LEGENDARY PERFORMANCE<br />
GALVIN GREEN<br />
ATOS & ALF<br />
SRP: £299 (Atos jacket); £199 (Alf trousers)<br />
COLOURS: 3 (j); 1 (t) SIZES: 6 (j); 6 (t)<br />
OUR OPINIONS<br />
Dan: This is the ultimate. Gore-Tex keeps<br />
you dry in even heavy downpours, the fit is<br />
excellent and it looks great<br />
Joe: This test showed me they are worth<br />
every penny of their price tag. So reliable<br />
and really good looking. Will l<strong>as</strong>t forever<br />
James: <strong>Galvin</strong> <strong>Green</strong> are the pinnacle of<br />
waterproof products and this combination<br />
is brilliant. Impossible to fault<br />
IN A PARAGRAPH Superb quality,<br />
reliability and looks. These are suits that<br />
are designed to be played in – and it shows.<br />
Also worth noting is the m<strong>as</strong>sive choice of<br />
trouser waists and leg lengths<br />

ULTIMATE V2<br />
SRP: £299 (jacket); £225 (trousers)<br />
COLOURS: 2 SIZES: 6<br />
OUR OPINIONS<br />
Joe: Looks smart and deals with the<br />
rain <strong>as</strong> well <strong>as</strong> any thanks to the Gore-<br />
Tex fabric. I really like the clubcleaning<br />
pad and ball cleaner in the<br />
pocket<br />
Dan: A high quality suit that will cope<br />
with the British winter<br />
James: The stretchy material meant I<br />
w<strong>as</strong> not restricted in my swing, and it<br />
fights off the water so e<strong>as</strong>ily<br />
IN A PARAGRAPH The only thing<br />
that came close to <strong>Galvin</strong> <strong>Green</strong> in<br />
terms of performance and playability.<br />
Expensive, but worth it<br />

TOP QUALITY, LIGHT WEIGHT<br />
GALVIN GREEN<br />
ARGO & AQUILA<br />
SRP: £239 (Argo jacket); £269<br />
(trousers) COLOURS: 5 (j); 1 (t)<br />
SIZES: 6 (j); 6 (t)<br />
OUR OPINIONS<br />
James: Great looks and performance.<br />
The Gore-Tex Paclite material is light<br />
and thin, yet e<strong>as</strong>ily deflects water<br />
Modern styling and great features like<br />
the reinforced area lower trouser area<br />
Joe: You can hardly feel you are<br />
wearing the Paclite. Fant<strong>as</strong>tic<br />
Dan: The performance of the normal<br />
GG range in a lightweight package<br />
IN A PARAGRAPH So light almost<br />
feels like you have no suit on when you<br />
are wearing it. The downside of Paclite<br />
is that it is quite noisy to move in<br />

DRYJOYS TOUR<br />
COLLECTION SUIT<br />
SRP: £145 (jacket); £125 (trousers)<br />
COLOURS: 1 SIZES: 5<br />
OUR OPINIONS<br />
Joe: A little boring in terms of how it<br />
looks given what else is available, but<br />
you cannot argue with the<br />
performance – it keeps you dry and<br />
doesn’t get in the way when you swing<br />
Dan: I like the simple looks and the<br />
way it gets rid of the water, but I did<br />
have issues with the waist band, which<br />
made the trousers uncomfortable to<br />
swing in<br />
IN A SENTENCE Quite b<strong>as</strong>ic in<br />
terms of appearance, but very<br />
impressive performance-wise, the waist<br />
band apart<br />

IMPERMALITE<br />
SRP: £195 (jacket); £180 (trousers)<br />
COLOURS: 1 SIZES: 5<br />
OUR OPINIONS<br />
Joe: Really smart looking – the black<br />
with red trim is very cl<strong>as</strong>sy – and the<br />
performance is great. It seemed to shed<br />
water very efficiently<br />
James: This looks really cool and is<br />
very light and good to swing in, though<br />
I’m not sure they have the sizing<br />
right – the pants were significantly<br />
tighter than the top!<br />
Dan: I thought this suit looked really<br />
smart and it also performed admirably<br />
too<br />
IN A SENTENCE As smart <strong>as</strong> they<br />
come and also very functional – just<br />
watch out for the small pants<br />

UNDER ARMOUR<br />
ARMOURSTORM<br />
SRP: £160 (jacket); £140 (trousers)<br />
COLOURS: 1 SIZES: 5<br />
OUR OPINIONS<br />
Dan: This dealt with the water really<br />
effectively and looks sharp and<br />
modern. The technology works really<br />
well and certainly keeps you dry<br />
James: I really like the modern styling<br />
but found the pockets on the legs dug<br />
in a touch, which w<strong>as</strong> slightly<br />
uncomfortable. It h<strong>as</strong> thermal patches<br />
inside to keep you warm and they<br />
really work<br />
IN A SENTENCE Good looking,<br />
effective and stretchy, so no restriction<br />
on your swing. Keeps you warm<br />
without making you sweat<br />
