This season, Gill launches the most breathable, lightweight, flexible and waterproof successor ever, to their best selling Key West range of coastal and offshore clothing.  It is called the OS2 range and will be officially launched at the London International Boat Show in January 2009.

Gill OS2 is based on the new two-layer laminate 3 Dot fabric that makes the Jacket and Trousers softer to touch, lighter in weight, more pliable and even more breathable, without compromising in any way on performance and durability.  If you are an offshore or coastal sailor, then the OS2 range is designed for you.

In addition, the Gill OS2 Jacket combines sharp new styling, accentuated with graphic details, and many innovative features, but also incorporates the classic Gill fit.  For example: laser cut retro-reflective detail on the hood, shoulders, chest and cuffs; full-height, fleece-lined collar with an integral florescent yellow hood; hood drawcord elastic lead via rubber fairleads for easy accessibility; spray visor; double storm guards with a reverse lip to protect the zip; adjustable double cuffs; adjustable hem; lifejacket attachment loops; easy access wallet pocket; carefully designed zipped storage pockets and hand warmer pockets that minimise water ingress.  The list is almost endless.

Of course, at Gill, garments are also designed specifically for Women, and the Gill OS2 Women’s Jacket combines the same practical features as the Men’s Jacket but with functional feminine styling and a cut that is more suitable for the female form.  Women will also appreciate the convenience of the completely new drop-seat design of the Gill OS2 Women’s Trousers.  A new gusset system on either side not only makes the Trousers easier to use but also significantly improves their waterproof integrity.

Salopette–style trousers are available in men and women’s styles and continue the Gill reputation of a good fitting, classic-style sailing trouser. Both have fleece-lined hand warmer pockets and, for extra wear, both are reinforced at the seat and knee. The trousers’ cut includes pre-shaped knees that ensure a more comfortable fit with greater freedom of movement, and they also include a multi-tool attachment point.

With five jacket and three trouser colour options, Gill OS2 foul weather gear is competitively priced and bound to become a firm favourite on the water.
