Gill wetsuits are made for dinghy sailing, with stretch where you need it and reinforcement where the boat wears kit out. Unlike a surf wetsuit, they are cut for sitting, hiking and kneeling, with tougher seat and knee panels. Choose from long johns, tops and money saving packages below.
The range splits into two systems. ZenTherm is the warmer option for winter and cold water. ZenLite is thinner and more flexible for spring, summer and warm weather regattas. Both work as a long john with a separate top, so you can add or remove a layer as conditions change through the day.
If you sail all year in the UK, most sailors end up with one of each. If you're buying your first, pick for the months you sail most. A wetsuit package is the simplest way to get a matching long john and top for less. Finish it off with Gill sailing boots and a Gill buoyancy aid, or compare brands in sailing wetsuits.
Some frequently asked questions that other customers have asked us about Gill Wetsuits.
Should I buy Gill ZenTherm or ZenLite?
Choose ZenTherm if you sail through winter or in cold water, as it is the warmer of the two. Choose ZenLite for late spring to early autumn, when you want less bulk and more flexibility. If you sail all year round, a ZenLite set with a ZenTherm top or long john covers most conditions.
What is a wetsuit package?
A package is a long john (sometimes called a skiff suit) and a matching top sold together at a saving. Two pieces are more useful than a one piece suit for dinghy sailing, because you can wear the long john alone on warm days and add the top when it turns cold.
How should a Gill wetsuit fit?
Close to the body, with no loose folds around the lower back, armpits or knees. It should feel snug when dry, as neoprene relaxes a little when wet. Use the size chart on each product page and measure your chest, waist and height. Between sizes? Get in touch and we’ll help.
