[REVIEW] Galvin Green C-Knit AW18 ARGON Jacket and ARN Trousers.

Galvin Green C-KNIT Waterproofs.

 
Style - it's super subjective so I'll leave it. I like it, you may or may not.
 
 
I play all year round, 3/4 rounds a week at least so being in London I get caught in the rain a lot. 
 
 
I have used Nike Hyperadapt waterproofs before, but I felt like it was affecting my game. So I decided to bite the bullet and fork out £700 for what my research was showing as the best top layer available.
 
And oh boy.
 
 
Arrived in July, in a nice box. When I took it out my first thought was to send it back. 
I wasn't used to clothes weight that much. Or that little to be honest. So thin I was sure it will rip within 10minutes. And it had no pockets - something I've overlooked when making the purchase.
 
Luckily, or not, it rained pretty much instantly so I took the layer out, put it on top of my tee and ... I was dry. It was hot as hell (22-24oC / 72-74oF). I didn't sweat a lot more than in the polo itself... It stopped raining, i took it off. It started, i put it back on. 
 
0 interference with my swing. 
 
The C-Knit backing and sleeves take a little getting used to, but it doesn't take long. It's just something touching your neck and hands. I stopped noticing it after maybe 2 holes.
 
Now when it got colder, the rain got a little more annoying, but again, I put it over my pullover and couldn't be happier.
 
Same with the trousers. Easy to put on, comfortable both as a layer by themselves or on top of my golf trousers. 
 
The things i don't like - i keep it in my bag. It gets creased as hell. I'd love some sort of a 'storage' bag or smth that i could put the stuff into, but its not a biggie. 
 
And another non biggie - the bloody naming and variety of the product leaves me so confused. Even people at Capital Golf in the UK had no idea about the differences. But I guess it must be a Swedish thing cause Ikea does the same. Maybe there is some kind of a system to the naming system - like waterproofs start with "A" but i couldn't find anything to back that up.
 
I also got used to not having pockets in the jacket. It's so thin I'm not sure how they'd manage to put a pocket on it. 
 
It's a massive **5/5** and probably the best golf clothing purchase I've made. 
 
Any questions - ask.

I have to agree with golfjunkie nice review sometimes you have to pay for quality and looks like you got great quality there.

Thanks! My reviews are usually very short, and may not be super comprehensive, but there is a ton of reviews online. I'm trying to just cover the points that others have missed, or I was looking for and couldn't find.

 

And yes, the quality is incredible. I'm in the process of basically changing my whole wardrobe to Galvin Green; and maybe some other brands if I find the quality amazing.

That's coming from a guy that thought Nike DryFit tees were the bees knees and bought all of them in his size from a shop.

:) Most of them are still in the plastic. Will probably be donated somewhere ;d
