Functional clothing
Functional clothing in the Aquavento online shop
As a sailor you need good functional clothing that keeps you warm and dry - who would know that better than long-time regatta sailors like us at Aquavento. But sailing clothing should not only protect you from wind and water, but also create a pleasant skin climate. That's why functional clothing is especially important for sailing, because it guarantees optimal breathability. However, in order for all the properties of the clothing to be effective, the three-layer principle - also known as the onion principle - is necessary. At aquavento.com you will find suitable sailing clothing for each layer from well-known and high-quality brands like Gill, Slam and MUSTO. So take your time to browse through our online shop and put together your complete outfit for the next trip.
The first layer of functional clothing - weather protection clothing from Aquavento
The first layer, the base layer, consists of the functional underwear. Here, Slam, Gill as well as MUSTO offer tops, trousers and socks, which we carry here in our online shop. The base layer of functional clothing has the task of transporting moisture away from the skin into the next layer of clothing. This way, the skin climate always stays pleasantly dry. This is especially important when sailing, because here there is a rapid change from strong physical activity and rest phases. That's why functional underwear must absorb and transfer moisture and dry quickly. The thermal underwear is characterized by a high wearing comfort and keeps us sailors warm in any weather on the high seas.
Optimum insulation is provided by the middle layer of sailing clothing
The middle layer, also called insulation layer or midlayer, has the task to protect the body from cold and to keep it warm. Therefore, this layer must not only be breathable, but also thermally insulating. The functional clothing for this layer must therefore consist of fibres that allow water vapour to pass through, absorb hardly any moisture and also dry again quickly. These properties can only be provided by synthetic fibres, as cotton would interrupt the transport of moisture. Fleece or softshell clothing is the best choice here and has excellent insulation and warmth properties, which results from the special structure of the polyester fibre. This allows it to trap a large amount of air. In addition, fleece is an extremely lightweight material that is particularly breathable, dries quickly and is very durable. Again, we offer various functional clothing in the form of jackets, pants, sweaters or salopettes from Gill, Slam and MUSTO.
