Quality as n°1 requirement
As you may have to tough out with totally unpredictable conditions, the XM seawear range leaves nothing to chance : safety, comfort, ease of movement, protection, durability and also stylish cut and smart look are the notions our designers kept in mind when tailoring our new range of marine clothing. Breathability and waterproofness, durable resistance to light and discolouration, resistance to chafe, abrasion and delamination, seams watertightness... these are some of the tests which our garments are continuously submitted to throughout production, before they undergo the typical knocks and scrapes encountered on board. When designing our XM seawear, we never forgot that sailing should be nothing but fun.
