Marinepool is a German specialist brand for functional sailing apparel, lifejackets and maritime fashion, founded in 1989. The brand develops its gear in collaboration with professional sailors and is a partner of multiple international sailing federations and regattas. ### Which product categories does Marinepool offer? Marinepool offers sailing clothing (jackets, smocks, trousers, salopettes, mid layers, base layers, drysuits, neoprene), lifejackets (inflatable, foam, kids', dog), maritime fashion for women, men and children, formal wear and uniforms, boat shoes and waterproof luggage. ### What is the difference between a sailing jacket and a smock? A smock is a sailing jacket without a full front zip, pulled on over the head. The absence of a front zip eliminates potential water entry points, making smocks ideal for racing, dinghy sailing and particularly wet conditions. ### Are Marinepool lifejackets certified? Yes. All Marinepool lifejackets are exclusively manufactured in European production sites under the ISO 12402 standard. Marinepool offers lifejackets in all buoyancy classes, including solid foam vests and inflatable vests for offshore use. Select models feature the Lume On technology, which illuminates the inflated air chamber to improve user visibility. ### Who are Marinepool products designed for? Marinepool serves sailors of all experience levels, from dinghy beginners to professional offshore racers. The range also covers maritime professionals (yacht crews, navy), water sports enthusiasts, fishermen, surfers and water skiers. All main products are available in women's, men's and children's cuts. ### Where does Marinepool ship to? Marinepool ships to Germany at a flat rate of EUR 6.90. International shipping covers most European countries, with shipping costs ranging from EUR 10.90 (Austria, France, Denmark, Italy) to EUR 49.90 (Cyprus). Deliveries to non-listed countries are available on request. ### What is the minimum order value? The minimum order value is EUR 24.90 within Germany and EUR 49.90 for international orders. For orders below this value, a surcharge of EUR 7.50 applies. ### How do I care for Marinepool sailing apparel?
