FOIL TOP 1.5 Neoprene Top

This is the ideal product for professional athletes who need a versatile wetsuit (long john and bodysuit/top) that can allow ample movement, wear and tear resilience and stability when sailing at high speeds.

The Foil Top 1.5 is a lightweight (1.5 mm) bodysuit suitable for mild temperatures and sailing on fast boats that require adequate protection. It can be worn with the matching Foil Long Johns and/or under a spray top.

A super-stretch 1.5 mm thick neoprene was used for the Foil Top 1.5 to ensure optimal freedom of movement, especially in disciplines such as multihulls and foils, where athletes are always on the move in dynamic situations.

The Foil Top 1.5 was developed directly by two-time Olympic gold Nacra 17 duo Tita-Banti, after almost two years of research. The two-piece separation of the wetsuit with a top and long johns increases flexibility and is better suited to the needs of sailing than the one-piece used in surfing or kiting. The type of neoprene adopted makes the fabric much more elastic, even when wet, avoiding bumps against the body during use. Peripheral circulation is favoured by calibrated compression near the muscles put under the most stress, reducing the possibility of cramps.

The Foil Top 1.5 has adopted pre-formed cuts on the arms for a comfortable natural posture when sailing, thus reducing creases and improving joint mobility. To keep the garment stable under the pressure of the most extreme spray and acceleration, we have also applied a non-slip grip: bare neoprene on the inside of the neck and seat; two silicone strips on the inside of each cuff. As for the top's aesthetics, it bears sublimation prints inspired by the sea and the play of its reflections. The look is unisex, although specific designs for women will soon follow.
