Mustang Survival Meris Waterproof Salopette
Building on the proven design of the Meris Waterproof Bibs, Mustang Survival’s new Meris Waterproof Salopette offers a relaxed fit with reduced bulk for unrestricted movement. Whether you’re grinding winches, scrambling across the deck, or bracing against heavy seas, you’ll be able to get the job done in comfort in a coastal or offshore environment. A two-way waterproof YKK AQUASEAL® zipper ensures full coverage and keeps weight to a minimum, while adjustable knees, waist, and hem provide a tailored fit. Removable lightweight knee pads absorb impact on unforgiving decks, double thigh pockets feature a clear window section for notes and a tool tie-in point, and there is extra space with a zippered chest pocket and two dump pockets. The salopette is available in an extended size range for men and women from XS to XXL, making it a top choice for a wider range of users.

Weems & Plath LX Steaming/Deck Light
Weems & Plath recently announced the launch of the newest addition to its OGM Series of LED Navigation Lights: the LX Steaming/Deck Light. Purpose-built for marine environments and designed with the needs of sailors and power boaters in mind, this unique combination light offers versatility, ruggedness, and long-lasting performance. The light combines Weems & Plath’s ocean-proven LX Steaming/Masthead LED Navigation Light with a dual-color deck light that lets you switch between red or white deck illumination. This feature gives sailors the option to have either a red deck light to preserve night vision and reduce glare, or a white light to help illuminate the deck for detailed work. The housing and mounting wings are made from solid aluminum and have been hard-coated with military-spec anodization to ensure they withstand the harshest ocean environments. The sealed UV-resistant acrylic lenses help protect the powerful LEDs that provide over 100,000 hours of brightness. The light is USCG, ABYC, and COLREGS certified and exceeds 3 miles of visibility, making it ideal for sailboats and power boats under 65 feet.
