    Which is better in your opinion? The Proquip Silk Touch or the Galvin Green range? Purchasing soon. Price doesn't matter. Comfort and staying dry does.

    Zak.

    Any interfere with swing?

    Bought the ProQuip Silk Touch jacket 18 months or so ago. It came with a 3 year guarantee but leaked twice on me about 6 weeks ago. Leaked badly too. Sent it back and got store credit. Bought a Galvin Green jacket instead. Atwell style I think.
    I find the Galvin Green a better fit and lighter. No restriction on swing, but there wasn't with the ProQuip either.
    Galvin Green comes with a lifetime guarantee. (Gortex lifetime guarantee).
    I have Galvin Green waterproof trousers and they have never leaked on me.

    Have Galvin Green jacket and bottoms and neither have leaked - would recommend both.

    Wouldn't touch anything that isn't gore-tex to be honest so Galvin Green the easy winner.

    I have alot of Sunice gear, price wise it's probably a little cheaper than Galvin Green but quality wise just as good. Not that easy to find though.

    I have a Proquip top and Galvin Green bottoms. Both good but GG have the definite edge.
