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

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
