clothing

When the weather is unpredictable, a good breathable pair of technical pants is worth every penny.  The Hydro Power Race Bib ($262). Developed with insight from Volvo Ocean Race winner Ericsson Racing, is a high activity sailing salopette that delivers complee waved and wether protection from teh chest to ankles.  Elasticized shoulders and articulated knees keep them snug.  The campanion smock, to complete the set, is $100, sneaking you in just under the budget.  www.helly-hansen.com
