The Gill Junior Aero 2.0 makes one part of it easy: a YKK zip down the side means they can pull the boots on and off themselves, even with cold hands and a drysuit already on.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWarmth is the other half of the job. The upper is 5mm double-lined neoprene, thicker than the Junior Edge, which makes this the warmest boot in Gill's junior range and a sensible choice for winter training, race training weekends and long sessions sitting in a support boat.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGlued and blindstitched seams keep water ingress down, and a wide adjustable ankle strap sits over the zip to take the strain off it and hold the foot steady. That strap matters with a zip closure, because it stops the boot loosening off halfway through the session.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe sole is medium-stiff rather than rigid, which gives comfort for walking, launching and general sailing while still offering support on deck. There is moulded textured reinforcement across the bridge for hiking strap contact, and the wrap-around natural rubber sole is non-marking, so no scuffs across club floors or a parent's boat.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is the boot for beginners, club sailors and anyone doing longer, less intense days afloat. If your child races a hiking boat and spends the beat on the toe straps, the Junior Edge 2.0 has the stiffer sole and the lace fit they will want.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eGill Junior Aero 2.0 Neoprene Sailing Boot Key Features\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e5mm double-lined neoprene, the warmest boot in the junior range\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eYKK zip closure so children can get them on and off themselves\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWide adjustable ankle strap to reinforce the zip and add support\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMedium-stiff sole balancing comfort with support underfoot\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMoulded textured reinforcement across the bridge for hiking strap grip\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWrap-around non-marking natural rubber sole\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGlued and blindstitched seams to reduce water ingress\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUpdated rear ankle construction for improved flexibility\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eJunior sizes 35\/36 and 37\/38\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gill","offers":[{"title":"35\/36","offer_id":58373639471487,"sku":"970J-BLK01-35\/36","price":72.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"37\/38","offer_id":58373639504255,"sku":"970J-BLK01-37\/38","price":72.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0138\/5899\/6288\/files\/0646dc17-690f-4749-a19d-5ebab42e4abf.jpg?v=1788671857","url":"https:\/\/www.sailingchandlery.com\/products\/gill-junior-aero-2-0-sailing-boots-black-zip-entry","provider":"Sailing Chandlery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
