“The Gill brand embodies comfort, style, performance and value…”

If you are looking for the best foul weather gear or sailing jackets as either a coastal cruiser, offshore sailor or performance boater, Gill is one of the brands you should check out.  The Gill brand embodies comfort, style, performance and value.

Gill was established in 1975 inside a small factory in Nottingham England. The founder Nick Gill, was an avid dinghy sailor and saw the need for sailing clothing that could be relied upon to perform in the most adverse conditions, was fairly priced and was backed by a company passionate about performance and quality. Gill foul weather gear is now sold all over the world and the products have developed into some of the best and most popular marine clothing available anywhere.

Gill foul weather products are known for being highly breathable, functional, stylish and a great value relative to other brands.  The Gill Yellow Dot™ Fabric Classification System has brought a simplicity to the market that separated the different fabrics for different uses. The higher the number of dots, the more breathable and durable the fabric.

Gill is best known for its line of foul weather gear, including foul weather jackets, trousers and bibs for the racer, coastal cruiser or off-shore sailor.  Gill also produces a line of other boating products including performance sailing gloves for the racer or cruiser, sailing watches, foot wear, sunglasses and more duffel bags.

The Gill system recognizes the importance of layering for the ocean elements and they provide a line of hi-tech base layers (i2 base layers), mid-layers (i3, i4 & i5 mid layers) and outer layers.
