Is Galvin Green stuff really worth the price???

[Snelly]

I have had top end Pro-Quip and Sunderland stuff over the past two years and they are both fair in showers and rubbish in really bad weather.

I will be buying GG shortly. Firmly believe in buy cheap buy twice but agree with the sentiments here that it has to be overpriced for what it is.

Qestion is, is it worth it - probably not as it is only a jacket or trousers and costs a lot! That doesn't mean you shouldn't buy them if you want them though.

No it is not, it's price is purely based on what they can get people to pay and not the quality of the product alone.
When there is stuff out there that can do exactly the same job (or better in some cases) for a lot less money only fools or fashion followers will pay the higher price for GG.

This comment in no way suggests GG kit is in any way rubbish, far from it, it's just over priced.

Couldn't that be said about pretty much anything to do with golf from woods, irons, putters, balls and the club to which you belong?

Just bought Proquip tourflex suit, and can fully recommend. Got a good deal at Clubhouse Golf, £130.

You should have waited as Clubhouse golf have £20 off for the RC.

Just bought GG top and trousers and am going to test them at Royal County Down tomorrow so will report how good they are then!

I'm seriously thinking about getting some Paclite stuff, but I really need to think about how much I play in the rain to justify the cost.

Played in my new top and trousers. It chucked it down with 40mph winds. 2 playing partners were utterly soaked. A mate and I were bone dry in our GG kit.

You can't buy better it would seem.

 

[Parmo]

I still think you can buy cheaper though.

 

[Snelly]

Yes I am sure you can. Goes back to the OP's original question I guess. No they are not worth the cost unless you really value staying 100% dry in shocking weather on a golf course. If you do want to be dry, then they are good value I suppose.

In terms of cost, the list price on mine was £240 for the jacket and £180 for the trousers.

I paid £230 for both in total as I have a friend in the trade.
