What are Spraytops?
Spraytops are by name tops for water sports which protect you from splashing water, spray and rain. These tops are designed to be pulled over, mostly with neck and arm cuffs as well as adjustable hip cuffs and thus hold tight - except in case you fall into the water. Spraytops are light, thin and therefore to be seen as a supplement to neoprene suits in the transition period or to oil pants over the functional shirt.
Applications of Spraytops
Spraytops are preferably sailed by dinghy sailors and sportsmen on small yachts, even on ships on which much splash water is to be expected. At the same time, athletic sports must be practiced on these ships to ensure maximum freedom of movement.
Function and materials
If you look at the main applications of modern spray tops, you will notice several characteristics: lightweight materials, waterproofness and breathability are indispensable in today's sailwear. The modern nylon fabrics do all this and the neoprene and latex cuffs of the products also make their contribution. In addition, the manufacturers are installing more and more pockets for bolts or safety knives or the wrench for trim adjustment during the race and safety features such as reflectors or the like are now part of the standard offer of manufacturers.
