Seeing as most women don't tend to opt for baby blue and pale pink for their normal attire, it always strikes me as odd that so many technical clothing manufactures choose to produce female items in these colours.
They are not exactly the most practical of colours to be working on a boat in either. Thankfully companies such as Chris K. Collections are coming to the rescue and producing alternative sailing wear specifically for the female market.
Chris K. Collections was founded by a dynamic crew of young women who have a love of sailing, but a loathing of the clothing that goes along with it. Tailored with the needs of active sailors in mind, the manufactures claim that garments don't compromise on quality or comfort to achieve their female styling.
"Our clothes are standing up to our German quality standard regarding the technical features. But they also give us the comfort for the way of life we enjoy without loosing the feminine touch," said one of the crew.
From thermals to waterproofs, Chris K. Collections offers a full range of sailing gear. The HX 8000 Sailing Jacket and Bib Pants are constructed from breathable waterproof fabric with taped seams, specially cut for the female physique. Boasting a fleece lined collar with store away hood, the jacket has the facility to zip in a fleece and to attach a life jacket. For a little bit extra you can have your set of oilskins personalised with a hand painted motif.
