Galvin Green’s spring/summer 2015 collection
Sweden-based golf apparel manufacturer, Galvin Green, has unveiled its wide-ranging spring/summer 2015 collection.
The company, “a pure golf brand,” which has set the standard in golf outerwear in Europe for the past two decades, expanded to the U.S. market last year, aspiring to outfit “the serious golfer.”
Regarding their offerings, the company says, “Each detail exists because the game demands it and there is never any compromise on the quality of materials or the functional design of golf wear styled for all climatic conditions.”
With this collection, “styled for all climatic conditions,” Galvin Green continues to explore the “multi-layer concept,” offering garments in five basic color families.
Here’s a full breakdown of Galvin Green’s spring/summer ’15 lineup, presented by layer.
Outer protection: shell layer
featuring GORE-TEX, GORE-TEX Paclite, and WINDSTOPPER technologies
Galvin Green offers the totally waterproof, lined, highly breathable APEX full-zip jacket with GORE-TEX stretch fabric and mesh lining. The AMOS jacket and the ART jacket (half-zip), also with GORE-TEX stretch fabric, are the most heavy-duty outerwear. All are available in sizes small to at least 3XL (some to 4XL).
Weighing just 240 grams (or about five golf balls), Galvin Green’s shell layers with GORE-TEX Paclite technology are for slightly warmer conditions, but offer the same waterproof protection as the jackets above. Again, the company offers jackets with and without stretch fabric, the ARON and the minimal ALISTER. Similar to the heavier jackets above, Galvin Green also offers a half-zip jacket with the Paclite technology: the ALVIN. These, too, are available from small to at least 3XL.


Galvin Green also implements the Paclite technology in three half-sleeve jackets: the AKRON, AIR, and uniquely patterned ARCHIE.

Those hoping for a departure from the traditional black rain pant will be happy to see Galvin Green’s AUGUST pants, which also feature the Paclite material. The pants are available in electric red, midnight blue, gunmetal gray, and, of course, black. All are available in short, standard, and long lengths. In all lengths, sizes range from small to at least XL, with sizes up to 3XL available in black.
New this season, the ALF stretch trouser is equipped with GORE-TEX stretch fabric to allow for a greater freedom of movement. The ALF stretch also offers a slimmer silhouette than the traditional ALF, which is still available. All come in short, standard, and long lengths from sizes small to at least 3XL.

In addition to the rainwear featuring GORE-TEX technology, Galvin Green also implement’s Gore’s WINDSTOPPER technology in its long-sleeve, full-zip BOURNE jackets, which are water resistant (not waterproof) and windproof. The company also offers roughly the same jacket in a half zip (BANKS), and a full-zip vest (BOND). Sizes range from small to 3XL here, too.

Thermal regulation: warm layer/cool layer
featuring Galvin Green’s INSULA and VENTIL8 technologies
Galvin Green’s intermediate layer features the company’s INSULA technology, which has been improved this year with a thinner softer fiber structure. The full-zip DUSTIN, which is available in three colors, is the company’s heat-regulating benchmark garment. Also available: a half-zip (DEX), a full-zip vest (DENZEL), and a half-zip vest (DRAKE). The fabric is a 90 percent polyester/10% elastane blend. All are available in sizes small to 3XL.
The company also offers an array of knitted wool blend sweaters and vests for a more traditional approach to warmth, the vast majority of which can be obtained in sizes from small to 3XL (the COOPER wool/acrylic blend vest only goes up to XXL).
From warming to cooling, Galvin Green’s VENTIL8 polos feature the company’s breathable, anti-bacterial, UV protection technology to keep golfers cool and dry. The SS15 line includes a total of 18 VENTIL8 polos in three different designs, most within the five color families outlined earlier. All are 100 percent polyester and available in sizes small to at least XXL (some to 3XL).


In addition, the collection includes an additional 24 cotton/polyester blend polos in a range of styles. These, too, are offered from small to XXL.
Galvin Green has your lower half covered as well, of course, offering three models of VENTIL8 trousers, the NED, NATE, and NEASON. The NED is a more traditional cut pant and it’s available in nine colors, from the boilerplate khaki to the more exotic electric red and grape. All of the SS15 trousers are 100% polyester stretch material and feature elastic waistbands. The range of available sizes is extensive, so you don’t have to be the stereotypical European beanpole to find pants that fit well.

The collection also includes shorts and patterned polyester blend trousers to cover all your sartorial bases.
Dry comfort: base layer
featuring Galvin Green’s SKINTIGHT technology.
For wear underneath the abundance of garments above, Galvin Green suggests either compression or thermal layers and offers SKINTIGHT compression and SKINTIGHT thermal accordingly.

The SKINTIGHT compression garments are designed to enhance circulation and thus improve muscle stamina and performance. Galvin Green offers compression tops in both black and white, as well as tights up to XXL. Likewise, SKINTIGHT thermals to keep you warm. All are made from a polyester/elastane blend.
Accessories
Given the comprehensive nature of the spring/summer range so far, you won’t be surprised to find that Galvin Green offers a wealth of accessory options to complement their outerwear.
In the headwear department, the company implements GORE-TEX Paclite technology in wide-brimmed golf hats (AURA), the shorter-brimmed ANT, and the traditional baseball cap, ABEL. All are available in multiple colors. Knit caps with WINDSTOPPER technology and three with INSULA fabric round out the headwear offerings. Standard polyester baseball caps are available, too—in seven colors.
In addition, Galvin Green offers mitts, cold-weather gloves, neckwarmers and wristwarmers—the latter with INSULA technology—to insure you’re fully prepared to play in the most miserable of conditions.
And if you’re really looking to go with Galvin Green from head to toe, you’re in luck: the company is adding performance golf socks this year.
Presently expanding aggressively in the United States, Galvin Green’s products are available in finer pro shops and exclusively online through TrendyGolf.com. The ’14 collection is presently available for sale there.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report
This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.
Joel Thelen
Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.
First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.





Mitchell Meissner
Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”

The best waterproofs bar none. You stay dry full stop. Expensive but my Galvin jacket is 6 years old and still totally waterproof and looks almost new. Consider them as an investment as they will last for years and see off any rival suit.
