GALVIN GREEN UNVEILS THE SKY IS THE LIMIT CAPSULE COLLECTION

                           

Leading premium high-tech golf apparel brand Galvin Green has today unveiled its vibrant THE SKY IS THE LIMIT capsule collection of top-quality garments inspired by radiant clear blue skies that golfers often dream of playing under.

 

The latest limited-edition range from the Swedish brand features six fashionable VENTIL8™ PLUS shirts, a pair of shorts and three comfortable INSULA™ pieces in the glacial Alaskan Blue colour, along with lighter shades of White and Cool Grey to deliver a striking look.

 

Aimed at serious golfers seeking ultimate breathability, the shirts include the bold MIO, highly textured MATE, MIKLOS, MO, and MIRACLE styles, plus the classic MARCELO. The PERCY shorts complete the line-up for warm and sunny days, while the DAWSON and DION sweaters and DEL vest provide additional warmth when the temperature drops.

 

“These styles have really been brought to life through the use of the cool Alaskan Blue colour that our eyes seamlessly absorb,” said Designer Batur Raza Muhammad. “Blue continues to be such a popular with golfers, so we’ve applied it to each garment in this collection to get players excited about summer golfing months ahead,” he added.

 

Working with responsibly sourced fabrics, Galvin Green ensures that the garments provide best-in-class and long-lasting performance, while minimising the social and environmental impact in the manufacturing process.

 

The flagship MATE shirt with a nuts & bolts theme and 3-D print MIO style are reminiscent of comic book franchises and superheroes to deliver a truly individual look and both come in Alaskan Blue with a contrasting collar and sleeve ends. The MIO is also available in a bright Cool Grey/White colour options to match with several golfing outfits.

 

Offering an equally modern look, the dashing MIKLOS style incorporates angled metal studs in White across the predominantly Alaskan Blue shirt to deliver a super eye-catching look, while the MO shirt with a Cool Grey/White/Alaskan Blue cross-body stripe print provides a standout appearance reminiscent of a layered sky. The distinctively different MIRACLE shirt features an all-over print of mechanical wheels and gears to offer a stellar futuristic look.

 

New for this year, the MARCELO shirt is crafted using a pioneering drirelease® certified fabric to deliver superior moisture-wicking properties and thermal regulation on hot days. It is a great option when matched with the highly breathable PERCY shorts in Alaskan Blue.

 

All VENTIL8™ PLUS shirts and shorts provide excellent moisture-transportation and breathability to keep the body dry, while offering UV 20+ protection in warm temperatures. Easy to maintain, the garments also dry quickly and without the need to iron.

 

Providing a soft and stretchy feel with impressive warmth, the shirts are accompanied by the striking DAWSON sweater in Alaskan Blue with a contrasting White full-length zipper, plus the lightweight DION half-zip and DEL vest in Alasksan Blue Melange.

 

All mid-layers are crafted using sustainable bluesign® approved materials and are designed to be layered with the brand’s premium shirts and outerwear to ensure full breathability and comfort on the golf course.

DETAILS to spearhead development of new-look Vilamoura as Europe’s leading leisure destination

                

 

DETAILS, a newly established, independent sports and hospitality management platform, has assumed control of some of golf’s most famous real estate in Vilamoura, Portugal, with a vision of elevating the destination to the very best in Europe.

It will oversee the assets within the Dom Pedro Hotels and Golf Collection, which have made the Algarve the hottest spot for visiting golfers on the continent, including the famous Vilamoura Old Course.

The move comes as part of a major multi-year development plan, which will see Vilamoura significantly enhanced through a series of ambitious upgrades, serving to further attract travellers seeking the very best leisure and lifestyle experience the Iberian Peninsula has to offer.

In addition to the Vilamoura Old Course, the Dom Pedro Hotels and Golf Collection comprises the highly popular Dom Pedro Portobelo, Dom Pedro Marina and Dom Pedro Vilamoura hotels, as well as the Victoria, Pinhal, Laguna and Millennium golf courses.

The Dom Pedro Victoria course hosted the European Tour’s Portugal Masters between 2007 and 2022 and saw victories for the likes of Open champions, Padraig Harrington and Shane Lowry, as well as England’s Ryder Cup stalwart, Lee Westwood.

Away from Dom Pedro, the Palmares, Vale Pisão and Aroeira (Pines Classic and Challenge) golf courses will take the DETAILS golf portfolio to nine courses in total.

Golfers can expect further news in the near future regarding DETAILS’ enhancement plans, which will see returning travellers to Vilamoura delighted by the positive evolution of an already favourite destination.

Nuno Sepulveda, Co-Chief Executive Officer at DETAILS – Hospitality, Sports, Leisure, said: “We are very excited about taking our amazing properties in Vilamoura to the next level, not just in terms of improving and future-proofing our superb facilities, but ensuring our guests continue to create unforgettable memories.

“Since 2023, we have made significant changes to the sites – with sustainability at the core of those changes – and we are looking forward to sharing our world-class facilities with our guests.”

Development plans will also see the creation of a state-of-the-art multi-sport facility alongside significant upgrades to Vilamoura’s existing equestrian centre.

Dom Pedro’s portfolio of hotels in Lagos, and Madeira will also be fully operated by DETAILS, which also manages the following resorts: Topázio Vibe Beach Hotel & Apartments, Albufeira Vale D’Oliveiras Quina Resort & Spa, Carvoeiro/Lagos Bertolina Guesthouse, Albufeira Velamar Boutique Hotel, Olhos de Água Aqua Pedra Dos Bicos Design Beach Hotel, Albufeira Vale d’El Rei Hotel & Villas, Lagos Vale Da Lapa Village Resort, Carvoeiro.
