Layer 2. The middle or insulating layer is designed to be worn over a base layer and under an outer layer. Made from synthetic thermal fibres, it assists the movement of moisture to the outer layer. These fibres do not absorb water; they dry quicky and will keep you warmer. As with the base layer, Gill has mid layer products in different fabric weights.

These range from i3 lightweight microfleece and i4 midweight fleece garments to i5 Crosswind and Windward ranges.

Layer 3. The outer or waterproof layer is intended to keep the elements out. These usually have very little or no thermal properties, but are entirely water and windproof. In order to work most efficiently, no matter what type of sailing you do, the fabric should be breathable to allow the moist air that has built up inside the garment to escape.
