GILL THERMOSHIELD SAILING TOP - GREY

MENS ZHIK HYDROPHOBIC FLEECE SAILING TOP

Keep yourself warm on the water with this excellent mens spandex fleecey top that also has water repellency built in.

This sailing top stretches to keep the top close to your body while the soft fleece lining inside provides warmth and also wicks any sweat or moisture away from your body.

We would wear this for most of the year, maybe swapping out for a normal spandex top on the warmer days of the UK sailing season.

The Zhik Hydrophobic fleece sailing tops are proving to be a very popular choice for top sailors world wide and it's one of our favourite sailing products in our kit bag.
