Sailing Spandex Shirts

Spandex sailing shirts are lightweight, stretch tops worn next to the skin for freedom of movement and sun protection. Four-way stretch and quick-dry fabric keep you cool and unrestricted while hiking, trapezing or racing in warm conditions.

What to look for:

  • Four-way stretch: Moves with you through every hike and tack.
  • Quick-dry: Lightweight fabric that sheds spray and dries fast.
  • Sun protection: UV-rated coverage for long days on the water.

Who it's for: Dinghy and keelboat sailors who want unrestricted, breathable stretch layers for warm-weather sailing.
