KNEE, SHIN, THIGH AND HAMSTRING REINFORCEMENTS
The Long Jane features reinforcements in the knees, shins, glutes and hamstrings. The anti-abrasion component plays two roles:
- to limit wear and tear of the neoprene in the areas most exposed to friction on the boat
- to limit discomfort caused by the friction inherent in sailing.
For added comfort, the neoprene thickness is doubled at the knees.
EASY URINATION, without taking off your suit!
We've come up with a comfortable opening that allows all female sailors to urinate easily while sailing. Located in the crotch, this discreet opening (superimposed on two layers of stretch neoprene) has been specially designed for dinghy and catamaran sailing. It allows you to urinate in a squatting position.
FITTING ADVICE
The Long Jane is slipped on through the neckline. To put on the arms, we advise you to pull the suit up as far as possible to chest level, then put on one arm after the other. You'll need to stretch the top of the suit to allow the shoulders to pass through. Once on, position the suit over your shoulders: its stretch neoprene adjusts to your body shape, avoiding the inconvenience of a zipper opening.
DESIGN
The lines of the Long Jane have been designed for maximum maneuverability. The armholes are notched to allow good freedom of movement in the shoulder and arm areas.
The neoprene used is highly stretchable to enhance this feeling of freedom and to allow donning and doffing without a ZIP (stretchability validated in the main direction of the fabric, also known as the "chain" direction). The absence of a ZIP is a real asset for maximum comfort. Flatlock seams.
MULTI-SPORTS
The Long Jane has been designed with light sailing in mind. Our design choices make it compatible with other sailing activities such as SUP (Stand-Up Paddle), windsurfing, longe-côté and canoeing.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT SIZE
To get the most out of your wetsuit, you need to choose the right size. A wetsuit should fit snugly and there should be no visible creases. If you choose a wetsuit that's too big, creases will form, chafing will occur and thermal comfort will be reduced (water ingress). Try it on before you buy!
THE IDEAL PANOPLY
You can combine the Long Jane with a UV top for UV protection and a windproof jacket. For sailing in cooler weather, add a neoprene top to your Long Jane.
REPAIR
Thanks to neoprene glue (see link), you can repair your wetsuit by following the steps in the video (see link).
