Comments:

DM: Galvin trousers are in a league of their own because of the dozens of size options – we can all find a pair that fit perfectly. The way they zip up at the bottom makes them neat, stylish and durable. The half-zip feels better to play in as there is less material in the way. We all know a Galvin suit is expensive but you get years of reliable performance and you can also wear it off the course.

JW: Both the jacket and the trousers fit so nicely. Lots of colour options, too. The dark blue trousers grew on me.
