STG – The Story behind the Scene
Partnerships with world-class athletes
and teams in sailing have always been
an intrinsic part of Marinepool’s approach
in the development of uncompromising
state of the art sailing gear. 2014 will
see the introduction of a new innovative
neoprene line targeting professional
dinghy racers. Marinepool and Sailing
Team Germany have gone to great
lengths – including wind tunnel testing –
in the development of the National Team
Series (NTS).
Sailors of STG came up with a long wish
list, invaluable and highly professional
input and have put the garments trough
its paces over a whole season. A constant
exchange with the Marinepool design
team, optimization of every aspect and a
no-compromise implementation of their
suggestions were all part of the development
process.
The result convinces with revolutionary
design ideas, inventive features and
unrivaled quality and attention to detail.
The new neoprene dinghy collection
guarantees outstanding wearing comfort,
durability and covers a broad range
of uses. Suits in different thicknesses
and a variety of cuts, short and long
sleeved rash guards, flexible neoprene
shirts as well as warm vests can be
easily combined to achieve ideal protection
in all kinds of weather situations and
climates. Accessories like sophisticated
knee pads, removable sleeves, neo prene
boots and gloves as well as innovative
hiking pads and harnesses complement
the suits to form a great new and very
comprehensive dinghy line.
Besides of the outstanding functionality
of the National Team Series, the products
are also real eye catchers with dynamic
and sportive design. Basic colours grey
and black are combined with jazzy highlights
in neon colours and give the line an
aggressive and speedy look.
