This isn't the same jacket as the Men's OS23 Coastal Sailing Jacket.(No, this jacket has a female-specific fit rather than just being a smaller size.)You are just as serious about sailing in coastal and offshore waters as your male counterparts, so it stands to reason that you not only need a jacket that's waterproof, windproof, breathable and lightweight, you also need a jacket that has a shorter waist and curves where you do. No one wants a sailing jacket that also acts like a sail, filling up with wind and making it hard to move around the deck in a squall. The Women's OS23 Coastal Sailing Jacket is designed specifically for your proportions so guys won't be asking to borrow it (most likely not a bad thing).Using Gills 3 Dot, two-layer laminated nylon fabric with a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, a nylon lining with mesh drainage panels and fully taped seams, the OS23 Coastal Sailing Jacket is fully water- and windproof. Its advanced composite, waterproof fabric features both hydrophobic (repelling) and hydrophilic (absorbing) technologies that totally protect you from the worst Mother Nature can throw at you during your best days. Plus it moves moisture (condensation and perspiration) away from your skin to the outside of the jacket so it can evaporate and eventually return to the ocean and become rain and start the cycle all over again.Starting at the top, the high-visibility fluorescent hood is fully lined so it not only keeps your head dry, it helps stop vital body heat from escaping into the wind. It has a three-way adjustment system, volume adjustment and an internal fleece-lined cord channel for a secure, comfortable fit. This hood is matched with a high-cut thermal collar with full face protection and a thermal fleece inner collar and chin guard to prevent chafing. Next you'll come to the full-length, anti-corrosion YKK front zipper that has a double storm guard to stop water intrusion and a two-way operation so you can unzip from the bottom to sit down or access the pockets in your bibs.You'll find two sets of fleece-lined hand warmer pockets protected by YKK AquaGuard water-resistant zippers. One set on the chest and one set that sits behind a couple of deep cargo pockets with secure closures that hold essentials you want to keep close. There's also a zippered internal security pocket for your wallet, cellphone or other valuables. The
