Verdict: Overall, a excellent piece of kit for those venturing out in truly miserable conditions but a little cumbersome and expensive for the average cruising sailor.
Verdict: It's not exactly gore-tex but it keeps the rain out and the new fabric is claimed to avoid sweat build up. Great as long as you don't mind looking like Cap'n Birdseye!
Verdict: If you're off to the Southern Ocean for a round the world yacht race then don't forget to pack one of these - or even if you just don't like to get wet and cold whilst out and about in the Solent.
Verdict: Ideal for the British summer - lightweight, but zips up to become impervious to the wind and rain with a cosy, high collar to keep out unexpected chills.
