Just how comfortable you are when boating inshore, coastal or offshore can depend very much on the sailing trousers or salopettes you wear.
Of all the sailing clothes you choose, your trousers, salopettes or hi-fits take the most wear and will impact your mobility if you haven't made the best choice. Fortunately, we have a great range of options for men, women and kids from leading brands including Helly Hansen, Gill, Musto, Zhik, and Magic Marine. Which style you go for is a partly personal choice. The bib and brace tailoring of salopettes, or hi-fits, is a preference for many as you get extra protection well above the waistband and they won't fall down your body as you move about.
Waterproof trousers on the other hand are generally more convenient to get on and off - and the lighter-weight examples can double as shore wear too. If you prefer matching sets, have a look at our jacket & trousers combinations, or match a separate sailing jacket yourself. Whichever way you go, do have a good browse through our product descriptions for information on useful features like pockets, wear patches and access panels on your sailing trousers and don't forget we're here to advise if you aren't sure about the best options for your dinghy sailing or yachting activity.
