Whether you are leaving the marina before sunrise, slipping lines at midday, or unwinding in the cockpit long after the sun goes down, the best days are rarely identical.
Any sailor will know that conditions shift constantly, from bitter morning chills to sudden coastal squalls and cool evening winds. Historically, staying comfortable required frequent layer changes and a fully stuffed kit bag.
With its new S2.26 collection, British technical apparel brand Gill has set out to make these condition changes easier to manage. Engineered around the concept of ‘First Light to Last Light,’ the range delivers versatile protection designed to keep pace as your day unfolds, without forcing endless trips below to change.
Gill’s new technical gear is built for performance and comfort from first light
to last light
Inspired by the changing hues of dawn and dusk, Gill’s new collection bridges the gap between active performance and shoreside comfort.
Drawing visual inspiration from the striking, high-contrast palette of dawn and dusk, the Autumn/Winter ‘26 collection is Gill’s boldest and brightest yet.
It’s refreshing to see some bolder colours returning to the marine clothing scene, but beneath the vibrant outer aesthetics lies an uncompromising suite of technical features designed for life on and around the water.
Seamless Layering for Unpredictable Conditions
At the core of the collection is an adaptable layering system built for dynamic weather:
Built for when the weather turns, this is your go-to deck-to-dock waterproof layer. Available in three distinct colourways for both men and women, the Seeker features a longer cut for extended coverage, fully taped seams, adjustable cuffs, and an internal storm guard designed to seal out relentless wind and spray.

Offering two distinct looks in a single garment, the Orion (men’s) and Athena (women’s) jackets feature a clean outer face that flips to reveal a contrasting, baffled reverse side. Packed with lightweight insulation that resists moisture, they provide exceptional core warmth whether worn as a standalone outer shell or layered beneath the Seeker Jacket.

Smart Storage for Life on the Water
High-performing clothing is one part of the equation, but that is of little use if your storage solutions are not up to snuff.
With this in mind, Gill has expanded its technical hardware range with a brand-new, comprehensive luggage lineup. Crafted from heavy-duty, waterproof tarpaulin fabric, the bags are engineered to withstand salt, spray, and heavy abrasion.
A standout in the range is the new Navigator Packaway Roller. Offered in Black and ‘Deep Dive’ (blue to you and me), this massive 120-litre capacity roller is specifically designed for offshore passages and gear-heavy adventures. Uniquely, its smart packaway design allows it to collapse down for easy storage in tight boat cabins or lockers when empty.
Complementing the roller, the wider luggage line includes waterproof dry bags, protective backpacks, and heavy-duty cargo bags tailored to keep your gear organised and bone-dry from home to marina.
READY FOR EVERY JOURNEY
Completed by marine-specific footwear engineered for high-traction, non-slip confidence on wet decks, the ‘26 collection delivers an all-in-one system for sailors and boaters alike—not to mention making for a stylish look ashore.
