Galvin Green’s spring/summer 2015 collection
Sweden-based golf apparel manufacturer, Galvin Green, has unveiled its wide-ranging spring/summer 2015 collection.
The company, “a pure golf brand,” which has set the standard in golf outerwear in Europe for the past two decades, expanded to the U.S. market last year, aspiring to outfit “the serious golfer.”
Regarding their offerings, the company says, “Each detail exists because the game demands it and there is never any compromise on the quality of materials or the functional design of golf wear styled for all climatic conditions.”
With this collection, “styled for all climatic conditions,” Galvin Green continues to explore the “multi-layer concept,” offering garments in five basic color families.
Here’s a full breakdown of Galvin Green’s spring/summer ’15 lineup, presented by layer.
Outer protection: shell layer
featuring GORE-TEX, GORE-TEX Paclite, and WINDSTOPPER technologies
Galvin Green offers the totally waterproof, lined, highly breathable APEX full-zip jacket with GORE-TEX stretch fabric and mesh lining. The AMOS jacket and the ART jacket (half-zip), also with GORE-TEX stretch fabric, are the most heavy-duty outerwear. All are available in sizes small to at least 3XL (some to 4XL).
Weighing just 240 grams (or about five golf balls), Galvin Green’s shell layers with GORE-TEX Paclite technology are for slightly warmer conditions, but offer the same waterproof protection as the jackets above. Again, the company offers jackets with and without stretch fabric, the ARON and the minimal ALISTER. Similar to the heavier jackets above, Galvin Green also offers a half-zip jacket with the Paclite technology: the ALVIN. These, too, are available from small to at least 3XL.


Galvin Green also implements the Paclite technology in three half-sleeve jackets: the AKRON, AIR, and uniquely patterned ARCHIE.

Those hoping for a departure from the traditional black rain pant will be happy to see Galvin Green’s AUGUST pants, which also feature the Paclite material. The pants are available in electric red, midnight blue, gunmetal gray, and, of course, black. All are available in short, standard, and long lengths. In all lengths, sizes range from small to at least XL, with sizes up to 3XL available in black.
New this season, the ALF stretch trouser is equipped with GORE-TEX stretch fabric to allow for a greater freedom of movement. The ALF stretch also offers a slimmer silhouette than the traditional ALF, which is still available. All come in short, standard, and long lengths from sizes small to at least 3XL.

In addition to the rainwear featuring GORE-TEX technology, Galvin Green also implement’s Gore’s WINDSTOPPER technology in its long-sleeve, full-zip BOURNE jackets, which are water resistant (not waterproof) and windproof. The company also offers roughly the same jacket in a half zip (BANKS), and a full-zip vest (BOND). Sizes range from small to 3XL here, too.

Thermal regulation: warm layer/cool layer
featuring Galvin Green’s INSULA and VENTIL8 technologies
Galvin Green’s intermediate layer features the company’s INSULA technology, which has been improved this year with a thinner softer fiber structure. The full-zip DUSTIN, which is available in three colors, is the company’s heat-regulating benchmark garment. Also available: a half-zip (DEX), a full-zip vest (DENZEL), and a half-zip vest (DRAKE). The fabric is a 90 percent polyester/10% elastane blend. All are available in sizes small to 3XL.
The company also offers an array of knitted wool blend sweaters and vests for a more traditional approach to warmth, the vast majority of which can be obtained in sizes from small to 3XL (the COOPER wool/acrylic blend vest only goes up to XXL).
From warming to cooling, Galvin Green’s VENTIL8 polos feature the company’s breathable, anti-bacterial, UV protection technology to keep golfers cool and dry. The SS15 line includes a total of 18 VENTIL8 polos in three different designs, most within the five color families outlined earlier. All are 100 percent polyester and available in sizes small to at least XXL (some to 3XL).


In addition, the collection includes an additional 24 cotton/polyester blend polos in a range of styles. These, too, are offered from small to XXL.
Galvin Green has your lower half covered as well, of course, offering three models of VENTIL8 trousers, the NED, NATE, and NEASON. The NED is a more traditional cut pant and it’s available in nine colors, from the boilerplate khaki to the more exotic electric red and grape. All of the SS15 trousers are 100% polyester stretch material and feature elastic waistbands. The range of available sizes is extensive, so you don’t have to be the stereotypical European beanpole to find pants that fit well.

The collection also includes shorts and patterned polyester blend trousers to cover all your sartorial bases.
Dry comfort: base layer
featuring Galvin Green’s SKINTIGHT technology.
For wear underneath the abundance of garments above, Galvin Green suggests either compression or thermal layers and offers SKINTIGHT compression and SKINTIGHT thermal accordingly.

The SKINTIGHT compression garments are designed to enhance circulation and thus improve muscle stamina and performance. Galvin Green offers compression tops in both black and white, as well as tights up to XXL. Likewise, SKINTIGHT thermals to keep you warm. All are made from a polyester/elastane blend.
Accessories
Given the comprehensive nature of the spring/summer range so far, you won’t be surprised to find that Galvin Green offers a wealth of accessory options to complement their outerwear.
In the headwear department, the company implements GORE-TEX Paclite technology in wide-brimmed golf hats (AURA), the shorter-brimmed ANT, and the traditional baseball cap, ABEL. All are available in multiple colors. Knit caps with WINDSTOPPER technology and three with INSULA fabric round out the headwear offerings. Standard polyester baseball caps are available, too—in seven colors.
In addition, Galvin Green offers mitts, cold-weather gloves, neckwarmers and wristwarmers—the latter with INSULA technology—to insure you’re fully prepared to play in the most miserable of conditions.
And if you’re really looking to go with Galvin Green from head to toe, you’re in luck: the company is adding performance golf socks this year.
Presently expanding aggressively in the United States, Galvin Green’s products are available in finer pro shops and exclusively online through TrendyGolf.com. The ’14 collection is presently available for sale there.

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver
Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game.
The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag.

At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.

The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.

“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley

In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.

To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.

“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod
An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.

Pricing & Availability
The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.

Srixon ZXi combo or TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:
“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly.
My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”
And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
- MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
- dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”

The best waterproofs bar none. You stay dry full stop. Expensive but my Galvin jacket is 6 years old and still totally waterproof and looks almost new. Consider them as an investment as they will last for years and see off any rival suit.
