⚡ At a Glance
- • Weather Protection: XPLORE+ three-layer waterproof breathable fabric with SHIELD PFAS free water repellent and windproof protection
- • Best for: Offshore and inshore sailors who need reliable waterproofing and durability in harsh conditions
- • Not ideal for: Casual summer sailing when heavy waterproof layers are unnecessary
Three-layer XPLORE+ fabric balances waterproofing with breathability for extended wear. Fully taped seams and a YKK Aquaseal front zipper resist heavy spray and short immersion.
Reliable waterproofing and breathability – with XPLORE+ three-layer fabric and SHIELD PFAS free water repellent
Three-layer construction combines a waterproof outer layer with a breathable membrane and protective inner layer, while SHIELD treatment reduces surface wetting without PFAS chemicals. The fabric allows moisture vapour to escape while blocking wind and spray.
Stays drier during prolonged exposure and reduces internal condensation, so layering choices remain comfortable during long watches.
Secure seals and entry – with pre-marked Glideskin neck and cuff seals, fully taped seams and a YKK Aquaseal front zipper
Pre-marked Glideskin seals are trim-to-fit for a personalised seal, fully taped seams prevent water penetration at joins, and the YKK Aquaseal zipper is protected by a Velcro storm flap.
Custom-trimmed seals and robust entry design keep water out in heavy spray or short immersion, offering confidence in rough conditions.
Durable deck-ready construction – with reinforced knees and seat, durable fabric socks and low-profile thigh pocket
High-wear zones receive extra reinforcement to resist abrasion from deck work, while fabric socks are designed to withstand contact with sailing boots. A low-profile thigh cargo pocket keeps essentials accessible without bulk.
Toughened areas extend service life on abrasive decks and practical details make long days at the helm easier to manage.
