Wazza's Thoughts

Finally, a serious sailing jacket that actually fits women properly instead of just shrinking the men’s version and calling it good. Full waterproofing, breathable, and tough enough to cop whatever the sea throws at you. You can move in it, layer under it, and not feel like you’re fighting your own gear every time you tack.

It’s the kind of jacket that makes you wonder why you ever settled for “unisex” before. Offshore, coastal, or racing - this one’s built for the real stuff, not for posing on the dock.

Best for women who want the same hardcore waterproof protection the blokes get, but without the boxy fit and rolled-up sleeves.
