The first question you need to ask yourself is “do I sail overnight?” If the answer is “yes,” then Ocean/Offshore Foul Weather Gear is the category for you. If you only sail during the day, you can find the perfect protection in the Coastal/Inshore Foul Weather Gear and Dinghy/One Design categories.
What makes the items in the Ocean/Offshore Foul Weather Gear category right for the overnight sailor is:
Weight and Durability of Fabric
High Collars
Low Bottom Cut
Waterproof construction
These are the basic qualities common to all manufacturers and styles. The differences are about the style of the cut:
Boxier vs. more tailored. Here the challenge is to give you enough room for layering, while still having a garment that gives you the most freedom of movement and doesn’t “get in the way.”
Accessory pockets. The debate here is over having enough places to keep EPIRB’s, knives, VHF, etc., vs. breathability. Remember, even the most advanced breathable fabric won’t function at its optimum level if it is layered with pockets. The general rule: the more active you are the fewer pockets you want.
