Gill Pro Smock Top

Gill Pro Smock Top

The summer is coming to an end, cooler weather is around the corner and the intercollegiate and interscholastic sailing seasons are kicking off. It’s the perfect time to start preparing with the right cold weather sailing gear. One of the most important and versatile pieces in a dinghy sailor’s gear bag is the dinghy smock, popularly referred to as the spray top.

The Gill Pro Top Smock is the perfect top layer for dinghy sailors. It keeps sailors dry in a wide variety of sailing conditions. It can be worn with a rash guard and sailing shorts in moderate weather or over a hiking suit and a fleece layer in the coldest weather. Gill engineered this smock for unrestricted movement allowing sailors to quickly move across the boat without feeling cramped.

The Gill Pro Top Smock is designed with comfort, breathability and waterproofing in mind. It is waterproof with adjustable seals at the wrists, neck and waistband. The neck seal is unique in its ability to unzip which helps a lot on those sweaty downwind legs.

The Women’s Version of the Gill Pro Smock Top is designed with a more flattering line and is available in a variety of colors including Purple and Berry. The Berry version is especially popular with college sailors. Our friend and college sailor Ataly Asher has been wearing hers for a year now and says that it is very durable and still looks like it did the day she bought it. She also commented that they fit true to size and that the Women's fit is great.
