gloves :ronstan sticky gloves with 3 full fingers these are the best ones

boots :i think gill boots are good but the ones with laces are very very hard to put on but the zip boots are good

what's your favorite
 
Boots: Gul All Purpose Zip Boots.
Spray Top: Gul 3-Layer Breathable Sports Boat Smock
Wetsuit: Gul short-arm dinghy wetsuit.
Hikers: Magic marine pads.
Gloves: Don't wear them for laser sailing, but Musto short finger for kite trimming big boats.
Life Jacket: Any with a side zip, pocket, elastic sides and un-obstrusive fit.
 
Life Jacket: Extra Sport - I have one and I love it!!

Gloves - Again Sailing Angles - they make 4 fingered, 3 fingered and no fingered cut offs. All SOOO confortable and superly paddded.

Boots - Gill zip ups

Spray top - Gill breathable dinghy smock. Make sure it is the one with neoprene around all openings. It usually runs for $129 Have it and Love IT!!!
 
Oh, right...

Rashguard - Camet - either the Hawaiian one or the regular white one.

Wetsuit - O'neil - I don't think this really matters but i have an O'neil and Love IT!!
 
I had a really good O'neil wet suit before i grew out of it. It was a shortie with really thin arms to allow easy movement.
 
i sail with no rash guard but they are some very good ones named "lost enterprises" its a surf brand but they make tho coolest desings and last longer then other ones neilpryde makes good rashguards too
 
PFD - Lotus or Salus
Boots - Gill (either)
Gloves - Don't use the things
hiking Pants - I use Magic Marine 3/4 length but would like a pair of SEA Airprene Breathables 3/4 length.
Other stuff - Wet suit socks from MEC and lots of lycra to protect my gear.
cheers,
Steve.
