Thousands of women sail with bibs that are too wide at the shoulders, straps that slip, and a zipper they can’t open alone at sea. They make do. They have always made do.
However, ‘making do’ in sailing isn’t just a matter of comfort. Ill-fitting gear poses a real risk: a fumbled maneuver, a piece of clothing riding up at the wrong moment, protection that doesn’t truly protect. Over time, it also leads to pain, unnecessary fatigue, and the subtle feeling of not quite belonging.
The nautical sector has long been designed for only one body type. Women have arrived in numbers, but the equipment hasn’t kept up.
Gear designed for real sailing
All Sailiz gear is designed based on a simple principle: a female sailor should never have to think about her equipment at sea. It should just be there, effective, without a second thought.
This means cuts tailored to female body shapes, closures that work with gloves, straps that unclip with one hand, waterproofing without chemical compromise. And responsible manufacturing: European fabrics without PFCs, heat-bonded assembly, repairable and recyclable products.
Our Commitments
- PFC-free — Waterproofing without fluorinated chemicals, for your health and the ocean’s.
- European sourcing — Technical fabrics sourced in Europe, manufactured through nearshore production.
- Repairable — A repair solution offered throughout the product’s lifespan.
- 100% recyclable — End-of-life considered right from the design stage.
- Co-Designed — Every piece developed with female sailors. Not a single decision made without them.
