]]>We take a more detailed look at the Galvin Green Action jacket. The new C-Knit Technology which is the latest waterproof innovation to be engineered by Galvin Green.
At Original Green we often get asked, “Why is the Action Jacket more expensive than the others in the collection?”
We hope the comment from Golf Monthly at the bottom of this article helps to explain why the Action jacket is more costly, but there are a few additional reasons. Let's start with the technology: the Galvin Green Action C-KNIT™ Gore-Tex waterproof jacket includes Galvin Green's cutting-edge C-KNIT™ Gore-Tex super-stretch 3-layer fabric and has a full zip. The new 3-layer fabric is made using C-KNIT™ Japanese technology, which makes the garment softer and quieter.
Let's take a closer look at the Gore-Tex Super stretch inserts. These very flexible panels, which are made up of several small hexagons and are located on the back, elbows, and shoulders, allow maximum freedom of movement so you don't lose distance or time when trying to perform that vital shot in a heavy downfall. The C-Knit backer, with its super-smooth surface that decreases friction with the clothing underneath and makes it easier to slide your arms in fast if an unexpected shower comes in, is another feature that aids maximise movement.
The strengthened Techsteel parts on the shoulders and lower back, which give added durability in regions put under stress when walking with your bag, will also appeal to bag carriers. Even on a cold day, carrying your clubs around might cause you to sweat, but the Action jacket's breathability ensures you don't overheat.
You can also create a snug, but still unrestrictive fit too, which eliminates excess fabric getting in the way with the adjustable cuffs (specifically shaped for a golfer’s needs), adjustable chest width via the Velcro straps under the armpits, and even a drawstring that adjusts the collar width to help prevent water entry down the back of your neck.
Finally, front pockets top off what is a functional and convenient garment, equipped with all the features a golfer needs to play their best in the rain. It’s windproof and looks the part too, so you may well find yourself wearing it more than you think which is exactly what you want from a garment with a premium price tag.
The Galvin Green Action jacket can be paired with the Alpha Gore-Tex waterproof trousers, Daxton Insula half zip for warmth, and the pro-looking Max Tour VENTIL8+ polo shirt, as well as the fashionable Dex snood, to combat the wintery circumstances you can be tested in. This outfit pieced together will keep you warm, dry, and comfortable, leaving you free to concentrate on your game.
“Clearly no stone has been left unturned in creating the Action jacket. The features included will genuinely make a difference to a golfer's mindset when playing in the rain, embracing the challenge rather than dreading it, because they will be properly equipped to take it on.” – Five Star Review, Golf Monthly.

Here at Original Green, we know that living in the United Kingdom weather can be very unpredictable especially rainfall. It can strike at any time of the year, from a cool summer evening to what was forecast to be a crisp, dry winter afternoon. It’s a sad reality, but back in 1978, us Brits were handed a new weapon in the battle against wet weather. It was called Gore-Tex. Which is a brand name for a waterproof, windproof, breathable, durable fabric, designed by WL Gore &
Associates in 1969. A “breathable” fabric is one that stops liquid water getting in, but let’s the water vapour out.
It's often found in the best waterproof jackets, such as our Galvin Green Waterproof collection which is up there at the very top of the market leading in high quality waterproofs.
Galvin Green Gore-Tex, contains a membrane made up of 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 vapour molecule. This allows the Gore-Tex to be completely waterproof from the outside elements, while also allowing the moisture to escape from the inside. The Gore-Tex membrane is bonded to an anti-abrasion outer layer to protect it. This outer layer then has a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) applied to it. The DWR stops the outer layer becoming saturated with water, which would prevent water-vapour getting out, reducing the breathability and causing damp patches on the inside of the fabric. This basic construction is a “2-layer” waterproof fabric. If an inner layer is also bonded to the Gore-Tex membrane, it creates a more durable “3-layer” fabric.
If you want to get the very best out of your waterproofs, then you need to be taking the right care for them, however sometimes it’s not always clear how you go about that. With Galvin Green Gore-Tex, you know you have a product of the highest quality that deserves looking after. Here is our Galvin Green care guide.
Store your Galvin Green Waterproofs in a dry environment at home when not in use.
Follow these key washing points, so you can maintain your Galvin Green waterproofs and keep them looking at their very best.
Follow this Galvin Green care guide carefully to keep your Gore-Tex waterproofs looking and feeling as good as the day you bought them.
What sets the Galvin Green apart from the competition is that they are one of only a few brands to use the Gore-Tex material. Gore-Tex is fully waterproof however it’s great attribute is that it is also breathable, and it keeps the water out while also letting out perspiration at the same time. The standard Gore-Tex is very durable and has a slightly thicker feel to it, but it is soft and smooth which provides a comfortable garment to wear.
The Gore-Tex Paclite is also hard wearing and comfortable to wear but it is much lighter than the standard Gore-Tex. This seems to be preferred by the more professional player as you have a bit more freedom of movement when playing Golf. From our experience the Paclite is not quite as warm to wear as the standard Gore-Tex as they often have a thicker layer to keep you warmer.
The stretch material is still a Gore-Tex garment but the clever guys at Galvin Green have managed to develop a four way stretch which is comfortable to wear. Especially when playing golf it allows you to swing freely. All the Galvin Green waterproof trousers will have a zip at the bottom of the trouser and they also all have an elasticated waist for a fast and easy way to wear.
Galvin Green Andy Men’s Gore-Tex waterproof Golf Trouser are the top-selling option from Galvin Green and are continued yet again for another season. They are designed using Gore-Tex fabric with a solid lining to keep you dry and comfortable in the worst conditions.
Featuring a clever design and reinforced fabric for strengthened inner leg seams and exceptional durability, these trousers are a must have item.
The extremely popular Arthur Gore-Tex Paclite waterproof trousers are back again for another season. Weighing only 320g they are very lightweight at and come in a great range of sizes and 2 smart colour choices.
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 vapour molecule, which makes Gore-Tex membrane completely waterproof from the outside, while allowing moisture to escape from the inside.

