Gill Athena jacket

GILL Women´s Athena Jacket

Discover the pinnacle of inshore sailing performance with the GILL Women´s Athena Jacket. Expertly engineered for the discerning female sailor, this jacket offers uncompromising protection and exceptional comfort, allowing you to face challenging coastal conditions with complete confidence. Whether you´re racing in a regatta or enjoying a day cruise, the Athena Jacket is designed to be your ultimate shield against the elements, blending technical innovation with a flattering, female-specific fit.

Experience superior defense against wind and water. The jacket´s advanced 2-layer fabric construction creates a formidable, fully waterproof and breathable barrier, ensuring you remain dry and comfortable from the inside out. This is reinforced by fully taped seams throughout the garment, which eliminate any potential for water ingress, providing a complete seal against spray and rain. Furthermore, an innovative, plant-based finish applied to the exterior not only delivers incredible water repellency, causing moisture to bead up and roll off, but also provides a durable stain-resistant layer, keeping your jacket looking its best season after season.

Functionality is at the heart of the Athen´s design. For maximum safety and visibility, a fully adjustable, roll-away hi-vis hood can be deployed in an instant, offering crucial protection during a downpour and stowing away neatly when not required. The high-cut thermal collar provides essential warmth and shields your neck and face from harsh winds. Uniquely designed for on-water performance, the jacket features adjustable outer cuffs paired with soft-touch PU inner seals, creating a watertight barrier that prevents water from running down your arms. The front is secured with a premium YKK AquaGuard® zip, which is complemented by an internal storm guard for an extra layer of defense against wind-driven rain. For added safety in low-light conditions, strategically placed high-visibility Reflexite® reflectives ensure you are seen. Deep, fleece-lined side entry pockets offer a welcome refuge for cold hands, while an internal zippered security pocket keeps your valuables safe and dry.
