While playing football for the Calgary Stampeders on the brink of a chilly Canadian winter, Johnny Forzani noticed his teammates on the sideline were trying to keep their hands warm through the use of two small propane heat tanks. With the vision of creating high-quality apparel that athletes could rely on to help them perform in any conditions, he went overseas and developed heated glove and hand
warmer prototypes eventually worn (and loved) by his teammates. Knowing he was onto something great, John partnered with University of San Francisco alumnus, NCAA Division I golfer, former tech senior executive, and childhood best friend Jesse Galvon to create G-Tech. G-Tech believes in delivering a high-quality product that outperforms its competition through research and development in conjunction with some of the world’s most elite athletes. We are proud to offer our employees a place they look forward to working at every day, having grown to 20 employees at our Calgary and Seattle offices. Everything we make is designed in Canada and manufactured in the USA because we believe in North American manufacturing and local job creation. We also believe in giving back to our community, which is why we donate $1 from every purchase to one of four charities you choose at checkout. We are the proud founders and operators of The Galvani Charity, which supports children in our communities who would otherwise be unable to play organized sports.
