Staff WriterIf you’ve ever stood on a tee box watching a cloud roll in like it’s been personally insulted by your swing, you’ll appreciate what Galvin Green is serving up for 2026.
The premium high-tech golf apparel brand has unveiled its 2026 Part One collection of responsibly sourced golf clothing, and it’s not tiptoeing onto the fairway. This launch is all bold-lined patterns, an “unmatched” rainwear line-up, and a featherweight windbreaker so light it sounds like a rumour.
The rallying cry this season is ‘READ THE LINE’—a design theme that leans into straight lines, trajectories and that golfer’s obsession with seeing the shot before it happens. And because the weather rarely reads the memo, Galvin Green’s DRYVR™ rainwear line-up is positioned as the brand’s most advanced and comprehensive offering yet—built to keep golfers in full flight when the forecast tries to turn the round into an endurance event.
DRYVR™ rainwear: bolder looks, bigger coverage, serious tech
At the heart of the new range is the men’s DRYVR™ line-up, led by the vivid ARLO full-zip jacket, built with Pertex® Shield Stretch technology. The promise is familiar to anyone who’s tried to hit a cut shot while wearing a jacket that feels like a crisp packet: 100% waterproof protection, serious stretch, and high breathability—without making you sound like you’re sneaking crisps into the clubhouse.
It’s also built using PFAS-free materials, with a sustainability tilt that doesn’t ask golfers to sacrifice performance. Galvin Green says the jacket design is inspired by straight lines and trajectories—because the ball doesn’t care about your feelings, only physics.
On the detail front, ARLO features a ‘slide & glide’ interior to reduce friction with layers underneath, contrasting shaped sleeves for easier movement, adjustable chest tabs, and a repositioned side seam intended to improve comfort and fit. Colourways are unapologetically punchy: Crystal Blue/Navy and White/Red headline the look-at-me options, with Black/Royal Blue and Navy/White also available for golfers who like their style to do a little talking.
And Galvin Green didn’t stop at one showpiece. Standout new designs and vibrant colours—including Crystal Blue, Sand and Royal Blue—are used to “take the multi-award-winning range to another dimension,” giving the whole DRYVR™ family a sharper visual edge than your mate’s brand-new wedge.
The 94g headline act: LUIS brings “second skin” windproofing
Now for the bit that will make weight-weenies and travel golfers grin: the LUIS short sleeve INTERFACE-1™ jacket. At 94g, Galvin Green says it’s the brand’s lightest-ever windproof garment—basically a performance layer that packs down to the size of a strong opinion.
And the brand’s Head of Product, Sofia Ask-Klason, is very clear that this isn’t lightweight for lightweight’s sake: “As with all garments we bring to market, every single element has a purpose and the 2026 Part One collection is no exception,” said Head of Product Sofia Ask-Klason. “We have introduced new long-lasting fabrics and a host of eye-catching colour stories throughout each layering category to take our clothing range to the next level and ensure all golfers feel comfortable in what they wear on the golf course.
“Thanks to its lightweight design, the LUIS offers a genuine ‘second skin’ sensation from both a fit and function perspective to the point where serious golfers won’t even notice they’re wearing it. Alongside our 100% waterproof rainwear products, we fully expect this to be a big hit this season,” added Sofia.
The LUIS is bluesign® approved, half-zip, and designed for unrestricted swing movement. It’s fully windproof and water resistant, folds into a small ball for easy storage, and lands in Royal Blue, Black and Navy, finished with a contrasting zipper.
INSULA™ warmth: soft-hand layers built for real golfers (and real temperatures)
Beyond the waterproof and windproof heroes, Galvin Green’s 2026 Part One line introduces an all-new responsibly sourced INSULA™ warming effect #1 fabric in pieces like the DON half-zip and DARRYL crew-neck sweaters. The emphasis here is on premium softness—an “incredibly soft surface texture on both sides”—while still delivering the warmth golfers want when the temperature drops but the tee time stays put.
Colours stay classic and easy to pair: Royal Blue, Black and Navy, with White also available for DARRYL. Meanwhile, the DEAN half-zip—in classic Galvin Green styling—adds fresh combinations: Sand/Navy/White, Crystal Blue/White, Black/White/Royal Blue and White/Navy/Red.
VENTIL8™ PLUS: hot-day shirts, new pants and shorts for all-day comfort
For the golfers who treat summer rounds like a hydration strategy experiment, the Part One collection also leans into warm-weather performance.
The MORLEY VENTIL8™ PLUS shirt is styled around straight lines and contemporary patterning, with the technical aim of superior moisture-wicking, thermal regulation, and quick-dry garment care. It comes in Crystal Blue/White, Navy/White, and White/Navy. Alongside it sits the MANSFIELD shirt, featuring an all-over print of micro Galvin Green logos and a ribbed collar for a more elevated, premium finish.
On the bottoms side, Galvin Green introduces the NICK pant—a new addition in the VENTIL8™ PLUS line-up described as extremely breathable with mechanical stretch, offering a super lightweight, soft and comfortable feel. The PEDRO short joins it as the warm-weather counterpart. Both arrive in Navy, Black and Sand.
Women’s range: DRYVR™ waterproofs, INSULA™ layers and standout summer sets
Women golfers get a properly rounded offering in the DRYVR™ collection, including four waterproof jackets in sizes XS to XXL, plus two styles of pants. The standout newcomer is the ABBY jacket, also built with Pertex® Shield Stretch technology, available in Crystal Blue/White, Fuchsia/White, and Navy/White.
In the INSULA™ range, the DARLA full-zip sweater leads in three colours, including a chic Pink option. It features an all-over embossed print for standout looks, while the warm-yet-breathable fabric aims to provide soft, stretchy comfort on colder days—on the course and beyond it.
For pure fairway flair, the sleeveless MIA shirt pairs with the MARIELLE skort in three matching combos—Pink/Fuchsia, Crystal Blue/Navy, and White/Navy—for what Galvin Green describes as the ultimate hot, sunny-day outfit. The set delivers high breathability and UV protection of 20+.
The women’s line-up also adds a new super lightweight VENTIL8™ PLUS fabric through the raised seam NEA pant, NOVA short, and NINA skort—all extremely breathable and stretchy, in Navy and Sand for easy outfit matching.
The bigger picture: performance-first, with sustainability woven in
Galvin Green makes a point that its waterproof collection remains the backbone of the brand—over one million garments sold globally—and the 2026 Part One range continues that heritage while nudging design and materials forward. From PFAS-free construction in the ARLO rain jacket to bluesign® approved pieces like LUIS, there’s a consistent theme: make it perform at tour-level expectations, and make it responsibly.
For golfers, it’s simple: fewer compromises. You get kit that moves, breathes, packs small, looks sharp, and doesn’t wilt when the weather turns grumpy.
