Having a cold head, feet or hands is never ideal while sailing. You'll soon be distracted by being cold and you'll lose your concentration making your sailing and racing less enjoyable.
In this article we are going to focus on some products we have to help keep your feet warm while sailing in colder conditions.
Made from flexible neoprene these sailing socks are made from a 2mm neoprene material.
In the construction the seams are glued and blind stutched helping to keep the cold water outside of the socks.
Magic Marine have also pre shaped the socks to ensure you have the best comfort for your feet and ankles.
As an additional benefit the polar lining on the inside helps keep your feet toasty warm with excellent comfort.
Zhik Superwarm socks are slightly thicker being made from 3mm neoprene and are an extension of the famous Superwarm wetsuit range.
Zhik Superwarm sailing socks also feature superstretch neoprene but with a fast drying hydrobase inner lining. Add these two features together and they provide extreme thermal insulation, flexibility and warmth for you as a sailor in those colder conditions.
These superwarm socks are ideal to be worn under your boots, tuck them inside your wetsuit and they'll keep your feet dry because they are glued in construction.
I personally use these as my sock of choice, walking into cold water and not feeling the water running around your toes is brilliant. You know your feet are going to stay dry giving you the best chance of keeping warm.
Combine these socks with a Superwarm wetsuit and you'll be set for winter and colder sailing.
To keep your hands warm why not try one of the following products:
The sail numbers were simple to attach
Great value for money and swiftly delivered as always by Sailing Chandlery.
Very good sunglasses, I’ve just had eye surgery and was struggling with peripheral light sensitivity, these are great for that and will be terrific next season sailing.
Great to see these available again, much better quality and sensitivity than the alternatives
We have just purchased the Mersea twin Laser box trailer. Ordering the trailer, and adding the lid afterwards, was easy and straightforward with accurate lead times for its delivery. We paid for delivery to the South Coast and the trailer arrived bang on time along with other items we ordered. Fantastic customer service all round!
The trailer had its first trip this weekend, a 3hr drive on a mixture of town, country and motorway roads and it was a dream to tow - no noise save the odd rattle across potholes, easy to see in the car mirrors and very easy to connect and pull. It's also easy to manoeuvre two by just two people.
Our junior sailor was delighted by capacious box section with two access points and he was able to stow all of his kit to travel and then all covers, bags and kit whilst on the water today.
We're very pleased with the trailer - thank you Sailing Chandlery!
Good quality splicing tool, sensible price and swiftly delivered. Thank you
The mast was delivered the next day what a excellent delivery service I had the mast by 0830 I now know I can count on you, well done.
The 100m reel of 4mm pre-stretched polyester rope I ordered for our Club's fleet of training dinghies is very good quality and really competitively priced. It arrived quickly so we could re-rig control-lines before the week's training course finished.
Quick to order and fast delivery, thank you. Good to have the wheel washers and retaining clips included in the package.
Cannot fault the service received. Queries responded to very quickly, thank you Jason. Very fast, efficient despatch and delivery. My son is very happy with the Aqua fleece.
Wouldn't hesitate to use again.
Great service from Sailing Chandlery - ordered late Thursday evening and my order was dispatched on the Friday, delivered on the Monday (standard delivery option).
The Salopettes seem well made, good fit (per sizing guide) and comfortable. Also very lightweight - time will tell if that equates to less durable as they are definitely far thinner material than others I've had from different manufacturers in the past. I've only tried them on at home so far, so not tested them in the wet but I'm pretty confident they should do the job.
fast delivery with no problems
Ordered Zhik boots and wetsuit easily enough on-line, quick email response reviewing order, and they were despatched same day. Wetsuit is awesome, I wrongly ordered the boots size, a quick phone call, they explained what I needed to do, and they’ve changed them super quick. Didn’t miss any days sailing……..Highly recommend.
Got a set for my son who's 6' 3" and 92KG and L was way too small. Spoke to someone on the phone who was very helpful on sizing. Actually, went for a XXL in the end and he is happy with that fit so I would say these come up a bit small compared to other manufacturers although I guess you want a tight a fit as possible with hikers.
Vert happy with the service and advice. Video was helpful too.
Good quality product that was delivered very quickly
