The best of the best! We roundup the Best Galvin Green Spring Summer Apparel
Galvin Green is best known for its premium waterproofs, but its Spring/Summer 2026 range highlights a more refined focus on warm-weather performance. Rather than simply going lighter, the brand applies its technical expertise to heat management, with VENTIL8™ fabrics designed to maximise breathability, wick moisture, and keep golfers cool during long rounds.
Styling stays true to its identity – clean, tailored, and understated – while lightweight, packable layers ensure you’re still prepared for changing conditions. It’s a collection built not just for sunshine, but for consistent performance in unpredictable summer golf.
So, here’s an in-depth look at the Best Galvin Green Spring Summer Apparel 2026 for men and women 2026.

Golf trousers have come a long way from the days of thick, heavy materials and tartan patterns. There is now a recognition that we walk several miles in when we play a round of golf and we find ourselves bending and contorting in more directions than is perhaps advisable for the less athletic among us.
The Galvin Green Noah Breathable pants are so light and stretchy that you could be forgiven for initially regarding them as flimsy. They are not. In fact, like just about all Galvin Green apparel that I have worn over the past two decades, they are resilient, long lasting and hold their shape incredibly well.
The Noahs are golf-specific trousers that are purpose-designed to play and move in. When you first put them on, you can admire the Scandinavian cut and stretchiness. But you only appreciate the thoughtfulness of the design when you play a round in them. An added bonus is that they cope well with getting wet so you don’t lose any freedom of movement and because they are so lightweight they dry extremely quickly. Hard to fault.
PROS
Great to move in
Very lightweight
Understated branding means they pair well with just about any top
CONS
None
RRP: £119
Sizes: Waist – 30-40 / Leg – 30-34

Galvin Green Don Insulating Mid Layer | Source: NCG
A quarter-zip midlayer is arguably the Ground Zero of your golfing wardrobe for those of us who play in the British Isles. It is the piece of apparel you have the most need for and get the most out of. There may be a month or so in summer when it is superfluous, but apart from that you need one everywhere you go.
The Don Insulating Mid Layer is the perfect top for your golfing exploits and the added bonus is that should you ever overheat and want to take it off mid-round, it folds up easily, doesn’t crease and takes up next to no space in your bag pocket. You can retrieve it at the end of your round, pull it back over your head and it looks like it did that morning.
I am not here to tell you that this is a cheap option and I will say that you will get incredible value out of it. You can wear it on and off the course – even, as the name suggests, underneath warm layers in the winter months.
It is just a joy to hit shots in because there is zero excess material flapping about and the fabric simply stretches as you need it to during the swing. You don’t really notice you are wearing a jumper.
PROS
Warm but free of bulk
Breathable
Hard wearing
CONS
None
RRP: £109
Sizes: S-2XL
Colours: Royal Blue-white / Black-white / Navy-white
When the weather gets warm and you are spending three or four hours (hopefully not more) out on the course, you need all the help you can get to stay comfortable so that you can concentrate on your game. The Morley Breathable polo is working ever so hard to do just that and for reasons I don’t fully understand is great at dealing with perspiration without you even noticing.
It’s a really durable piece too, which is so important for golf. What use is a great-looking polo if it never quite recovers from the first round in warm conditions and loses its shape. Galvin Green apparel continues to look like you have just pulled it out of its packaging for round after round and that is what makes it worth the investment. It’s a guarantee of quality and reliability, along with the trademark sharp looks and thoughtful design.
Which of us does not need a belt that will go with just about any pair of trousers or shorts that you own and that you can easily alter the size of should the need arise. These stretchy belts are also tough – ideal for golf trips where you might want to play golf in your belt and then switch it over to your evening outfit. Well, there is no need to pack a second belt for your trip if you are equipped with the Galvin Green Ward Elastic.
It is perfectly accompanied with a pair of Galvin trousers such as the Noah (link to review) but works equally well with a pair of jeans.
One size fits all and it is simplicity itself to adjust the fit to get it exactly as you would like.
I tried – and would recommend – the Navy version. It could not be more versatile and would work with just about any pair of trousers that I own. An excellent investment.
Out of the packet these had a feel like no other golf trousers that I own. They’re not overly thick but their mechanical stretch fabric feels very durable. I’m 5ft9 and they sit at a 7/8 length, as they’re a 28.74” inseam. I completed the Galvin Green size recommender on their website which gave me a size 34 which equates to my standard uk8 size. This was the perfect fit, but they do come with belt loops.
Out on the course they were very size to move in, bending down wasn’t a problem. They’re definitely more of a summer trouser being lightweight and breathable. They also have UV protection 20+. There are front and back pockets that are all lined.
Overall, a smart pair of golf trousers that are quick drying and lightweight that look smart with the seem design.
This is the sort of midlayer I consider a wardrobe staple. It’s plain colourway with a simple half zip design will go great with lots of outfits and so it’s always a worthwhile investment. I wore the Diora midlayer in the Crystal Blue Melange but Galvin Green does offer it in six other options. As you’d expect from the name the material of this is thicker than most using INSULA™ Warming effect #1 to offer light thermal comfort. I like that it’s still very soft and stretchy meaning that it’s easy to move and swing in. I wore this in my standard size of a small and it was the perfect fit.
Overall, this a great midlayer that can be worn to layer worn all year round to keep you warm. It’s simple design works really well and I know I will be getting plenty of wear out of it.

This is a really nice jacket. It’s a long sleeve full zip windproof that is water repellent. It is constructed from 100% recycled polyester with recycled PES membrane. To touch it’s thinner than you’d find with a waterproof jacket but it still has that soft shell feel. Inside the jackets are lined to provide thermal insulation.
I wore this jacket in small which is my typical size. For this style of jacket it is very stretchy and surprisingly easy to swing in. There are elastic drawstring at the hem if you like a tighter fit there as well as elasticated cuffs in body fabric. I liked that there was two front pockets both with zips.
Overall, a great jacket that will keep you warm and protected from the wind whilst keeping a stylish look. This jacket would also work great off the golf course too.
At first glance the Miley polo doesn’t follow the traditional polo shirt design. The stand up collar and full zip opening gives a freshing look to my golfing wardrobe. It’s constructed from a very stretchy fabric, it’s build to be breathable and quick drying – perfect for warmer rounds of golf. There is also build in UV protection 20+, to help shield you from the sun.
In terms of fit, I wore this polo in a small which is my standard size being a uk8 mainly or small 10. I found this to be a great fit, being very comfortable to swing and move in.

Overall, I liked that this polo offered something a little different in terms of style and I enjoyed wearing.
In summary, Galvin Green’s Spring Summer 2026 range stays true to what the brand does best – performance through precision. It may not chase bold trends or athletic crossover appeal, but it delivers where it matters: keeping golfers comfortable, focused, and prepared for whatever the conditions bring.
From breathable, temperature-regulating polos to lightweight layers built for sudden changes in weather, this is a collection designed for those who prioritise consistency over flash. It’s a reminder that even in the height of summer, the right gear can make all the difference over 18 holes.
