They sure don't make gloves like the used to. I used to be fanatical about Gill gloves by they've since fallen in quality. I hear a lot of reviews complaining the Gill Pro gloves are uncomfortable. In your honest opinion is this a failing of the glove or you feel the average sailor does not spend enough time breaking them in? What is the break in time? What in your opinion is the best sailing glove on the market?
I have to be honest, we've not had any complaints about the Gill Pro sailing gloves, especially around quality. When choosing a pair of sailing gloves you've really got to think about the type of sailing you'll be doing, also look at what other sailors in a similar boat are using. My personal favourite in the Gill sailing gloves are the Championship gloves, they are a little lighter but not as hard wearing as the Pro.
@@sailingchandlery I've been using 'Championship' Gloves since the early 2000's. They took a huge downturn in quality a few years back. Used to be real high quality leather. I notices my barely used championship gloves were already falling to tatters from light usage. It really sank my heart to see how far the glove industry has regressed. Anyways - I'll try the pro's sometime. Thanks for the Reply!
Hiker review will be coming soon, we have the Microfleece version in stock. Whether you choose a hiker wetsuit vs pads depends on how often you swap your wetsuit, types of boats you are sailing and your budget. If you are constantly changing wetsuits and not always on a hiking boat then the powerpads are a great solution, if you are always sailing a hiking boat then the hikers would be a great option.
Thanks for the comment, the price at the time of writing is £114.95. The size chart can be found on our website - www.sailingchandlery.com/products/zhik-power-pads
Hi! I think there may be a problem with the chart size? Because I measured my legs and from some fellow sailors and the size on B for me is 420mm and in A 660mm Which means none of the sizes would fit me when i do have other versions of these pads and no problem with the fitting
I have been trying to find information on a pair of splicing tools I was given in a New England Ropes tube. They look like knitting needles at one ent (blunt point) and at the back end where your fids are hollow, these are solid with a brass hook. I don't see anyone posting instructions on how to use those. Any help?
Nice! How about a locking splice on both ends of a single length? I can see how I might just pull the whole splice on the first end through on the second end but would that be suboptimal?
Hola, estoy buscando un traje (long johng) para practicar la modalidad de pesca spinning desde costa. Busco un traje que no supere los 3 mm de espesor y que sea realmente estanco en sus costuras y en los tobillos.

I hope this isn't too late for you, but the X suits and V suits are essentially the same, with the difference in price. The X suits are top end, with all the bells and whistles, whereas the V suits take the key features of the X suit and package them into a cheaper suit with similar functionality. Basically, if you're a pro sailor looking for that perfect suit, go with the X suit. If you are a more casual sailor, who just needs it for the warmth/overall properties, go with the V suit.
@@dinomac_2141 a bit late, but it's okay) Thanks for answer. Actually I'm casual, but I bought X. I like the color more and also they say it cod be a bit warmer, which is good (I don't know if it's correct or not). Anyway it's really expensive, but I really love it
