Best waxed for sailing? What is the best clothing company against the elements for women? Gill is a good company, because thats about the only company that I saw. So what is the difference between ocean / offshore and inshore / coastal? Thank you very much, I'm going to start sailing next year, and have no idea of sailing across the world for the moment.
If you're in Cape Cod dinghy you need to wear clothing that protects you in case of captize in cold water, the best solution is either a sequel to dry (expensive) or some type of wetsuit. Gill has some new fabrics that work well as the costume of a weight wet summer.
Overalls thermal design
Unlike neoprene, the Gill Speedskin is breathable, it offers the comfort of a day on its own in warm conditions or as a layer thermal comfort in cold weather. Made from an elastic 3-layer soft shell fabric with a polar carrier, the material is waterproof, breathable and windproof. The ergonomic cut of the Speedskin is designed to fit close to the body without impeding movement. The zip opening has an inner flap for comfort against the skin. The armholes and neckline of a PU binding to help prevent water infiltration.

Hope this helps
Where will you sail?
What are you going to navigate (what size / type of boat)?
What type of sailing you will do (race / cruise / pleasure)?
Is this your boat or someone elses? If someone elses, they will not have material for you?
Generally (all ranges) the vessel owner will be able to provide for some of the waxed part - especially new people. Once you are the bug and want to do more, you can buy your own equipment Musto.
