Yachting clothing is available in many different styles and can be found through multiple online retailers. As a part of your yachting hobby, dressing the part can help others on the docks to recognise you, as well as to help you feel more professional about your time spent on the boat.

When you are on your yacht in jeans and a tee shirt, it doesn’t really represent the image of a professional yachter. However, if you are in a great put together outfit complete with Helly Hansen port jackets and high fit trousers, everyone on the dock will know you mean business. Wearing Evolution technical shorts or trousers in a variety of colours along with an Evolution X-Static shirt will help to protect you from the harsh sun but also helps to insulate against the cool weathers found on the water. Here are a few ideas on the yachting clothing available for different weather possibilities while on the water.

Base Clothing

Active base layer tops are made for yachting in warm weather, and offer a seamless shirt that gives areas of ventilation and protection that also comes with a silver ion in the material to help with odours. These types of tops are made of polyamide, polypropylene and elastane and come in a variety of sizes and colours. Extreme base layer trousers are available in multiple sizes as well, and are meant to be worn underneath of outer clothing. These pants are made of polyester polartec, and are able to keep the body warm no matter how cool the waters are. Both items can be found through various retailers online for differing costs.

Middle Layer

Gore-Tex middle layer blouson jackets are available in different colours and sizes as well. These middle layer garments are designed for distance sailing, and allows for a breathable garment that offers little heat loss for those cold overnight trips. Made of polyester, gore and polartec with a PTFE lining, this jacket will help to keep you warm regardless how long you are in the cool air. The Gore-Tex middle layer salopettes are an ideal choice for all over body warmth that still allows breathability. Covering from the neck to the ankle, this armless suit offers the same warmth and minimum heat loss that all middle layer clothing is respected for. Available in many sizes from different retailers, this and the above mentioned blouson can be found for varying prices based on location purchased from.

Footwear

Footwear is a part of yachting clothing that is an ideal way of protecting the feet and adding to your overall appearance. The Leather performance deck shoe is available in half and whole sizes for men and women. These shoes are available in different colours for varying prices based on the retailers visited. These shoes offer total leather upper and leather lining with a padded tongue and collar for comfort. The Grip Deck out sole is ideal for traction on wet docks and yachts and has a removable cushioned foot bed to help dry faster.
