Gill of North America is raising the bar on foul weather gear construction with its new high-performance OS1 and OS2 line of jackets and trousers ($179-$349). The breathable fabric is tested for maximum durability in rough weather conditions. And you don't have to be a salty sea fisherman to appreciate the protection you'll get during a downpour or icy blast of wind - even weekend warriors can benefit from wearing it. The OS1 is suggested for offshore use, while the OS2 is made for coastal use.
