Our friends at Galvin Green avnnounced a limited edition for their full-lenght green zippered jacket.

Galvin Green, the pioneering brand in hi-tech golf waterproofs, is introducing a limited edition of its new streamlined GORE-TEX® SHAKEDRY™ rain jacket ahead of the first Major tournament of the year and two months before its official launch.

The first super-lightweight waterproof garment of its kind, the jacket features a green full length zipper and will be available from today at selected stockists and online retailers around the world (S-XL sizes).

The extraordinary SHAKEDRY™ technology is integrated into the lightest GORE-TEX® rain jacket ever made by Galvin Green – weighing just 174 grams (6 ounces), or at least half the weight of a conventional lined waterproof jacket.

The revolutionary construction of the SHAKEDRY™ jacket has been in various stages of development over the past 15 years and sees the unrivalled GORE-TEX® membrane placed on the outside without a face fabric for the first time – improving breathability significantly. The smooth surface enables water to bead up persistently and simply roll off the garment.

As a result, there is minimal chilling effect and a much faster dry-off time. Inside the extremely breathable, totally windproof jacket is a functional backer textile for
greater comfort next to the skin, while the quiet GORE-TEX® membrane on the outside eliminates all friction in the golf swing. Ergonomically designed for maximum comfort and the perfect fit during set up and throughout the swing, it also takes up little space in the bag.

“Interest in SHAKEDRY™ has been so fantastic that we decided to offer it as a limited
edition ahead of its official launch,” said Steve Hendren, President of Galvin Green US. “It
will never wet-out, leak or cling onto the skin. It’s the perfect jacket for serious golfers who want to perform in the rain. In play tests, a pro golfer said it was like playing in a shirt.”

Known as the ASHTON, the new SHAKEDRY™ full-zip jacket comes with shaped sleeves
for easy movement, elastic binding on the cuffs, drawstring at the hem, water-repellent
zippers and a chest pocket. It goes on general sale with a silver zipper in more size options this summer. RRP of $400. For more information visit www.galvingreen.com.
