Dinghy Wear

   Any breathable spraytop will do the job, really. I find the aquafleece too warm in spring or summer. I like a long John wetsuit too, for ease of movement. I tend to go cheap, but you do get what you pay for, within reason. Rash vests are good, though I will often wear a cheap walking T shirt under instead in hot weather. Avoid cotton.

	For a spray top I don't think you can beat the Rooster Aquafleece. https://www.roostersailing.com/pd/Classic-Aquafleece-Top---Unisex_105299.htm They are lined so a lot warmer than a standard splash top. Also consider a pile lined rash vest: http://www.decathlon.co.uk/ss-uv-m-thermal-top-blue-id_8356761.html Beg, borrow or buy some longjohns and that's all you really need. I like my Gul code zero's: https://www.wetsuitoutlet.co.uk/gul-code-zero-3mm-gbs-long-john-wetsuit-charcoal-cz4207-p-9942.html

	Hi All. Went for the ''open day'' at the local SC. Great day. Will be arranging some sailing lessons. Don't have much idea about protection/dinghy wear. Want something like a decent Spray top, (got some boots). What makes ?, what else should I be looking at buying?? Should I be looking at getting the most expensive, or cheapest? (I know you get what you pay for!!), Companies to use? Appreciate your time Terry
