Gill OS2 Review

During my 10-year career in yachting, this is the foul-weather set I enjoyed wearing the most, even over more expensive brands like Henri Lloyd and Helly Hansen.

Gill OS2 Offshore Jacket Review

Overall Rating: 4.3 out of 5

The OS2 is made from Gill’s exclusive Xplore Fabric Technology. A two-layer fabric consisting of an outer and inner shell.

An outer layer is an abrasion-resistant grade with a high water-repellant capability from Gill’s new Xpel treatment.

With the inside constructed from a breathable and waterproof coating. Keeping you dry and prevents you from overheating due to condensation inside the garment. To finish off, it’s fully lined to make putting it over layers easier.

One upgrade over the coastal jacket is the high-cut, high fleece-lined collar designed to keep you comfortable and warm. Another is the hand warmer pockets protected by YKK AQUAGUARD zippers rather than a hook and loop system.

A hi-visibility adjustable hood has three different adjustment points, which is excellent for keeping rain and spray out of your face. Adjustable sleeve cuffs make creating a watertight seal at the wrist a bonus.

Five additional retro reflective pieces are mounted to the outer shell to aid rescuers in locating a man overboard. But the best thing about this offshore foul-weather jacket is the price. You get the same level of performance at a fraction of what a comparable Henri Lloyd would cost you.

Gill OS2 Offshore Bibs Review

Overall Rating: 4.3 out of 5

Following the Gill OS2 Offshore Jacket, their trousers are built to work in unison. Again, you get the trademark Xplore Fabric Technology. Two layers of fabric consisting of an outer and inner shell.

You can expect all the new features from the OS3 Coastal Trousers plus two additional front zippered pockets with hand warmers for when you have your jacket off.

All the key benefits of the OS3 series are included. Like the abrasion-resistant seat padding and articulated knees. The fully adjustable shoulder suspenders keep the fit correct even on long days.

And the gusset-protected front zipper with a YKK AQUAGUARD zipper which opens fully to make changing in and out of the bibs easy. While another security pocket above the cargo pockets makes the Gill OS2 Offshore trousers a premium product at an affordable price.

❓ Who Are These For?

Anyone that’s in the market for a quality set of offshore foul-weather gear. You can’t go wrong with these; they are ideal for inclement weather and rough seas.

The Gill OS2 coastal jacket and trousers are the best set of foul-weather gear for offshore boating, fishing and sailing.
