(VÄxjö, Sweden) – Galvin Green – the world’s leading maker of functional golf clothing for serious players and the No. 1 global golf partner of GORE-TEX® – celebrates its dual recognition as Golf Company of the Year and Outerwear Brand of the Year in the 2015 Younger Awards presented by SCOREGolf Magazine.
Determined by esteemed columnist Rick Young, the 14th annual Younger Awards praise significant equipment and business achievements across all levels of the Canadian golf industry. In bestowing his highest honour to Galvin Green, which in previous years he recognized in the outerwear category, Young wrote:
“For Galvin Green it was a year notable for not only worldwide sales dominance in the outerwear category but further marketing and retail inroads across North America where it is seeking new growth and heightened brand awareness. The track record of success the Swedish brand’s Gore-Tex, Windstopper, Insula,Ventil8 and SkinTight layering system has enjoyed the past two to three years continues to provide an industry-leading position in an outerwear category ripe with top brands. Validating Galvin Green’s European styling, fit functionality and performance standard was the European PGA Tour earlier this summer. It named the company the official team supplier of outerwear to the 2016 and 2018 European Ryder Cup teams.”
Based in Sweden, Galvin Green is a pure golf brand that developed the sport’s first apparel layering system – the Multi-Layer Concept – more than a decade ago. This distinctive approach uses leading-edge fabric technologies to ensure the dry comfort, thermal regulation and outer protection that helps players optimize performance. The collection is available at better green grass shops and Golf Town stores across Canada.
“This is a great day for our brand and speaks to the ‘We Never Compromise’ approach that’s inherent to each and every Galvin Green garment,” said Jonathan Wong, President of Galvin Green Canada. “It’s an achievement that’s only possible because of the tremendous support we receive from CPGA Professionals, top merchandisers and influencers throughout Canada.”
As the Official Team Supplier of Outerwear to the 2016 and 2018 European Ryder Cup Teams, Galvin Green will first provide its premium waterproof garments to Captain Darren Clarke, his vice captains, team members and their caddies during next year’s matches at Hazeltine National Golf Club. The ultra-lightweight, breathable rain suits will also be offered for purchase by the wider golfing population after the competition concludes.
Also of note the Galvin Green ‘Dress for the Weather’ app that is free on the App Store or Google Play. Providing detailed five-day forecasts for thousands of courses in Canada, the U.S., U.K. and Europe, it also recommends ideal layering solutions for expected levels of heat, precipitation and wind speed.
