If you're heading out onto the water over the colder UK months then you're going to need protection against the cold, and you might get lucky with a little bit of sunshine.

It's important to make sure you're prepared for the conditions, whatever they may throw at you.

Here are our top 5 items we recommend for sailing in the colder weather.
