With great pleasure we are representing Gaastra Pro Gear sail wear in Norway, this very succesful Dutch brand has been established in 1897, click here for more information.

The new Pro collection is characterized by practical innovations in terms of functionality and economics and is divided into three sub collections.

GX-01: For maximum protection even under the most extreme racing conditions. The GX-01 line offers optimum protection in the form of a triple layer of laminated materials which are also extremely breathable to ensure optimum comfort. The GX-01 line has been extensively tested by offshore yachting professionals. This performance line of sailing clothing has been especially developed for racing professionals.

GX-02: Offers competitive sailors maximum ease of movement and comfort. The GX-02 line is made from very thin and breathable materials in a 2.5-layer construction. The materials used ensure optimum water resistance, making them ideal for use by competitive as well as more recreationally inclined yachting enthusiasts.

GX-03: Intended for recreational sailors on open water. The design is based on a double layer of lighter laminated materials with an emphasis on fashion. The GX-03 line offers an optimum price/quality balance for the recreational sailor.
