What To Wear

Gill prides itself on having a brand and products  that people can trust.  Moving up a gear from the introduction of its yellow dot fabric classification system earlier this year, our founder, Nick Gill, has compiled a no-nonsense, What to Wear Guide, available right here online, to help you make the right choice when you're buying marine clothing.
What to Wear covers clothing requirements for every type of boating, as well as recommendations for individual levels of expertise and climate considerations. Information is provided on layering, fabrics and design details, jargon busting the terms breathability, waterproofing and durability.
Every activity the company undertakes falls within the context of Gill guiding the enthusiast through the myriad of clothing and fabrics as well as pricing options now available.
