Fleece cardigan from Gill.
Gill combines reliable thermal protection with technical functionality for maritime activities. With a full-length YKK zip, hand warmer pockets and stretchy cuffs, it offers optimum comfort on the water.

The fleece knitted jacket is a versatile garment that combines cosy comfort with technical performance. Designed for chilly days on the water, it is designed to provide reliable thermal protection without compromising on functionality. The soft yet robust fleece construction effectively retains heat while ensuring the necessary breathability. Thanks to its light weight, it does not weigh the wearer down and allows unrestricted freedom of movement during all activities. The combination of these properties makes the jacket an indispensable companion in the cold season.

Sophisticated functionality

The full-length YKK zip on the front of the fleece cardigan is an essential part of the functional design. It is characterised by particularly smooth operation and makes it easy to put on and take off quickly and to layer with other items of clothing. This feature is particularly valuable when weather conditions change and quick adjustments to clothing are required. The integrated zipped hand warmer pockets fulfil a dual function: they not only provide secure storage space for important small items, but also serve as effective thermal protection for the hands when temperatures drop. The clever positioning of the pockets ensures quick and easy access at all times.

Ergonomic fit

Special attention was paid to the ergonomic fit when developing the fleece cardigan. The stretchy cuffs on the collar, sleeves and hem ensure a close but not restrictive fit. This construction effectively traps heat and prevents cold air from penetrating without restricting the wearer's freedom of movement. The elasticated properties of the material adapt to different body shapes and thus ensure individual comfort. This sophisticated cut makes the jacket suitable for active phases of movement when sailing or other water sports activities as well as for relaxed moments on land, without compromising on comfort or functionality.
