If you are new to sailing, you might not be aware that as the water gets rougher and the weather gets colder, an upgrade in your sailing clothing is not just recommended, it is essential. Although some lightweight apparel might be sufficient in the summertime, once the weather cools down it is imperative that you stay warm and dry even if the weather is cold and wet.
The first recommendation we make for people new to sailing, is to get a splash jacket. Splash jackets are kinds of sailing jackets that are made with a thick outer nylon shell, which can cut through wind and resist water. At the same time, they are lined with lightweight yet warm fleece to keep you warm inside. Heavy-duty sailing jackets are one of the first purchases we recommend for individuals new to sailing, because keeping the upper body core warm is essential to maintaining body functions in the face of extreme weather conditions. Our sailing jackets are made with a multi-ply shell that is designed to stop water from seeping in to your clothes and skin below, while remaining comfortable and breathable as you keep sailing.
The next recommendations we have would be to layer up with a performance dry shirt. These sailing shirts are an essential piece of sailing apparel as it draws moisture away from the body keeping you dry and warm throughout the entire day of sailing. As for bottoms our shorts are water resistant with a Cordura seat patch which will keep you dry and comfortable trimming the sails or riding it out on the rail.
