Galway Performance Sizing

Galway Size & Fit Guide

Engineered for distraction-free play. True to size with built-in athletic room for base layers.

Garment Measurements

Tops & Outerwear Sizing

All Galway jackets and layers are engineered with athletic ease. Choose your standard golf apparel size for comfortable layering over a polo or midlayer.

Units:
Size Chest Range
XS 35 - 36.5"
S 36.5 - 38.5"
M 38.5 - 40.5"
L 40.5 - 42.5"
XL 42.5 - 44.5"
2XL 44.5 - 46.5"
3XL 46.5 - 48.5"
Fit Guidance: In most cases you do not need to size up for rain jackets (i.e. Clifden). Galway outerwear already includes room for a baselayer and midlayer beneath it. If you have broad shoulders, you may want to size up.
THE GALWAY SYSTEM

BUILT TO LAYER. BUILT FOR THE ELEMENTS.

Galway gear is engineered as a complete performance system, each layer designed to work together as conditions change. Build from lightweight next-to-skin performance, add insulation or versatile midlayers, then finish with protection from wind and rain.

How to Measure Tops & Outerwear

Chest Measurement: Stand upright with arms relaxed at your sides. Wrap a soft measuring tape horizontally around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape snug under your armpits and level across your shoulder blades.

Between sizes? If you prefer a tailored, streamlined fit for dry rounds, choose the smaller size. If you regularly layer a heavy fleece or thermal midlayer, choose the larger size.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Sizing Questions

Clear answers on layering ease, between-size decisions, and garment care.

Should I size up for Galway rain jackets or outerwear?

In most cases, you do not need to size up for rain jackets (i.e. Clifden). Galway outerwear already includes room for a baselayer and midlayer beneath it without restricting your swing. If you have broad shoulders, you may want to size up.

What is the difference between the Classic Chino fit and Tailored 5-Pocket fit?

The Claddagh Chino Rain Pant features our Classic standard cut with a relaxed drape through the seat and leg, accommodating thermal base layers easily while looking like a refined chino trouser. The Spiddal Five-Pocket Pant features our Tailored modern profile with a cleaner tapered leg line. Neither is a restrictive slim fit; both are patterned for active golf mobility.

How do the Silverstrand and Ayle Over-pants fit compared to golf trousers?

Our over-pants feature comfortable elasticized waistbands and relaxed shell proportions designed to slide effortlessly over golf shorts or trousers. They also feature extended lower-leg zippers so you can quickly pull them on or take them off over your golf shoes right on the fairway when weather changes.

What should I do if my measurements fall between two sizes?

If you prefer a streamlined, closer athletic silhouette for dry or mild conditions, choose the smaller size. If you regularly play in cold climates and layer heavyweight thermals or fleece underneath, choose the larger size. Remember that we offer one free exchange per order if you need to adjust after trying it on.

How does the one free exchange policy work?

We offer one free size or style exchange per order on eligible items within 30 days of delivery. Provided your items are unworn and unwashed with original tags attached, our support team generates a prepaid shipping return label so you can swap for your ideal size without extra shipping charges.

How should I wash and care for my Galway waterproof apparel?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle using mild liquid detergent. Avoid powdered detergent, bleach, fabric softeners, or harsh stain removers, as these can coat technical waterproof membranes. Tumble dry on low heat or line dry; low heat helps reactivate the exterior water-repellent finish.
