Co-designed with Yannick Bestaven (winner of the Vendée Globe 2020) to take on a demanding world tour
The Tribord Offshore PRO set has been developed and tested with Yannick Bestaven and other partner skippers. It meets all their needs during their races, whether they're inshore or offshore, transatlantic, solo or with a team, and on different boats: Yannick Bestaven (IMOCA), Quentin Vlamynck (Ocean 50), Achille Nebout, the VOILEUSES AU LARGE, Keni Piperol (Class 40), Romain Le Gall (Figaro 3), Sasha Laniece and Léo Bothorel (Mini 6.50)
Always at just the right temperature
When it comes to sailing, our challenge lies in designing products which will always keep you at just the right temperature, alternating between highly active phases (heat production) and static phases, whilst being exposed to the wind (heat loss).
Good sailing midlayer dungarees:
1- Insulated from the cold,
2- Wick sweat and limit odours
3- Windproof and water-repellent
4- Can be slipped inside a sailing jacket.
Let us explain how the PRO midlayer overcomes these 4 challenges:
Insulation from the cold
Following a thermal analysis of the human body, we identified sweating zones and heat loss during active and passive phases.
We've selected the appropriate materials:
- Merino wool (250 g/m2) for its insulating properties, even when wet.
- Fleece in addition to the wool in certain areas
- Breathable mesh to evacuate sweat.
These 3 options vary according to the zones
Sweat evacuation and odour limitation
The full-length double zip is great for evacuating sweat during active phases (winch, sailing manoeuvres, stowing, etc.).
The merino wool also boasts the property of limiting odours (ISO 17299-3 lab-testing). During long sailing trips, it's a real must.
Windproof and water-repellent
The external fabric offers effective protection from the wind, which often makes you cold. Whilst it is water-repellent, the midlayer is not waterproof.
thin and lightweight midlayer
It's designed to be slipped underneath a sailing jacket thanks to its soft and thin materials.
A Lycra ankle cuff allows you to adjust the midlayer to your body shape, and makes it easier to pull boots on.
It weighs 887 grams in size L
Going to the toilet
The central double zip and the rear opening zip mean you can easily go to the toilet without taking off the entire dungarees midlayer.
How to choose the size of your midlayer
The midlayer has a fitted cut. It has been designed to be worn with thermal base layers.
For men, choose your usual size.
For women, we recommend choosing a size smaller than your usual size.
Rip-tab adjustment on the straps mean that you can fit the dungarees to your body.
