Galvin Green puts the spotlight on WINDSTOPPER

TORONTO, ON – Galvin Green is looking to increase awareness and sales of its high performance WINDSTOPPER® product-line heading into 2012.

As a record setting year for sales in Canada comes to a close for Galvin Green, the Swedish-based outerwear company that is known around the world for its award-winning waterproof rainwear is focused on growing the soft shell WINDSTOPPER® brand.

“Our GORE-Tex products, which WINDSTOPPER® is, are known to be the best on the market,” says Jonathan Wong, President of Galvin Green Canada. “We have enjoyed solid sales across Canada with these wind proof shells, but I don’t think the golfer fully understands the benefits and how comfortable these tops truly are. I have a lot of loyal Galvin Green supports who tell me their WINDSTOPPER® jacket or pullover is their favourite outerwear piece.”

The comfort and versatility of a WINDSTOPPER® garment makes it virtually indispensable for any golfer. Completely wind proof, yet with extremely high breathability, it provides the optimum outer layer in most weather conditions and protects against wind-chill. GORE-Tex ultra-light WINDSTOPPER® membrane technology is built right into the fabric. Even after countless wash and dry cycles, it remains windproof.

Jonathan adds that all Galvin Green garments are specifically developed for the game of golf - Designed by golfers, for golfers. WINDSTOPPER® keeps the body at an optimum performance temperature.   

BURNS is a new men’s half zip jacket in a soft, sensitive, light-weight WINDSTOPPER® material, available in several stylish colour combinations. For ladies Galvin Green is introducing the pullover BEYLA, also in comfortable, light-weight WINDSTOPPER® material. This half zip style has been reintroduced in response to demand for optimum comfort in four different colour combinations.

WINDSTOPPER® in brief:

• Totally windproof. Effectively protects against wind-chill.
• Maximum breathability that allows moisture vapour to evaporate.
• Thermoregulatory function keeps the body at an optimum performance temperature.
• Perfect fit for maximum comfort and freedom of movement.
