Men's thermal tops are the ideal first layer for tackling winter dinghy sessions: worn under a wetsuit, jacket or drysuit, they retain body heat and wick sweat away from the skin. Hydrophobic fleece fabrics such as HydroPhobic Fleece and VCold stay warm even when wet, extending comfort on the water.
Grid fleece or technical fleece construction delivers thermal insulation with minimal bulk, while ergonomic cuts and stretch fabrics follow the movement of shoulders and torso without restricting hiking out. Available in long-sleeve and zip or non-zip versions for fine temperature control.
To choose, consider the climate: thick fleece suits deep winter, thin baselayers suit mid-season and as a layer under lycra. Ideal on ILCA, 470, 49er and Finn. Leading brands: Zhik, Vaikobi, GUL and Musto.
