Product of the Week: Gill Sail Jacket

On the other side of the pond, our friends at Gill have been quite busy developing some exciting new products to compliment their already great collection of sailing gear. Gill has kept us on the edge of our seats as they have been slowly giving us sneak peeks of what they have been working on, and what we hope the sailing world will be wearing this year.

Since we've been teased by Gill they have been releasing segments of their new line of sailing foul weather gear little by little, we figured we'd return the favor to you. Each week the staff at Sound Boatworks will be giving you a sneak peek at the great new products coming onto the market this Fall/Winter. Some products are ready for purchase, and some you may have to wait a little longer for, so don't forget to add them to your wishlist. Don't worry though, we'll let you know exactly when they'll be ready to ship out....

This week we are introducing the Gill Sail Jacket, a contemporary marine design inspired by the classic & popular Gill Crew jacket, offered at $175. Gill has hit a home run on this piece, bringing an all together new element to their line of nautical clothing - a piece of clothing that is functional, fashionable, and works beautifully both on and off the water. Offered in just two colors, Silver with steel accents and Black with steel, both colors are also adorned with Gill fresh new logo colors of a soft red. What is often overlooked on casual wear are clean areas on the garment to personalize with your boat name, team logo or school colors. However, Gill has left an abundance of room on this piece for such decoration, while still adding a bit of their own flair, for if we wish to wear it as is, it will look as sweet on the water as it does on the dock.

One of the most unique features on the Gill Sail Jacket is the 100% breathable & waterproof fabric that forms it. This is something that is uncommon in crew wear and more so in any piece of clothing that lands under $200. In addition, the Sail Jacket is extremely lightweight with its polyester insulation and 2 layer construction.

Whether you're using the Gill Sail Jacket for your team jacket, wearing it on a crisp fall night keelboat racing, or if you're just walking the dog, it works. It combines everything you need to stay warm and dry as we come into the mild weather of Fall, but also let's you look quite chic as you cruise the docks or hit the watering hole after racing. It offers everything you could ever want in a sailing jacket and then some. Offered in XS-XXL in Silver or Black, the Gill Sail Jacket is a necessary piece in your gear bag, priced at $175
