The Mariner Podcast #42: Review- Helly Hansen 'Aegir' Ocean Waterproofs

This episode I discuss the early origins of waterproof clothing and the designs that have developed over the centuries to a point were, now- we at least 'expect' to be dry when it rains! To bring things right up to date, I also review Helly Hansen's 'Aegir' Ocean Waterproofs -which are at the cutting edge of heavy duty offshore sailing gear and have been kindly supplied by Helly Hansen as part of their sponsorship of my Westabout Circumnavigation. But don't worry- 'Sponsored' does not mean 'perfect' :) Just before you go....
