What To Wear When Sailing In Cold Weather
                     What To Wear When Sailing In 
Cold Weather
Cold, wet weather offers more challenges to staying comfortable. 
Remember, just because a day looks dry and warm in the morning 
doesn’t mean it’s going to stay that way. 
Keep Yourself Warm:
 In cold or wind, you must stay dry inside wind- and waterproof 
clothing that retains your body heat. Wet skin gets cold 30 times 
quicker than dry skin, so your clothing must keep moisture away 
from the skin while maintaining dry, warm air close to the body. 
Adjustable Wrist and Ankle Seals: 
These provide a comfortable, water-resistant fit when worn with 
shoes, boots, or gloves. If conditions are extremely wet, neoprene 
seals provide a good grip at the wrists without constricting 
blood flow.
Thermal Underwear:
Modern lightweight thermal clothing wicks perspiration away 
from the skin and is perfect to wear under a waterproof 
outer layer.
Trousers
High-Cut Trousers:
Choose a design with heavily reinforced knees and seat to add 
durability.
Bib-and-Braces Design:
 Many sailors favor this style. Like all sailing trousers, they 
should be a loose fit to allow you to wear warm layers 
underneath.
Trousers
Desirable Features:
Look for a heavy-duty two-way zip with flaps, hand-warmer 
fleece-lined pockets, and adjustable ankle closures and braces.
Add Layers:
In cold conditions, you should wear warm layers underneath the 
trousers and a water – and windproof jacket over the top.
