A Look at Galway Bay Hybrid Series

GolfSpy_APH · February 11

Back when we had the MGS special with Galway Bay Rain gear I took advantage of it and got the hybrid series vest and jacket.

I was ecstatic to get this set as I had been needing new rain gear, but this is my favourite type of jacket. I ordered medium for both as I am traditionally always a medium. I have another Galway Bay jacket that is a medium and it also fits great so it was all a basic no brainer.

Let's get into it - the sizes for this series are small. Almost too small. Wearing them by themselves is okay, but snug. However it is not possible to wear them together.

Hindsight I should have ordered a large, but also they are not so small that it is uncomfortable. I have been able get good swings and practice in with these and while I find it comfortable I also find it a shade restrictive. The same goes for the jacket. I love the material, feel and purpose of the hybrid jacket however for a full round I don't think this would do the trick.

I also wanted to note that comfort itself is great, the larger issue is its just too snug to wear anything underneath other than maybe a shirt. As a hybrid jacket my feeling was I would like to weather this in slightly cooler temps so maybe a quarter zip or something along those lines. However it just isn't possible with a medium.

In the end maybe I should have bought a large, but having other Galway Bay gear and knowing the sizes from previous jackets I didn't think twice about ordering a medium. I should have changed to a large, but at this point it is on me so now i have a nice jacket to wear around and in very specific conditions. Which is a little too bad.

I will have photos and more coming soon!