The new line has 3 different models - the CodeChaos, CodeChaos BOA and CodeChaos Sport - which come in a variety of colours but all 3 share technology which help you perform at your best.
First is the new "TwistGrip" traction system which is a TPU insert placed in the front section of the soft rubber outsole. adidas analysed heat maps of golfers' swings to gain a better understanding of how weight was distributed and shifted during the swing. They then implemented this knowledge in to the design of the TwistGrip sole to maximise traction and the foundations for the CodeChaos range were set. With the TwistGrip insert strategically placed, you can rest assured that with the adidas CodeChaos golf shoes on your feet, you will feel as steady as ever throughout your swing.

]]>Introducing the new 2019 Galvin Green Waterproof collection. First of all, we should point out to any keen golfers who may not be aware already, that all Galvin Green waterproof jackets and waterproof trousers feature GORE-TEX and come with a lifetime waterproof guarantee. As for the 2019 collection itself, the same key jacket types remain – providing an option for almost any preference – with fresh new colour combinations.
Unlike other waterproofing methods, GORE-TEX is a membrane which sits within the fabric meaning it is not exposed to the elements. The 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 vapour molecule, which makes the membrane completely waterproof from the outside, while allowing moisture (sweat) to escape from the inside.
Galvin Green use a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) on the outer layer of their golf jackets and pants. This treatment causes water to bead and prevents the outer layer from becoming wet, which would reduce the breathability of the whole garment. However, the DWR is not responsible for the garment being waterproof. Without the DWR, the outer layer would become soaked and there would be no breathability, leading to the wearers sweat failing to evaporate and dampness to form from the inside. This may give the appearance of the waterproof jacket or pants leaking, but it is not. Wear and cleaning will reduce the performance of the GORE-TEX fabric by wearing away the DWR treatment. Should this happen, tumble drying the garment will re-invigorate the DWR coating and the jacket/pants would perform like new.
At the pinnacle of GORE-TEX performance you have the Galvin Green Archie jacket which features the brilliant C-KNIT backer. If you prefer a soft feel, then this is the jacket for you. The C-KNIT fabric will “slide and glide” over any clothing item you are wearing beneath it in order to offer a quiet, soft jacket which allows a full range of motion. The same waterproof protection and breathability is assured whilst the non-stick feel is sure to impress. An adjustable collar width is designed to prevent water from seeping inside the jacket from your neck, ensuring you are covered from all angles.
The Galvin Green Aaron is the latest addition to feature GORE-TEX stretch fabrics with a full mesh lining. This full zip jacket has a colour block design which really pops in a couple of the colour combinations but has a more subtle look in the Black/Sharkskin and Navy/White variations. One of the things golfers hate about wearing waterproof jackets is how restricted they feel when wearing them. Thanks to stretch fabrics, the Aaron jacket ensures you can swing freely and don’t need to worry about feeling restricted any more. Two front pockets and two inner chest pockets provide plenty of storage to keep your valuables dry and safe from water damage, no matter how torrential the rain may be.
For those golfers seeking a lightweight, packable waterproof jacket, the Galvin Green Andres may be exactly what you are looking for. Constructed using GORE-TEX Paclite technology stretch fabrics, this Galvin Green full zip jacket is ultra light and ultra packable. Featuring the same waterproof guarantee as the other jackets in the range, the Andres really comes in to its own when weight and space are critical. Similarly to the Galvin Green Aaron jacket, the Andres features a colour block design which really pops in multiple colour combinations, whilst the black jacket caters to those who prefer a more subtle look.
The Galvin Green Ashton is the first golf waterproof jacket to feature the brand new Shakedry technology. The revolutionary construction without a conventional face fabric makes water bead up and roll right off the surface. The result of this is minimal chilling effect, hugely reduced dry-off time and therefore significantly improved breathability. The inside of this garment is equipped with a functional backer textile for next-to-skin comfort while the quiet GORE-TEX membrane as the outer surface eliminates all friction in the golf swing, maximising club head speed. The Ashton jacket weighs approximately 174 grams making it one of the lightest available on the market, yet still offers the infamous Galvin Green lifetime waterproof guarantee. We know the design isn’t going to be for everybody, but this waterproof golf jacket gets a big yes from us!
And finally, GORE-TEX waterproof golf trousers. Galvin Green have decided to keep their waterproof trousers the same, sticking with the Arthur (Paclite) and Andy (with full lining) for this collection. If it’s not broken, don’t fix it, right? Featuring all the waterproof capabilities and breathability as the rest of their waterproof range, you really can’t go wrong with either of these pants.

