When the heavens open on a British golf course, the difference between a ruined round and a comfortable one usually comes down to one piece of kit: your waJacketof jacket. For more than four decades, Galvin Green has been the brand serious golfers reach for, and a good Galvin Green Waterproof Jacket is widely regarded as the benchmark against which every other waterproof jacket is measured. This guide walks you through the full men’s range so you can choose the right one with confidence.

Galvin Green is a premium, top-end brand, and the prices reflect that. What you are paying for is genuinely class-leading waterproofing, breathability that keeps you dry from the inside and the outside, and a cut engineered specifically for the golf swing. Throughout this guide, we compare five Galvin Green waterproof Jackets, explain the fabric technologies behind them, and help you decide which model suits your game, your climate, and your budget. You will find the full collection on our Galvin Green brand page and in the wider golf waterproofs department.

Our PGA professional team has tested and fitted Galvin Green for years, and PGA professional Mark Crossfield has filmed a dedicated sizing video to help you nail the fit first time. We will share his advice in full, alongside detailed feature breakdowns, comparison tables, a buying guide, and answers to the questions golfers most frequently ask before investing in the Best Galvin Green Waterproof Jacket for their needs. If you already own Galvin Green tops, this range pairs naturally with the brand’s Galvin Green golf shirts.

Why Galvin Green Sets the Standard

Galvin Green is a Swedish brand that has specialised in performance golf clothing since 1991, and its reputation was built on waterproofing. The company supplies the European Ryder Cup team and is worn by professionals on tour, which speaks volumes about the level of trust placed in its weather protection. When you pull on a Galvin Green waterproof Jacket, you are wearing the same standard of kit the best players in the world rely on when conditions turn.

Three things separate Galvin Green from cheaper alternatives. First, the waterproofing is uncompromising. The jacket in this guide is rated 100% waterproof and windproof, not merely water-resistant. Second, the breathability is exceptional, so you stay dry from perspiration during an active round rather than feeling clammy inside a sealed shell. Third, the cut is designed around the golf swing, with shaped sleeves and repositioned seams that move with you rather than restricting your swing.

The entire range is now PFAS-free, meaning the water-repellent finish is achieved without the “forever chemicals” being phased out across the outdoor industry. It is a sign of a brand investing in responsible, long-term performance rather than cutting corners. If you want to explore beyond jackets, the matching men’s waterproof trousers complete the system, and a good pair of golf rain gloves keeps your hands dry and your grip secure.

Galvin Green Sizing & Fit Guide

The most common question we get about Galvin Green waterproofs is sizing, so Mark Crossfield filmed a dedicated video trying on the jackets. The short version: Galvin Green is cut with a neat, slightly tailored European fit, so think carefully about how much room you want underneath before you choose your size.

Mark’s key point is that this is a neat-fitting jacket by design. As he puts it, “I quite like my jacket to be fit, I don’t want bits hanging off me when I’m swinging, I want it to feel like another tight layer, because remember Galvin Green as well is about layering up.” If you wear a jumper or mid-layer underneath, the close-cut works in your favour rather than making it feel baggy.

Galvin Green Aston Full-Zip Jacket (Best Galvin Green Waterproof Jacket)

The Aston is our pick for the Best Galvin Green Waterproof Jacket in the range, and the reason is simple: it is the only genuine Galvin Green Gore-Tex Jacket here, yet at £229 it is also the most affordable. That combination of the most trusted waterproof membrane in the outdoor world at the lowest price in the line-up makes it an exceptional value.

Design Philosophy

The Aston is built around Bluesign-approved, PFAS-free GORE-TEX ePE fabric, which delivers 100% waterproof and windproof protection with the breathability Gore-Tex is famous for: a lightweight mesh lining and a soft, recycled polyester outer. The jacket has excellent drape, so it hangs and moves like a far less technical garment. The Gore-Tex lining also traps a little warmth without bulk, making the Aston a smart choice for cooler, wetter rounds.

Who Should Buy This?

• Golfers who want proven Gore-Tex protection without paying the top-tier price
• Players in cold, wet climates who appreciate a little extra warmth
• Anyone who values sustainability and a lifetime waterproof guarantee

Galvin Green Akron Full-Zip Jacket

The Akron is the most eco-focused Galvin Green Waterproof Jacket in the line-up and the only model with an adjustable hood, which makes it a strong all-rounder for golfers who want extra head protection when the rain is really coming down. Made from 100% recycled polyester with PERTEX Shield technology, it delivers full waterproof protection in a lightweight package at £259.

