We create technical clothing for all types of sailing or boating activities. Whatever the activity, all of our waterproof products are tested to the same high standards. In fact, our commitment to quality goes beyond industry standards to ensure that when you need to stay protected you can trust Gill – no compromise.
Tested Beyond StandardsOur commitment to quality and technical excellence means your Gill product will last longer than you would expect. Our in-house technical team are responsible for quality assurance and guaranteeing that every one of our products performs as expected.
Every one of our waterproof products is individually pressure tested on every taped seam before they can be approved, which is a process that takes many hours to complete. Nothing passes our QC until we’ve pressure tested, flexed, cooked, scrubbed, and washed it. Our industry-leading rejection rates and low level of customer returns are a testament to the huge amount of time, effort and resource we put into our product performance.
As a marine brand we have a vested interest in protecting the ocean, whilst we don’t have all the answers on how to do this, we are making changes that collectively make an impact. We have taken steps to eliminate single-use plastics from our supply chain by reducing our use (our wetsuit packaging uses 75% less plastic) or eliminating them altogether (over 20% of our styles are now plastic-free with more added each season). We have also offset our carbon emissions by investing in reforesting projects.
Over a third of our collections feature recycled, renewable or plant-based materials. Our OS2 Offshore Jacket and OS2 Offshore Salopettes are the world’s most sustainable sailing suit, using 98% recycled materials.
