Protection From The Elements Since 1975

Gill was created to ensure sailors were protected from the elements whilst out on the water.  This remains their purpose today.

Today, Gill is a world-leading name in marine apparel.

Gill's ethos has always been to think differently, push the boundaries of innovation and this continues today.  Rather than using off the shelf branded fabrics in their collections they make it their mission to develop their own fabrics that are truly fit for purpose.

If a fabric needs to be lighter, tougher, or more breathable, they customise it to meet the needs of the end user, from extreme single handed ocean racers to the weekend club dinghy sailor.

Tested Beyond Standards: Ensuring Unrivalled Performance & Comfort

Gill create technical clothing for all types of sailing or boating activities.

Whatever the activity, all of their waterproof products are tested to the same high standards.

In fact, their commitment to quality goes beyond industry standards to ensure that when you need to stay protected you can trust Gill, no compromise.

Built To Last

Gill's commitment to quality and technical excellence means your Gill product will last longer than you would expect.

Gill's in-house technical team are responsible for quality assurance and guaranteeing that every one of their products performs as expected.

Every one of their waterproof products is individually pressure tested on every taped seam before they can be approved, which is a process that takes many hours to complete.

Nothing passes their QC until they’ve pressure tested, flexed, cooked, scrubbed, and washed it.

Gill's industry-leading rejection rates and low level of customer returns are a testament to the huge amount of time, effort and resource they put into their product performance.

Ocean Protection

As a marine brand Gill have a vested interest in protecting the ocean.

Whilst they don’t have all the answers on how to do this, they are making changes that collectively make an impact.

Gill have taken steps to eliminate single-use plastics from their supply chain by reducing its use (their wetsuit packaging uses 75% less plastic) or eliminating it altogether (over 20% of their styles are now plastic-free with more added each season).

Gill have also offset their carbon emissions by investing in reforesting projects.

Over a third of their collections feature recycled, renewable or plant-based materials.

Gill's OS2 Offshore Jacket and OS2 Offshore Salopettes are the world’s most sustainable sailing suits, using 98% recycled materials.
