Why buy women's overalls

In bad weather at sea, it quickly becomes essential to have adequate protection. watch overalls have gradually replaced waxed canvas pants because they are much more suitable for navigation. women's shift overalls are much less rigid, so they allow better freedom of movement. women's shift overalls also benefit from a tighter and often sportier cut, to best support your movements and not get in the way during maneuvers.

How to choose the right women's shift overalls

It is now accepted that the most effective solution to protect you from the elements is to combine the waterproofness of shift overalls with the thermal comfort of tights. For offshore sailing and regattas, waterproofing is therefore the first criterion to take into account. Your women's shift overalls should keep you dry for long periods in the rain, waterproofing of at least 15,000 mm is therefore recommended. To keep you dry effectively, your women's shift overalls must prevent water from penetrating, but allow perspiration to be evacuated. Breathability is therefore the second essential criterion for sports navigation. If you are going on a regatta, other elements such as reinforcements at the knees and buttocks or reflective details will need to be taken into account.

If you are planning a more coastal or leisure outing, you may be less concerned about breathability. You can also opt for intermediate waterproofing, as long as it exceeds 5,000 mm.
