Galvin Green Lincoln Interface-1 Jacket Review

This is aimed at golfers seeking a versatile, wind proof mid layer that combats multiple elements.

Key technology This half-zip Interface-1 garment comes in five colours and is made from a lightweight, breathable and windproof material suitable for the majority of rounds throughout the year. It also features an elastic drawstring at the hem, elastic cuffs and a repositioned side seam for optimum comfort. It forms part of Galvin Green's new collection for 2019, which you can read about here.

How we tested We wore a red/black Lincoln out on the course over multiple rounds in different weather conditions to assess fit and performance.

The styling is relatively subdued by Galvin Green’s standards but it does come in other, brighter colour choices and the logo and print section on the chest along with the different colour blocks on the front and back certainly catch your eye and enhance the premium aesthetics.

We found this jacket to be surprisingly efficient at keeping the wind out given how the thin material is. Its impressive stretch properties ensure freedom of movement is not restricted during the swing.

The half-zip design is easy to slide on thanks to the soft inner fabric and fits snugly, ensuring no excess material around the torso impedes the swing, helped by the elasticated waist and wrist sections.

The high level of waterproof protection makes it a feasible option for all but the heaviest of downpours - water beads off the outer fabric quickly, leaving no visible trace behind.

The stretchiness of the material is pretty incredible considering how thin it is, which also allows it to be combined easily with other layers either underneath or on top.

The wind resistance also helps keep the winter chill at bay and it can be easily folded and stored in small pockets in your golf bag. A lack of pockets would be our one minor criticism.
