The Short Story

A new line of casual marine clothing was created to be appropriate for onboard as well as off the boat activities.

August 1, 2006

It's always difficult to decide what items of clothing to bring for a day on the water. Gill's Navigator Quick Dry shorts for women, part of their new technical apparel line, are a versatile choice. Gill's new line of casual marine clothing was created to be appropriate for onboard as well as  off the boat activities, which make the shorts perfect for your active lifestyle. When you're on the boat, you'll appreciate their durable nylon UV-resistant Tactel fabric, which has a water-resistant finish that dries quickly and wicks moisture away from the skin. When you get back to land, the zippered side pocket comes in handy, as it can hold a cell phone or keys. There's even a Velcro adjustment at the waist to give you a comfortable fit. The shorts come in two different colors - charcoal and silver grey - and the sizes range from 6 to 12.  They retail for $54.95. (770) 945-0564, www.gillna.com.
