Atlantis Aegis Hybrid Bib
For a mid-size boat and this type of racing, the salopette is the most important and versatile piece of gear a crew can have. The downside of a salopette is that the torso lenghts are fixed, so if one crewmember ha sa different combination of inseam and torso length than the models the manufacturer used to design the piece you're out of luck when it comes to fit. The Hybrid Bib ($295) addresses this with an adjustable shoulder-strap system. The Atlantis-developed three-layer laminate has waterproofness and breathability, and a woman's version is available - without a leak-prone drop seat.
