<\/p>\n

Galvin Green is well-known for its range of premium waterproof and windproof gear, and new for 2025, the Andrea jacket is part of the DRYVR (pronounced \u2018driver\u2019) range, the brand\u2019s collection of 100% waterproof rainwear.<\/p>\n

Gore-Tex often features in Galvin Green waterproofs, but Andrea is made in a Pertex Shield fabric, a recycled polyester with a PFC-free water repellent treatment. The first thing I noticed was the weight, it\u2019s incredibly light, and made me wonder how it can possibly protect against the elements to form part of the best women’s golf rain gear<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I tested this in navy, it\u2019s also available in plain black, so there’s nothing really to dislike about the colors for wet weather golf, unless you are particularly fond of splashes of color. Unlike Galvin Green\u2019s popular Amy jacket<\/a>, which has color contrasting panels and an obvious \u2018golf\u2019 look, Andrea is more versatile to wear for everyday outdoor activities, and I like the bright silver double zip, as it does lift the colour and adds a touch of class.<\/p>\n

Best picks for you<\/p>\n

The length is good, it covers most of my backside and I used the toggles at the hem to tighten slightly for an even better fit. I\u2019m pleased that Galvin Green has introduced a hooded jacket, like Ping\u2019s Milli<\/a> and Adidas’ Rain.Rdy.<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m pleased to report that the hood fitted snug around my head and provided excellent protection. Hidden away inside the hood at the top are toggles to adjust the fit and this allowed me to swing the club without it moving and catching sight of it out of my left eye on my backswing, which I know is what some women find really annoying about hoods.<\/p>\n

None of us like having to play in waterproofs, but the lightweight seam-sealed stretch fabric adds to the overall comfort. It didn\u2019t feel bulky at all over a long-sleeve shirt and sweater, and there\u2019s plenty of room for easy movement in the arms.<\/p>\n

When the rain came, I adjusted the cuffs using the Velcro tabs and I also like the way the two zipped side pockets are concealed – neither me nor my accessories were going to get wet. Andrea did a commendable job!<\/p>\n
