New In: Gill ZenTherm Dinghy Clothing

Your latest must-have for the 2020 season is the Gill ZenTherm collection, which comes from Gill’s brand-new dinghy range. The collection includes the ZenTherm Skiff Suit and the ZenTherm Top, which are highly technical and easily adaptable pieces that will soon be an indispensable part of your sailing wardrobe. These products are best suited to temperatures of 12-17°C, so perfect for Northern hemisphere sailors.

We’re big fans of the versatility of these pieces, as they’re perfect for mixing and matching with other items, which will allow you to easily adapt your sailing clothing to the temperature. They’re also flexible in the other sense of the word; they’re made from super stretchy neoprene that’s not going to restrict your movement when you need to perform at your peak.

ZenTherm Skiff Suit

The Gill ZenTherm Skiff Suit is a sleek, black, long john style wetsuit, brightened with pops of colour along the seams. Gill have used zoned neoprene technology to offer 3mm of 4-way stretch neoprene, for an exceptionally comfortable fit and all the flexibility where you need it. Additionally, careful attention has been paid to the seams, which have been glued and blindstitched throughout the suit, and reinforced with neoprene taping in high-stress areas.

It’s a highly versatile option, as it can be worn with a warmer top layer (like the ZenTherm Top), or with a rash vest in warmer weather, or even just alone.

Key features include:

• Helioflex quick dry thermal liner: These supersoft panels on the front and back of the suit actively repel water, meaning your core stays dry as well as warm. Additionally, the Helioflex liner remains super flexible, meaning it doesn’t affect the stretch of the suit and won’t restrict your movement on the water.
• X4 Flex Technology: Extra stretch panels have been incorporated around the areas where you’ll need the most flexibility; the underarms, sides, crotch and backs of the knees.
• High Tenacity Di-Guard Neoprene: For increased durability, the Di-Guard panels are featured on the knees and seat of the suit to protect both the suit and you from wear and damage that can be caused by contact with the boat.

Also available in Women’s and Junior sizes.

ZenTherm Top

Upgrade your skiff suit with the Gill ZenTherm Top, giving you extra insulation around your core, where you need it most. Alternatively, this top can be worn with shorts or hikers, depending on the temperature.

It features the same flexible, thermal technology as the skiff suit, with a slightly thinner 2.5mm of neoprene that has also been glued and blindstitched, with critical neoprene taped seams.

Key features include:

• Low-Friction Glideskin Seals: Protection around the neck and hem from chafing, whilst also being warm and comfortable against your skin.
• X4 Flex Technology: Used on the side, underarm, shoulder and lower back panels of the top to ensure maximum stretch where you’ll need it most.
• Helioflex quick dry thermal liner: Water repellent and supersoft, this lining is going to keep your core warm and dry, whilst being extremely comfortable against your skin.
• Slik grip cuff prints: These hold the seals in place.

Also available in Women’s and Junior sizes.

How to layer the ZenTherm range: 

 

Gill ZenTherm is a premium line of exceptionally well thought out sailing clothing, designed to allow you to have maximum freedom on the water. Though it has been primarily designed with dinghy sailing in mind, both the top and the skiff suit would be suited to kayaking and SUP as well, as they facilitate so much movement in the upper body. If you need warmth and comfort on the water, you’ve found what you’re looking for.
