Galvin Green Shakedry | Lightweight Waterproofs

We take a closer look at the range of Galvin Green Shakedry waterproofs which features the most cutting edge technology in golf apparel.

Galvin Green are pioneers when it comes to protective golf apparel and their latest offering of golf waterproofs features the latest, most innovative GORE-TEX fabric available.

According to the brand, the introduction of SHAKEDRY™ Technology to their arsenal has enabled them to produce their lightest, most packable jackets to date.

This pioneering fabric is already a proven performer across other outdoor sportswear markets with a reputation for being extremely breathable, super lightweight, soft to the touch and ultra quiet for minimal distraction.

It also boasts a high amount of stretch for maximum freedom of movement, while a functional backer textile on the inside provides close-to-the-skin comfort.

On top of the obvious comfort benefits, the traditional membrane interior from a Gore-Tex jacket has been relocated to the exterior (without a conventional face fabric) - hence meaning that water absorption is eradicated, the chilling effect is negated and dry-off time is drastically reduced.

Durably waterproof, windproof, and extremely breathable - this new GORE-TEX membrane contains over 1.4 billion microscopic pores per square cm. These pores are 20,000 times smaller than a water droplet, but 700 times larger than a water vapor molecule.

This makes the GORE-TEX membrane completely waterproof from the outside, while allowing perspiration to escape from the inside. GORE-TEX SHAKEDRY™ technology is engineered to minimize friction and maximize speed.

The revolutionary construction makes the water droplets bead up and roll right off the surface - hence the ability to "shake dry".

This season, you can also find their top-of-the-range SHAKEDRY jacket with some even more tech.

The "Angus" Shakedry style now boasts some "Superstretch" inserts; high stretch capacity inserts which optimise movement without compromising on waterproof performance.

Of course, fans of the brand will already know all about this technology - having previously featured within their most recent C-Knit waterproof jacket range.
