Offshore Salopettes vs. Element Offshore Salopettes: What’s the Difference?

At SAILIZ, each product is designed to meet a specific use at sea.
With the arrival of the new Element Offshore salopettes, many are asking:
👉 what is the difference with the Offshore 1 Basic salopettes?
👉 and most importantly, which one to choose based on your practice?

We’ll explain everything.

Let’s start with some context: the classic salopettes are our first offshore salopettes, and the ELEMENT version is an improved version, thanks to field feedback from our female users.

As you know, at SAILIZ we are committed to minimizing our impact on the planet, which is why we produce in small batches to remain agile and responsive to our female users’ demands.

Developing quality products and continuously improving is what truly drives us.

1. The Offshore 1 Basic Salopettes: Essential, Reliable, and Effective

The Offshore 1 Basic salopettes were designed as accessible offshore gear, robust and functional.

Key features:

• Effective protection against wind and spray
• Simple and proven design
• Fitted, comfortable cut, suitable for regular use
• Durable materials, designed to last

👉 These salopettes are ideal for:

2. The Element Offshore Salopettes: The Technical Evolution

The Element Offshore salopettes represent a new generation of product at SAILIZ.

4. How to Choose?

👉 Choose the Offshore 1 Basic salopettes if you are looking for reliable, simple, and effective protection for your sea outings and want to benefit from Sailiz expertise at an exceptional price.
👉 Opt for the Element Offshore salopettes if you sail for long periods, often, and technical comfort becomes a true performance criterion.

In both cases, both models adhere to the SAILIZ fundamentals:
protection, durability, and technical excellence.

At SAILIZ, salopettes are not just technical clothing: they are the result of constant co-creation with female sailors. Each pair of salopettes is designed, tested, adjusted, and improved based on real feedback from the sea. The brand is convinced that high-performance salopettes cannot be designed solely behind a desk: they must evolve with usage, weather constraints, and body movements during sailing. That’s why SAILIZ regularly communicates with female sailors of various profiles to evolve each pair of salopettes, season after season. Length, cut, flex zones, protection, comfort: every detail of the salopettes is scrutinized to offer maximum freedom of movement and reliable protection over time. This approach allows the salopettes to become a true sailing tool, adapted for long hours at sea as well as demanding conditions. By co-creating its products, SAILIZ ensures that each pair of salopettes meets concrete needs, without compromising on technicality or durability. The objective is clear: to evolve each pair of salopettes so that female sailors can focus on what matters most — sailing in the best possible conditions, with complete confidence.

Conclusion

With the Element Offshore, SAILIZ replaces the Offshore 1 Basic:
it improves the range to better meet the diversity and demands of sea practices.

A commitment and a high standard:
to provide lasting protection, whatever the conditions.
