Mens Gill Dynamic Long John Wetsuit in Black and Ash

Mens Gill Dynamic 3mm Long John Wetsuit for Dinghy Sailing

Kneeling through a roll tack, sliding across the side deck and hiking with the back of your legs pressed on the gunwale: the seat and knees of a dinghy wetsuit take more punishment than any other part. The Gill Dynamic Long John has tough Di-Guard panels in exactly those places, so it stands up to that wear for longer.

It is cut from 3mm BIO foam, a closed cell material made with natural and renewable rubber instead of standard neoprene. It holds warmth close to your body, while four way stretch and a close, next to skin fit let you move freely when hiking, crossing the boat or climbing back in after a capsize. The YKK front zip makes it quick to get in and out of, which you will appreciate when changing in a chilly dinghy park.

The sleeveless long john cut keeps your shoulders and arms free for sheeting, so it suits helms and crews alike. Wear it with a rash vest on warmer days, and add a spray top over the top for early and late season racing, or on a breezy summer day when the wind has a bite.
