The Gill Junior Hydrophobe Top is a high-performance thermal base layer designed to keep young sailors warm and comfortable in cooler conditions. Perfect under wetsuits, drysuits or spray tops, it provides lightweight insulation without restricting movement.

Made from a soft, fast-drying polypropylene blend with 4-way stretch, this junior thermal layer moves naturally with the body while maintaining a close, comfortable fit. The fabric delivers dependable thermal protection and UPF 50+ sun protection, making it ideal for year-round sailing and watersports.

Flatlocked seams reduce irritation during active movement, while integrated thumb loops keep sleeves securely in place when layering, preventing bunching inside wetsuits or outer shells. Lightweight, breathable and quick-drying, it helps regulate body temperature through long training sessions and race days.

An essential piece of junior sailing kit, the Hydrophobe Top delivers reliable warmth, flexibility and comfort for confident days on the water.

Ideal for: Junior sailing, training, paddlesports and cold-water activities
