THERMAL LAYERS

Thermal Layers for Sailing: the Heart of the Layering System

Under your foul weather gear is where the real comfort battle is won. Sailing thermal layers are the central link of the layering system: they retain body heat, wick moisture away and let you stay warm and dry even on the longest, coldest passages. The Negrinautica selection covers from the base layer to the intermediate fleece.

You will find base layers in close-fitting technical fabric that manage sweat, thermal fleece midlayers and merino wool pieces with excellent temperature-regulating and anti-odour properties. The key is breathability: a good thermal layer warms you without trapping moisture, avoiding that unpleasant clammy feeling.

How to build your system? Start with a fast-drying base layer next to the skin, add a fleece midlayer for cold days and finish with the waterproof shell. Adjust the layers according to temperature and effort: better to add and remove than to sweat or freeze.

Negrinautica selects thermal layers from leading technical brands such as Musto, Zhik, Helly Hansen and Slam. Free shipping over €200, easy returns within 15 days.