]]>Nobody can underestimate the importance of a good polo shirt. For many, it's the first thing they consider when planning an outfit, and it's the first thing they notice when you step on to the first tee. Aside from being aesthetically pleasing, golf shirts need to perform athletically too in order to keep us playing at our peak potential.
This is something which Ted clearly understands. The range of Ted Baker golf shirts for Autumn/Winter offers a plethora of eye-catching designs with funky prints and bright colour combinations, whilst maintaining the performance we all demand on the course.
Ted Baker golf shirts maintain a consistent fit across the whole range, which makes life a whole lot easier when updating your wardrobe. Quite often, brands will attempt to offer a variety of different fits and lack the consistency across the range of styles, which sometimes makes it difficult to choose the right size, especially when shopping online. However, the beauty of the Ted Baker golf shirts collection is that once you know your size, you can rest assured you will be the same size in every polo shirt across the range.
Two of our favourite print shirts this season include the Gilbeys print which features a palm tree pattern which really pops, whilst the Putting polo shirt has a much more subtle v shape print throughout.
For those who prefer a more reserved design, the Bunka polo is a winner. A textured fabric paired with the contrast piping around the placket and collar provides just the right amount of detailing to look great without being overly in-your-face.
We have been thoroughly impressed with the new range of Ted Baker polo shirts and we are sure you will love the fit, comfort and performance that they offer too.

]]>adidas Golf released their latest additions to their TOUR360 golf shoe franchise this month, with the unveiling of the TOUR360 XT and TOUR360 XT SL - their first-ever spikeless version of the shoe. These X-shaped lugs provide more stability and can react with better traction through uneven lies due to their eight-sided touch points with the ground.
According to adidas, players will be able to feel even more locked in throughout the swing as a result, allowing the lugs to react to any conditions a player might encounter. The underlying thread between all three models is this X-shaped traction system to provide the best grip without sacrificing any comfort. The entire outsole features the X-Traxion lug system, strategically placed so players get the comfort of spikeless while still maintaining the grip they expect from a high-performance shoe.
adidas golf shoes have always been a popular choice for many golfers, but the introduction of their new sole design will probably see golfing loyalists move away from competitor brands to experience the technological benefits.]]>The 14-time major champion came close to No. 15 and his first in 10 years this Sunday at the PGA Championship at Bellerive. Ultimately, Brooks Koepka was too much.
Woods would fire an electric 6-under 64 to rocket into solo second at 14 under and finish two back of Koepka. Are we soon about to welcome one of golf's greatest players back to the winners circle? Only time will tell....
