Galvin Green, is it worth it?

The new line is released in 9 days so the old line might be going cheaper in a couple of weeks.
 
Thank you, I'll hold off till next week. Got ping waterproofs when I started last year, but the trousers are awful. Ok to keep in bag for emergencies, but wouldn't want to start a round in them again.

Been using an Under Armour wet suit for the last couple of years and its been O.K

But playing this morning some of the dampness was getting through.

To be fair, if I'd jumped into a swimming pool I could not have been wetter.

But I'm now wondering whether to treat myself to some Gavin Green gear.

The question is, is the additional expense worth it.

Any advice appreciated.

Yes it's worth it but there becomes a point when you've got to ask yourself why you're out there and if it's that bad then ... !
 
That was me - I had a bad experience with GG water-proof clothing and customer service so just looked on web to see if anyone else had experienced same. I then posted a message on all relevant threads to express my displeasure and question VFM of clothing. I am not quite sure why I was blocked from using the forum (now using wife's account!) and all my posts were removed as they were factual and based on my experience. I have asked the editor of forum to provide an explanation and reinstate me. In meantime, I maintain my personal opinion that GG water-proof clothing are not worth the money and my complaint is being forwarded to Trading Standards.
 
Maybe because you decided to bring up all threads in regards GG and post the identical message - instead of just the once and in the most recent thread

You've obviously had a poor experience but I love my GG jacket and it's never let me down. I guess with any product there maybe issues, but I'm not sure one poor experience warrants a complete write off. If there were many people in your position you may have a point, but I'm not sure what Trading Standards are going to do for you.
 
He did seem harshly treated.

It wasn't the best customer service to someone who will fork out over 100 at least any time they purchase a GO garment.

They have obviously lost future sales with this chap who had he been looked after proper, could have been a long and loyal customer.

Obviously this won't make or break GG, but not a great example to set as market leaders.

I think going on a golf forum and your only contribution is doing your level best to rubbish a company that clearly produces class leading products is pretty weird. You are perhaps a chicken sandwich short of a picnic.

Get on my blocked list Trace.
 
I bought my first GG jacket 9yrs ago, and its still good enough to wear in inclement weather, albeit its looking a bit frayed in a few places. My second GG jacket is a paclite, and still going strong. My third GG jacket is now 3 years old, and after a wash looks brand new and behaves perfectly.

In terms of what the recent (negative) poster has experienced I'd say he has been badly done to. He clearly has a faulty garment, as all the experiences I've had and many other people is very positive in terms of performance in bad weather.

That's assuming that what he posted is wholly accurate.

That aside, I've recently bought from another manufacturer. The performance is equally as good, and its a third of the price. Its also a lot lighter and more flexible. If it only lasts a third of the time I'll be happy, as this means I get something new and different before I get bored.
