And yet again I’ll +1 to Dennis’ recommendations. I’m sitting here in my shed
looking at the second set of Patagonia foul-weather gear that I purchased way
back in the early 80’s. For it’s day it was pretty good stuff. FWIW, I met

More random thoughts on foulies. In spite of the rambling prose, hopefully
you'll find a few nuggets in here.
I like the technical gear. As a 40+ year snowsports and outdoor
enthusiast, I've always valued comfort over economy. I bought Gore-Tex and
fleece gear when it first came out. There's a
Adam, there is nothing like good foul weather gear if you've suffered
through the cheap ones. After years of using cheap foulies, they don't call
them WetSkins for nothing, I bought a set of Gill GoreTex coastal gear from
their clearance centre in the USA. What a difference, 6+ hours in the rain
Rob,
I am old enough to remember how it was sailing in the old "oilskins" and
"sou’wester". I did a few off-shore passages in October in the Baltic Sea
(+1 °C - +10 °C) and I now only wish that we had the technical gear that you

All the majors make similar decent foulies. They all fall apart after
several years left on a boat in hot weather.

don't buy LESS than you need. That is, if you are primaril
Gill has a lifetime warranty.

My go-to foulies are Henri-Lloyd. Bought them maybe 10 years ago. Had used
Columbia Titanium rain gear bought cheaply at a Columbia outlet store near
my folks' home from sometime in the 90s until I bought the Henri-Lloyd stuff
when I started sailing offshore.

I've had a Helly Hansen inshore coat for the past 12 years since Helly
Hansen guarantees their gear waterproof for the life of the garment. It has
been replaced once under warrantee but I only paid freight for the new one
(which was also a newer model). It isn't necessarily warm, but is loo
I'm happy with my Helly Hansen gear. I sail all year round, and in the
ocean. The jacket is fleece lined and you can buy a separate fleece
sweater that zips in for additional warmth. You can also use the fleece
sweater by itself. I've had this outfit for more than ten years.
