SLAM sportswear at Club Marine Melbourne Boat Show

by Samantha Bennett on 2 Jul 2007 SLAM apparel is defined by Italian design, quality constructions and finishes and advanced fabrics that deliver style, comfort, reliability and value for money to anyone engaging in the nautical or outdoor lifestyle.

Just like Campari, Alfa Romeo, Diesel, Vespa and Benetton, SLAM exudes Italian cool, and unlike many clothing labels, tells a complete story.

Embodying the spirit of sailing and the sea, SLAM is ready for coastal life and the rigors of outdoor sport. Featuring a full range of jackets, polos, shorts, jeans, golf wear, footwear, vests, t-shirts, shirts, pants, Vespa gear and accessories, there is something in the SLAM range to suit every body and every mood.

Built specifically for and by people who love the water and everything it entails, SLAM advanced technology sportswear can handle any adventure you throw at it.

The performance heritage of SLAM is exemplified by the range of pros who wear it, including America’s Cup winner Skip Lissiman, Australia Etchell Champion and winner of 2007 Etchells Mid Winter Championships.

'We found the SLAM gear was just perfect to get the right mix between comfort and ease of movement around the Etchells. We have found that most sailing gear can’t get that mix right particularly when getting the cold breeze sailing into the wind and then with the hard work pumping the boat downwind getting too hot when the apparent wind drops, but the SLAM gear was just perfect,' Skip said after the event.

The world’s best sailors are dressed by SLAM, including Russell Coutts, who has just created the innovative Russell Coutts Range of Technical Sailing Apparel in conjunction with SLAM.

Recently awarded maximum points in a clothing roundup by leading French sailing magazine 'Voiles et Voiliers', SLAM beat out oilskins from Aigle, All mer, Bermudes, Cotton, Gill, Helly Hansen, Jeantex, Marinepool, Murphy & Nye, Musto, Prorainer, Tribord and XM.

To view the latest from the SLAM range, be sure to visit this year's Club Marine Melbourne Boat Show, from 5-9 July at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre.
