Thermal Base Layers for Dinghy Sailing

Thermal base layers are the essential first layer for dinghy sailors in cold seasons: worn under a wetsuit, jacket or drysuit, they retain body heat and wick moisture away from the skin. Hydrophobic fleece fabrics such as HydroPhobic Fleece and VCold stay warm even when wet, ensuring all-day comfort.

In this category you will find thermal tops for men, women and kids, thermal pants and shorts for adults and youth, and underfleece all-in-one suits — the famous "Super Pippo" — designed to be worn under drysuits. Grid fleece construction combines lightness, breathability and insulation.

To choose, consider temperature and activity: thin tops are ideal as a mid-season baselayer, while thick fleece and all-in-one suits suit winter and foiling. Leading brands for thermal base layers: Zhik, Vaikobi, GUL and Musto.
