How Do You Buy A Waterproof Sailing Jacket?
Even in the most pleasant climate, a sailor needs a jacket. The right one should last a long time. Determine a color and style that are right for your sailor. Recent years have seen an increase in options for the “look” of functional sailing gear. Check construction quality. Look for things such as double-stitched seams and satin-lined sleeves. Look at water resistance and breathability. Allowing body moisture to escape is as important as keeping water outside. Inspect the lining. A good jacket will be completely lined with a material such as bunting. Inspect the collar. The collar should zip all the way to the top. Make sure all the pockets zip close.
