Those of you like me, whose entire boat is kitted out by Lidl, will be happy to hear that they are selling off sailing gear at a reduced price on Saturday 18 September.

 

Sample prices - mens jacket €70, dungarees €60, fleece jacket €12, 5mm wetsuit (3 piece) €70, 2.9m inflatable dinghy €400.

 

I've bought the sailing jackets before and they last reasonably well, although the zips and velcro tend to fail sooner than the jacket.
