Wet, Dry & Spray Suits
Hints for Staying Comfortable
- Dress for the conditions and layer as necessary.
- Wear underwear that “wicks” moisture away from your skin (polypro, wool).
- “Vent” (open zipper for a few seconds) suit between races or as appropriate and safe.*
- Add or remove a warm (wool, neoprene, polypro) hat or cap to balance temperature.
- Return to shore ASAP if you feel that you are not going to be comfortable.
* Warning: Do not sail with dry suit zipper open! If you capsize and suit fills with water, you will be in real danger!
Layer for Warmth and Comfort
- Use short or long-sleeve rash guards.
- Gul fleece: purpose designed for wearing under your dry suit.
Accessories Add Warmth
- Boots: If your boots seem too small to accommodate your new latex dry socks, consider purchasing a pair of boots one size larger.
- Gloves: Gul Dry Gloves give a real waterproof seal with dry suit wrist cuffs.
- Cap or Hood: A neoprene cap or hood is the easiest way to control up to 20% heat loss or retention.
