Oilskins from Marine Warehouse

Oilskins is a term used to describe the original sailors clothing.

Traditionally oilskins were made from an oil coated canvas, hence the name 'oil skins'.

Technology has moved on leaps and bounds and now sailors clothing is not only waterproof but breathable too.

Breathability in oilskins allows sailors to remain dry whilst being physically active, an essential factor for comfort during life aboard!

The sweat created through hard work is vented from the clothing, keeping the sailor dry - regardless of the weather outside!
