Gill Mens Hydrophobe Thermal Top - Black

The Gill Hydrophobe Top is a high-performance thermal base layer designed for sailing and watersports. Worn under a wetsuit, drysuit or spray top, it delivers lightweight warmth, close-fitting comfort and dependable protection in cold and changeable conditions.

Constructed from a soft, fast-drying polypropylene blend with 4-way stretch, the Hydrophobe Top moves naturally with your body while maintaining a comfortable next-to-skin fit. The fabric provides effective thermal insulation and UPF 50+ sun protection, making it suitable for year-round use — from cold-water sessions to sunnier training days.

Flatlocked seams minimise irritation during active movement, while integrated thumb loops keep sleeves securely in place when layering, preventing bunching inside wetsuits or drysuits. Lightweight, breathable and quick-drying, it helps regulate body temperature and maintain comfort during long days on the water.

Whether used as a technical base layer beneath neoprene or as an insulating layer under outer shells, the Hydrophobe Top is an essential piece of sailing kit for dependable all-season performance.
