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:
Bought when I changed the wheels - arrived well wrapped with the wheels and on time. Easy to fit quality product. Good service
Easy to fit and seem to be robust as a replacement for my Trolley wheels. Arrived as promised very well wrapped. Worth checking if you need new washers and clips to add to your order.
Though not cheap this control line swivel block is just the job. Well worth the money imho.
Always can rely on sailing chandlery leading up to a busy event season ! Great service, great products all round !
Excellent, fair pricing, fast delivery! Would recommend
Slides easily through the blocks whilst providing firm grip
Item has brilliant bounce back ability, thanks
Simple to fit and makes launching and recovery simple. Well worth the investment
Quality material and design enables my lug sail to be stowed securely on it's spars
Great wide and grippy tyres for a shingle/sharp launching area and compound for an RS400.
Receive fantastic service couldn’t help any more if they tried. Arranged for me to collect my order at a time that suited even when it was outside of working hours. Much appreciated, thank you sailing Chandlery.
Excellent gloves, perhaps the best I have used. The fingers are long enough to provide protection from sheets/halyards and fit nicely so that ropes cannot get between the glove and finger. If the winter gloves are any guide they should also be very durable.
really happy with these! the thick material means that I will be warm whilst sailing, and the 3 finger coverage allows mobility and warmth on the water. the added grip will really help on the heavy wind reaches, can't wait to test them out this weekend. shipping was really quick, with a sweet included in my order thank you.
As always, great stock, quick delivery, perfect, thank you
The footprint of these is much more than standard trolley wheels so they roll on sand much easier.
