Dry in ocean conditions, plus added comforts
"I have worn these salopettes for several years on ocean racing teams, getting quite alot of time offshore with them. Safe to say they’ve kept me dry, which is not a small task - but the real icing on top is the built-in knee pads. You can also replace these as needed. There are more adjustments than I’ve had on other brands, like a velcro strap behind the knee - which make the sizing more versatile. I’m 5’ 6” and 140 lbs, and I wear a small. It’s a little on the big side but allows for plenty of movement."

The gear is amazing! Unfortunately had to return it.
"I wanted to let you know that I absolutely loved your salopettes—the quality and design are excellent. Unfortunately, I had to return mine because the Small size was still too large for me. I strongly encourage you to consider offering XS and XXS sizes. There’s a significant market of smaller sailors, and many of us struggle to find gear that fits properly. Most sailing apparel on the market tends to run large, and having more inclusive sizing options would really help meet the needs of a wider range of customers. Thank you for considering this feedback—I hope to be able to purchase from you again in the future!"

6. 5 Racing Salopette
"Poor fit around neckline. If you are under 5’10” or so (I am a 5’7” slim medium male), you will want to adjust shoulder strap to shortest setting. This also leaves the right & left side of neckline cutting into your neck. In my opinion, the neckline should be a little more open so as to prevent this. I suggest try on before purchase. Rest of garment runs large as you would expect."
