Gill Launch Race Collection ahead of Cowes Week

27th June 2011
Gill Launch Race Collection ahead of Cowes Week
Gill launch their race collection just in time for Cowes. The Race Collection is the most innovative, highest performing race gear available today, and even includes the lightest performance sailing jacket ever made.

The Gill Race Collection consists of 13 products, all extremely breathable, lightweight and have a UV protection factor of 50+. Highlights include the Race Jacket that is more than 15% lighter than any comparable product in the market place today and the Race ¾ Tights - a design-first, incorporating a foam pad to protect against painful chaffing on the rail and means that even after a full week racing in Cowes sailors will still be hiking hard.

With events like Cowes Week in mind, the Race Collection is specifically designed for performance in hot and sunny conditions. Anyone on the water in the Gill technical kit will enjoy total freedom of movement in breathable clothing that will not only protect them from the wet, but also the harsh effects of ultraviolet radiation. Gill specialises in total protection whatever the weather; and the Race Collection has three layer categories: lightweight waterproof jacket, smock and trousers; Softshell; and 'next to skin' products which include T-shirts, shorts and accessories. The layering system ensures comfort in all conditions and provides crews with a winning edge in performance and style.

The Gill Race Collection is available to purchase throughout Cowes Week from the Gill retail tent situated in the Yacht Haven and from the Aquatogs store on Cowes High Street, and online at www.gillmarine.com
