West Marine introduces its new Equator line of super-lightweight foul-weather apparel ($229-$449) for warm, humid climates. The jacket and bibs are made from a tough, waterproof nylon fabric in a rip-stop pattern for extra breathability. The jacket has reflective piping and patches for better visibility at night, and the bibs have extra reinforcement on the seat and knee areas. The jacket comes in red/navy, gray/navy or gold/navy. The bibs are available only in navy.
