Our range of sailing wetsuit tops are designed to provide reliable warmth, flexibility, and protection for active sailors in changeable conditions. Made from high-quality neoprene and technical thermal fabrics, these tops offer essential upper-body insulation without restricting movement - ideal for dinghy sailing, skiff sailing, and high-energy on-water activity.
While engineered with sailing in mind, these wetsuit tops are also well-suited to a wide range of watersports, including kayaking, paddleboarding, and general coastal use. Available in different thicknesses and constructions - from lightweight microfleece layers to superwarm eco-friendly styles - they can be worn on their own in milder weather or layered with skiff suits or sailing trousers when conditions turn colder.
Choose from trusted sailing brands such as Zhik and Gill, with options for men and women built to perform in all water and weather conditions. Complete your setup with compatible sailing jackets, trousers, and sailing boots for a versatile kit that adapts to both sailing and watersports throughout the season.
Some frequently asked questions that other customers have asked us about Wetsuit Tops.
Do I need a wetsuit top or a full wetsuit?
A wetsuit top can be paired with a skiff suit wetsuit and allows more flexibility across a range of temperatures and conditions. A full wetsuit only provides one option with no ability to change.
When should I wear a wetsuit top instead of a spray top?
A wetsuit top is a great option when there is less spray and the sea state is calmer. The wetsuit top will still keep you protected but the spray top will be needed in rougher conditions usually when it is windier, or for longer days on the water.
What do I wear under a wetsuit top?
Underneath your wetsuit top you could wear a thermal base layer, fleecy sailing top or a rash vest in warmer conditions.
Can I wear a spray top over my wetsuit top?
Yes, you can wear a spray top over your wetsuit top. While he wetsuit top locks the heat in a spray top helps to keep the wind and waves away from your body keeping you warmer.
Is a wetsuit top better as a mid-layer or outer layer?
We would use a wetsuit top as an outer layer. In dinghy sailing three layers are possible, an inner layer such as a rash vest or thermal base layer then your wetsuit top. If you want additional protection you could add a spray top as another outer layer.
Are wetsuit tops restrictive?
No, many of our wetsuit tops are made of flexible materials which bend and flex with your body as you move.
