That Cheap Foul Weather Sailing Gear Might Cost Your Life!

With a myriad of choices on the market today it can be hard to pick the right sailing foul weather gear.

Many manufacturers focus on waterproofness, breathability, and visibility, but the cheaper manufacturers don't tend to optimize their designs for draining water from the liner and pockets.

In this video we demonstrate how much water a cheap PVC foul weather suit can retain versus a more expensive Gore-Tex jacket designed specifically to shed water from the liner and pockets.

That may not seem like a big deal, but it could literally mean the difference between life and death if you fall in the water.
