Product Description
Designed specifically for female sailors and watersports enthusiasts, the Women’s Hydrophobe Top delivers lightweight thermal protection, comfort, and flexibility when worn under wetsuits, drysuits, and spray tops. Ideal as a high-performance base layer for sailing, paddling, and cold-water activities, it helps regulate body temperature without restricting movement.
Constructed from a soft, fast-drying polypropylene blend with 4-way stretch, this women’s thermal top moves naturally with the body while maintaining a close, comfortable fit. Built-in thermal insulation and UPF 50+ sun protection make it suitable for a wide range of conditions on the water.
Flatlocked seams reduce irritation during active use, while integrated thumb loops keep sleeves in place when layering, preventing bunching inside wetsuits or drysuits.
Lightweight, breathable, and quick to dry, the Women’s Hydrophobe Top is an essential thermal layer for performance, comfort, and year-round protection.
