Gill Marine Winter Sailing Items at Sailing Chandlery

Towards the end of 2021, we welcomed some great winter products from Gill onto the website. Here are 5 of our favourites and why you should be using them.

Gill has had lots of experience making drysuits and this is an evolution from a tried and tested design. This Gill drysuit is a perfect choice for a range of water sports activities. Featuring the Xplore+ 3 layer fabric for a highly breathable and waterproof drysuit. The neck and cuffs have the ability to be adjusted and have pre-marked cutting lines.
