Checklist: What makes a great Sailing Jacket
- Waterproofing: Opt for a jacket with superior waterproofing to ensure you stay dry in harsh weather conditions. Look for high-quality materials and fully taped seams to prevent water ingress. You might also consider combining it with a waterproof adult changing robe to stay dry both on and off the boat.
- Breathability: A great sailing jacket should provide adequate breathability to keep you comfortable. This will help maintain body temperature and reduce moisture build-up from perspiration.
- Durability: Choose a jacket made from robust and resilient fabrics. This ensures it withstands the rigours of water sports and lasts for multiple sailing seasons without significant wear and tear. Pairing it with a wetsuit changing mat can help protect your gear after a day in the water.
- Fit and Adjustability: Ensure the jacket offers a snug but flexible fit with adjustable features like cuffs and hems. This provides personalisation and freedom of movement, essential for active sailing.
- Visibility: For safety, consider jackets with reflective elements or bright colours. These features enhance visibility in low-light conditions, making it easier for others to spot you in case of an emergency. Check out our sailing jackets to find options that combine safety with style.
- Pockets and Storage: Look for jackets with multiple pockets for convenience. Secure, waterproof pockets are great for storing essentials like maps, compasses, or small gadgets while on the water.
