Sailing Salopettes & Hi-Fits
Salopettes and hi-fits are the waterproof lower half of your foul weather system, with high backs and braces that seal out spray. We split them by condition to match your sailing.
What to look for:
- Daysailing / Inshore: Lighter bottoms for inshore day sailing.
- Coastal: Waterproof salopettes for near-shore passages.
- Offshore: High-back bib trousers for bluewater protection.
Who it's for: Sailors who need waterproof protection below the waist to complete their kit.
