Waterproof
Garments intended to protect the wearer from the harshest conditions: waterproof fabrics, seams, zippers, pockets and closures constructed in order to prevent water from entering the garment and to protect the wearer from the elements. Secure cuff-closures, storm-flaps over zippers, protected pockets and adjustable hoods provide additional waterproofing protection.
Recycled
Recycled means that a material or product that has been treated using a special process so that it can be used again. At North Sails, we are aware of the dependence that the fashion industry has on non-renewable and finite resources.
TW180
TW180 is our NS TECH non Gore Tex laminate at 180g/m2. When inshore or on short offshores cruising (spanning one or a few days), minimising the weight of foul weather gear benefits both human and boat performance. TW180 strikes the perfect balance between performance and the required durability for this environment
