In this section, know what to look for in Sailing Clothing:

  • Suitability

  • Functionality
    You need clothing that will keep you warm, dry, and comfortable. A good choice is clothing made of a material that can wick moisture and dries very fast. Do not wear jeans, as this feels cold when it becomes wet. When sailing during the day, wear clothing that will also protect you from having sunburn.

  • Layers of Clothing
    Just like the Three Layer System which is of emphasis in Outdoor Activities such as Skiing, Snowboarding, and Hiking, wearing more than one layer of clothing is very important in Sailing. Remember that weather changes constantly so it is really convenient if you can just remove or add a layer of clothing.

  • Foul Weather Gear
    Sailing Clothing should be able to protect you in accordance to Weather and temperature changes. Be prepared for constant changes while sailing.

  • There are pieces of apparel that you can count on in times of rough or nasty weather. They are designed to keep you warm and comfortable on a foul weather. They are made of different materials, each having its own features that will meet your needs.

Sailing Clothing does not have to be very extravagant and expensive. Suitability, functionality, and comfort are important points of consideration. Make use of our Sailing Clothing Buying Guide to assist you in the selection process.
