Designed by sailors for sailors, these will include the innovative Aegis Jackets and hybrid bibs from Atlantis’ coastal sailing collection, Grand Prix Softshell jackets and vests, and the ultra lightweight Microburst jacket and pants.
The on-water gear together with tech shirts and items from Atlantis’ 'Deck-to-Dock' collection will offer ISAF’s race officials a combination of performance and style to keep them dry and comfortable whilst they are out on the water and looking smart and professional when they are ashore.
