Why Choose Galvin Green? Part 2

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

To get the most out of your golf wear, 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 article I'll be concentrating on the Galvin Green selection that keeps you warm in cold conditions.

The Warm Tier
This might consist of 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 attributes:
- Totally windproof. Effectively protects against wind chill
- greatest breathability that allows moisture vapour to evaporate
- Thermoregulatory behaviour keeps the body at an optimum performance temperature
- superb 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 Facts about The Windstopper Membrane
The WINDSTOPPER Membrane is an ultra thin, totally windproof protective Tier which is laminated to a lightweight textile Tier. The Layer 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 Coat could also consist of any items in the Insula collection. The Insula collection could consist of any of the following garments:
- Drake Jacket
- Duke Sleeveless Jacket

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

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

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