Designed as a high-performance thermal base layer for watersports, the Hydrophobe Top delivers reliable warmth, comfort, and protection when worn under wetsuits, drysuits, and spray tops. Ideal for sailing, paddling, and cold-water activities, it provides lightweight insulation without restricting movement.

Constructed from a soft, fast-drying polypropylene blend with 4-way stretch, the Hydrophobe Top moves effortlessly with the body while maintaining close-to-skin comfort. The fabric provides effective thermal protection and UPF 50+ sun protection, making it suitable for both cold and warm conditions on the water.

Flatlocked seams minimise irritation during active use, while the integrated thumb loops keep sleeves securely in place when layering, preventing bunching inside wetsuits or drysuits. Lightweight, breathable, and quick to dry, this technical thermal top helps regulate body temperature and maintain comfort throughout long days on the water.
Whether used as a base layer under a wetsuit or as an insulating layer beneath a drysuit or spray top, the Hydrophobe Top is an essential piece of sailing and watersports apparel for year-round performance.