Design Philosophy

The Akron pairs PERTEX Shield with a PFAS-free water-repellent finish for 100% waterproof and windproof performance without the bulk. The standout is its sustainability: the jacket is made from recycled polyester, appealing to golfers who want premium protection with a lighter environmental footprint. Repositioned seams improve comfort, while the breathable construction keeps internal moisture down during active rounds.

Who Should Buy This?

• Golfers who want a hood for the wettest, windiest days
• Eco-conscious players who prioritise recycled materials
• Anyone wanting lightweight, full waterproof protection under £260

Galvin Green Adam Half-Zip Jacket

The Adam is the only half-zip in the range, and that design choice gives it a distinct role. A half-zip pulls on over a mid-layer like a windproof sweater, so it is ideal for golfers who want a quick, lightweight waterproof cover for showers rather than a full storm shell. At £289, it uses Galvin Green’s stretchiest PERTEX Shield Stretch fabric for outstanding freedom of movement.

Design Philosophy

Crafted from a stretch polyamide and elastane fabric with PERTEX Shield Stretch, the Adam combines waterproof, windproof and highly breathable performance with a soft, stretchy feel that follows your swing. The interior is smooth for easy layering, and the minimalist half-zip silhouette is one of the cleanest looks in the range. Adjustable cuffs, chest-width tab, and an elastic drawstring hem let you fine-tune the fit.

Who Should Buy This?

• Golfers who prefer a half-zip to layer over a sweater or mid-layer
• Players who prioritise stretch and freedom of movement
• Anyone wanting a lightweight cover for showers rather than all-day storms

Galvin Green Arlo Full-Zip Jacket

The Arlo sits at the top of the range alongside the Andrew, representing Galvin Green’s no-compromise approach to waterproof performance. At £349, it uses DRYVR technology with PERTEX Shield Stretch, the brand’s most advanced combination of full waterproofing and genuine four-way stretch, for golfers who refuse to let their kit restrict the swing.

Design Philosophy

Built with DRYVR technology and PERTEX Shield Stretch, the Arlo delivers complete weather protection while staying light, flexible and highly breathable. The stretch fabric and shaped sleeves let you swing freely even when fully zipped, while repositioned side seams improve comfort over a long round. Inside, a smooth slide-and-glide lining makes layering effortless, and the jacket grabs as you move. It is fully waterproof, windproof and PFAS-free.

Who Should Buy This?

• Golfers who want the most flexible, stretchiest waterproof Galvin Green makes
• Players who value colour choice and a premium feel
• Anyone who plays year-round and wants the best of the range

Galvin Green Andrew Full-Zip Jacket

The Andrew shares the same flagship DRYVR and PERTEX Shield Stretch construction as the Arlo at £349, so the choice between the two largely comes down to colour and styling. It is aimed squarely at serious, all-weather competitors who need dependable protection that will not compromise comfort or freedom of movement, whatever the forecast.

Design Philosophy

Like the Arlo, the Andrew uses advanced DRYVR technology with PERTEX Shield Stretch for complete weather protection in a lightweight, flexible, breathable jacket. The stretch construction and shaped sleeves allow a natural, unrestricted swing in wet and windy conditions, while repositioned side seams add comfort. Adjustable cuffs, chest tabs and an elasticated drawcord hem keep the elements out, and the slide-and-glide lining makes layering simple.

Who Should Buy This?

• All-weather competitors who play through everything the season throws at them
• Golfers who prefer classic black or navy styling
• Players who want flagship DRYVR performance in an understated look

Galvin Green Waterproof Technology Explained

Galvin Green uses three core fabric technologies across this range. Understanding the difference helps explain why a Galvin Green Gore-Tex Jacket feels different to a DRYVR or PERTEX Shield model, and which is right for you.

Most Trousers have Zip Bottoms

The post Top 5 Best Mens Waterproof Golf Trousers Under £100 appeared first on The Golf Shop Online Blog.

In this buyers guide by The Golf Shop we will help you choose which waterproof trousers would suit you the best from the current Galvin Green range and point out the features of each style. All of the trousers are fully waterproof and are guaranteed to keep you dry, however firstly we feel you should be aware of some of the technical terms and features to guide you in your choice of trouser.

Gore-Tex

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.

Gore-Tex Paclite

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.

Stretch Material

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 really comfortable to wear. Especially when playing golf it allows you to swing freely.

All of 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 Trouser

Galvin Green Andy Mens Gore-Tex Waterproof Golf Trousers 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.

Galvin Green make some of the best golf waterproofs in the world and they have an extensive range but how do you know which one to buy.

Within this buyers guide we will try and help you make the best choice and guide you to a jacket that you will enjoy and have for years to come but firstly you need to know a little about the technology and terminology that Galvin Green use.

