense dictated layering oneself in a sweater, maybe two, and a jacket. It was a bulky combination to be sure, and not one conducive to easy movement or flexibility. Perhaps it would help you stay dry, but today it’s possible to do so in a much more comfortable and fashionable way. The range of choices has increased since Galvin Green Waterproofs have been on the market.
Whether you’re new to golf or an avid enthusiast, anyone who’s swung a club knows you need clothing that is comfortable, flexible, and non-constricting. Playing the sport in a wet and windy climate, it’s also necessary to maintain warmth and dryness, but without being bogged down.
Gore Tex is a water repellent, lightweight fabric that all Galvin Green Waterproofs are made from. Not only does Gore Tex cause water to roll off like it does off of a duck’s back, the fabric breathes to allow extra body heat and sweat to escape, thus keeping its wearer warm and dry but not overheated. It’s ideal to wear through a round of golf on a blustery day.
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.
Up top, a slight rain jacket that’s durable enough to protect from a gusting cold wind without constricting the movement of your arms seems ideal. And the added protection against water from the Gore Tex is unbeatable.
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.
Golfers throughout the UK and Northern Europe have access to the comfort and design of Galvin Green Waterproofs. With some luck, golfers in other parts of the world will, too.
