Are sailing jackets good for winter?
The insulation and warmth are musts during winter, but sailing jackets aren’t seasonal. Even during the height of summer, sailing jackets are useful for protection from strong winds and rain we’re all too familiar with in Britain. Warmth and Insulation The loft of the down creates numerous air pockets, effectively trapping heat and providing excellent warmth in chilly environments. However, puffer jackets are designed to retain heat as well and may perform better in wet conditions thanks to their synthetic insulation.The main disadvantage to down jackets is that they’re not waterproof (unless stated otherwise). Moisture causes the down to clump, which will affect the insulating properties, and it will take a long time to dry.For heavy rains, coated nylon or hardshell jackets provide superior wet-weather performance. While you want a jacket to keep external moisture out, it also needs to let interior perspiration escape.

Do you need a sailing jacket?
Whenever you’re sailing, expect there to be wind. And when there’s wind, there’s splashing water. To stay comfortable, invest in a layer that keeps you dry and protects you from wind and flying water. Usually, that means a trusty rain jacket. Sailing can be physically exhausting, so it’s important that sailors come prepared, wearing comfortable and practical clothing that they can get around in on the boat. Wind and heat can be a concern, so layers are always a good option. Sailors will feel tired even faster if they also stop to swim or snorkel.
