Jean-Marie Liot

This week, we dress the sailor so that he can enjoy his boarding to the fullest. From head to toe, shoes, hat and jacket, here is what you need to be warm during the preseason sailing.

Typhoon, TX-3+ Offshore Jacket and Dungarees

The Typhoon brand, part of Plastimo, is launching a range for the nautical industry. For optimal protection of the sailor, the TX-3+ jacket and overalls are constructed with a 3-layer waterproof and breathable fabric. Cordura inserts protect wear areas. The high collar is textile lined. It is fully adjustable and contains an ergonomic hood and facemask. This unisex model is only available in red. Jacket: 450 euros and overalls 350 euros.

Lagoped, a technical cap to keep your head warm

In order not to be cold, you have to cover your extremities. The Lagoped cap is composed of a microfleece band to keep the heat at the head. Lagoped is a brand that proposes a vision of outdoor textile, more ethical and more responsible. Refusing to use nature to make their products, Lagoped clothing and accessories are made from recycled materials. The entire collection is made in Europe, in order to favor short circuits and to defend the values they hold dear: commitment, freedom and sharing. GEBO technical hat, 35euros

TBS Speedcraft, the shoe for the boat deck

The Speedcraft is a very technical deck shoe. It innovates with its Technigrip technology sole adapted to the practice of boating on wet decks. And by combining an innovative material, Matryx, from the French company Chamatex, a specialist in technical weaving. Unlike fully coated textiles, each Matryx thread is individually coated. During intense efforts or in everyday life, the feet breathe and remain dry: perspiration or water from the sea spray is evacuated. This performance model is available in 2 other forms: a sportswear model in recycled polyester and another in leather. Price 150 euros
