OS1 JACKET

Originally the Atlantic jacket, our OS1 remains the ultimate ocean sailing jacket. Its technology has been pushed to the limits by sailors worldwide, from Chessie Racing in the 1997 Whitbread Race to the Illbruck crew in the 2001 Volvo Ocean Race, and even by Arctic explorers in the harshest conditions imaginable. This pinnacle of technical marine apparel has always been armour against the unpredictable.

For 25 years, it has been the trusted companion of countless adventurers, including Conrad Colman across two Vendée Globes. Its lasting appeal is a direct result of its unwavering performance and timeless design. Today’s offshore jacket builds upon decades of technical expertise and valuable feedback from professional adventurers and racers, solidifying its position as a cornerstone of our product range.

DINGHY SMOCK

Driven by the need for technical and protective dinghy clothing suitable for his time on the River Trent, a young Nick Gill developed our original dinghy smock. This garment, designed for both protection and performance, quickly became central to our dinghy product line, inspiring continuous advancements. Our dedication to the sport is evident in our support of elite athletes and teams along the way, including the Olympic British and US Sailing teams.