Gore-Tex

Every waterproof jacket that they make has gore-tex fabric and this ensures that the garment is fully waterproof and will keep you dry however not only will it keep the water out but it lets the vapor out which allows the garment to breath. The Gore-tex fabric is very durable and hard wearing

Gore-Tex Paclite

This is still waterproof and breathable however the paclite is lighter and allows more freedom within the golf swing and has been specifically designed to help the golfer feel unrestricted whilst on the course

Stretch Material

Over the past few season Galvin Green has developed a jacket that stretches which

is of a huge benefit when playing golf. These jackets can be a little more expensive but you will really enjoy the comfort

Full Zip

A full zip jacket is a style that you see on most coats were the zip all the way from top to bottom

Half Zip

A half zip jacket is a style of jacket which you apply over your head (like sweater) and the zip only goes half way down the garment. This style is preferred by the lower handicap players as it avoids having too much material around your stomach area.

Short Sleeve

A short sleeve jacket will only have sleeves to about half the length of your arm perhaps just beyond the elbow. This is enjoyed by players that like the freedom of minimal material when swinging and is gaining in popularity. The downside of this style is that they are not as useful for general wear.

Waterproof?

As this name suggests this is the first thing you should look for when purchasing some waterproofs. Do not be confused by a garment that states water resistant as this will only keep a smaller amount of water out. The longer the guarantee the better and stick to your brand names.

Rainproof/Showerproof?

As mentioned above if you want a garment that will keep a light rain shower out then this will be fine. They tend to be very lightweight and cheaper to purchase but don’t expect them to keep you dry when the heavens open.

Jacket with or without sleeves?

A lot of players do like to play with a jacket that does not have any sleeves. Although this seems daft as the jacket will no longer keep your sleeves dry but the removal of the sleeves does give the player some extra freedom when swinging. One of the best options is to choose a jacket with zip of sleeves as you will get the best of both worlds.

Amazingly the short sleeved jacket came to existence when former US Open champion Payne Stewart was playing in the rain and he got fed up of his baggy sleeves on his rain gear. So quite simply he just ripped them off however many thought this was a new fashion garment and so the sleeveless waterproof was born.

Waterproof Trousers

Although one of the most boring items of golf equipment you will probably buy you really should not skimp in this department. Not only will you use the trousers when it’s pouring down but when you get a heavy dew on the ground or the fairways are damp through previous rainfall these will get heavily used. Make sure you choose the correct leg length as a trouser that is too long can get caught up in your spikes and can then easily tear.

Overview. We really believe that if you invest in a really good quality set of waterproofs you will reap the benefits. They will keep you dry and the better waterproofs tend to last a lot longer.

Don’t forget to follow the washing instructions and please please remove your wet waterproofs from your golf bag as this will certainly reduce the life expectancy of the garment.

There always comes a time when golfers need a replacement in all their golf accessories (clothing in particular). In fact, at times, they even need appropriate clothing for the current weather conditions. For instance, golfers always prefer waterproof golf clothing for the rainy season. The truth is that it is always a good idea to invest in golf clothing beforehand. After all, you don’t want to get all wet and soaked while playing golf on a rainy day. There are three basic things to consider when choosing ProQuip golf clothing. These include:

The Quality
Like every other golfing product, it is always necessary to choose an item according to its quality. Golf clothing are generally designed to allow free movement during a game of golf. They are specifically designed to ensure that your putts and swings are not being obstructed in any way. But how do you choose golf clothing according to their quality? How do you know which ProQuip golf clothing to choose?

Firstly, there is a huge variety of ProQuip shirts, sweaters and slipovers out there. All of these also have a variety of styles and types among them. For regular golfers, it is always advisable to choose waterproof clothing because they are usually more durable comparatively. Generally, every ProQuip golf clothing is specially designed to ensure the comfort of the user. The high-end materials used in their manufacturing gives them the extra touch of quality and durability.

The Climate
Always consider the climate when choosing your ProQuip golf clothing. Consider the place where you usually play golf. Is the golf course or field located in a warm region? It is always better to choose breathable golf clothing when the climatic condition is warm. During the warm season, golfers always face the trouble of perspiring excessively while playing golf. For this reason, it is necessary to choose golf clothing that is breathable. This helps keep golfers dry and comfortable.

Style, Cut, and Colours
Other than the quality and climatic conditions to consider, you should also keep the style, cut and colours in mind. With such huge variety of clothing options available, choosing the right style, cut and colours often becomes confusing. Take the time to look through all the available products thoroughly before finalising your choice.

The technology and high-end materials used in their manufacturing are always of the highest level.
