Why Buy Sailing Jackets?

Find out about why a sailing jacket is great not only out to sea, but for everyday use too. The following shows you what to look out for when shopping for sailing jackets...

Features
The seams should be double stitched for maximum strength and the entire sailing jacket, including the sleeves should be lined. The collar must have a zip that runs all the way round and pockets should zip up too. It is also common to find waterproof jackets with no pockets to prevent the risk of leakage.

Consider
Remember, it does not have to be cold for it to rain. This means it is important to find sailing jackets that are roomy and allow perspiration to escape so that you don’t get too hot on wet summer days. You should also buy a jacket according to the type of boat you are on as you may need higher protection on vessels with not much inside space.

Comfort
Aside from the protection it provides you, a sailing jacket must also feel comfortable. This is especially true if you are going to be active on the boat because you want to be able to move freely without having to worry about being restricted. There is no reason why you cannot enjoy yourself through horrid weather!
