\n Gill’s new super Verso Lite Smock is a lightweight and simplified design that’s ideal for use under a PFD. <\/span>\n Courtesy Gill<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t <\/figcaption>\n <\/section>\n\t\t\n\n\n

There will be times when you want all the bells and whistles with your foul weather gear, and there are times when all you really want are the basics. The new Gill<\/a> Verso Lite Smock falls in the latter category as a well-executed, straightforward, efficient spray top. Nothing more. It\u2019s waterproof, breathable, and has neck, wrist and waist seals, all of which are adjustable. A solid piece of kit for dinghy and small keelboat sailing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What, you ask? No pockets? Nope. Well, chances are, if you\u2019re in conditions that merit wearing a spray top, or smock as Gill calls it, especially on a dinghy, you\u2019re likely wearing a lifejacket, which makes access to most spray top pockets difficult. Plus, the place where you really need pockets is in the lifejacket, where you can readily access them. So, no pockets? No problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Made of Gill\u2019s proprietary two-layer fabric, which is one of the softest materials we\u2019ve yet<\/p>\n\n\n\n

seen in spray gear, the Verso Lite smock is quite comfortable\u2013something you can easily wear for an entire day on the water. The fabric weight is light enough you\u2019ll probably forget you\u2019re<\/p>\n\n\n\n

even wearing it, as we did, and it packs out very small. Great for stuffing into an inspection port bag. The low price point makes it the perfect entry-level piece of kit as well, while its simplicity will likely appeal to even broader ranges of racers. Available in black, light grey or marine blue. $130.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
