I found wearing me Sailing Jacket on me motorbike helped develop a "round cape horn twice" look.
Going for Combat Trousers to complete the look this summer. Urban Camo. Obviously

Yellow is obviously the best, so I think you should buy black.

Rather boring fact. Apparently the USCG found that Fluorescent Pink is the most visible colour in the water. I got this snippet from the book "Safety and Survival At Sea".

While fluorescent colours are of course a different kettle of fish, it's another interesting fact that pink is a very effective colour for blending into the back ground. Take for example the WWII Spitfires for photo recon that were painted pink. Just another quirk.
Anyone fancy pink oilies?

Whats wrong with sexy yellow? Ive got a dashing set of a bright yellow musto hpx suit. Not cheap so i got second hand off ebay, why is it sexy you may ask? It was used by a crew member of hugo boss for one season, so ive got a very sexy yellow hpx suit with a great big stencil of hugo boss in the back. Very cool for a 22 yr old i say! And a snip at half price! Looked new when it arrived in the post!

I would say the new race range from Gill is right up there with the "COOL" look.
