Gill’s New 2007 Autumn/Winter Collection
by Press Release

Buford, GA, Oct. 3, 2006 - Gill, a world innovator in marine apparel, is introducing to North America a new 2007 autumn/winter line of warm-wear jackets, vests, crew necks and salopettes in vibrant, contemporary styles and designs.

"The main focus of the 2007 line is developing a line of warm wear clothing that can be fashionably worn in layers or as a stand-alone piece," said David Pritchard, president of Gill North America. "These stylish pieces are made of highly breathable materials, such as rip stop nylon and materials that provide excellent warmth, such as Thermore® synthetic linings and Traverse fleece."

The versatile Convert Line, the durable Crew Element and the more casual Traverse Fleece comprise the new Gill autumn/winter line. Ranging from a base layer with fully waterproof jackets, the Gill 2007 designs cover every requirement for total temperature control in stylish comfort.

The Convert Line

Designed as a mid-layer solution that stands up to changing weather, the Convert Line is lightweight, windproof and water-repellent. The Convert jacket, vest and salopettes are made from highly breathable rip stop nylon with a lining made from Thermore® synthetic fill, providing an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio.Thermore® compresses easily and insulates event when wet. Tough abrasion-resistant nylon protects areas prone to heavy wear.
