There are moments when we are out in the grips of nature, and we are completely engaged with the world around us. These moments are special and when we experience them, we often find ourselves pining to enjoy that feeling again.
Lovers of sailing, paddleboarding, coastal walking or any other outdoor activity will likely be able to think of many moments of this type. They arise when the natural world and our own world truly come together.
These moments are special and should be cherished. At Gill, we believe in doing what we can to enable future generations to experience these moments too by doing our bit to protect our planet and minimize the impact we have on it.
We want to continue to push boundaries in innovation and product development as that’s at the core of our business, and we want to enable our consumers to push boundaries in what they do too, but we know there is a balance to this. We view it as a responsibility on our part to do what we can to have sustainable practices that help more people experience the natural world around them both now and in the future.
Our sailing clothing and apparel is made in line with our sustainability commitments, but certain items really stand out as being something special. Our new generation OS2 system is a prime example.
Our stunning OS2 Offshore System, made from 98% recycled content
Our Men’s and Women’s OS2 Offshore Jackets and Trousers are made from an incredible 98% reclaimed plastic bottles and recycled fibres. In fact, each OS2 Offshore System contains the equivalent of 14 plastic bottles that have been saved from landfill.
If you are looking for new gear that meets all your needs as a wearer and aligns with your sustainability concerns, then you need look no further.
The beauty of OS2
Our OS2 Offshore System features XPLORE® 2-layer fabric construction. This helps to deliver a waterproof and breathable finish that enables exceptional comfort levels for wearers.
It also features our exclusive plant-based XPEL® fabric finish which delivers a high level of water repellency, stain resistance and odour control, ensuring the highest comfort levels for wearers and keeping you protected from the elements, while also being better for the environment.
The Jacket features a high cut thermal collar for added protection, while the fully lined high-vis hood and 360 degree reflectors offer important safety features, staying protected even in conditions with poor visibility.
Deep cargo pockets with hand warmer pockets behind offer both storage and comfort for long trips out at sea.
The Trousers boast similar features, with the added benefit of adjustable braces and stretch back panel for comfort.
