A fine fleece? i use a gill micro fleece underneath my Spray top and have done for 3 years or so, it dries a lot quicker than the aquafleece does, is fairly lightweight and doesnt absorb that much water so works pretty well. |

I've just got the aquafleecey gloves going to try them 2moro but the soft warmness is drawing me towards getting an aquafleece aswelll already and I haven't actually sailed in them yet! they seem pretty popular! Happy winter Sailing! |

i wouldnt want to try it!! i am quite sure that the matterial used in the aquafleeces and stuff similar is quick drying and also wont absorb water.
to be honist it is probily worth just buying a new spraytop/aquafleece cos will last a while and they are really nice and warm. happy winter sailing

Because my one of my other hobbies/sports is scuba diving, and i only
do that in warmer climates i have a selection of wetsuits to choose
from depending on the weather:
5mm longy 5mm shorty 3mm shorty And the 5mm shorty is designed to fit on top of the 5mm longy to give extra protection round the trunk. Not much i can't go out in, it's just choosing semi decent days to enjoy it. In the summer board shorts, t-shirt and nowt else. |
