The Gill i5 Headwind jacket is a revolutionary sailing jacket that helps sailors be comfortable in a range of conditions. It features a dynamic mid-layer that uses an ‘intelligent’ temperature regulating technology to optimize comfort. Gill Headwind i5 system actually changes according to varying weather conditions. The Headwind i5 features ‘thermal gates’ within the jacket, these create a dynamic structure. What this means is that the fabric that the jacket is constructed from actually adjusts to the conditions.
Here’s an example: during colder conditions, the thermal gates close (contract) and this keeps your heat in. During warmer conditions the thermal gates expand so that the micro-spaces 'open' which allows excess heat to escape and keep you cool. Pretty excellent!
Because the Gill Headwind jacket adjusts to different temperatures, it is versatile and a great 3 season jacket. It’s also the jacket you’d want to have on board if you do over night sailing where you’d experience significant temperature swings.
The Gill Headwind i5 can also be worn underneath a waterproof layer for the ultimate performance layering system regardless of temperature or weather conditions.
