  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Thermal Underwear: Modern lightweight thermal clothing wicks perspiration away from the skin and is perfect to wear under a waterproof outer layer.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.
