John:
 
Attached are two pictures taken by Rod Spearin who is a Crescent member.  These were taken before and after the Bell's Beer  Mackinac sailboat race.  This is a major Great Lakes sailing event and over 200 boats were entered.  For more info, go to www.byc.com and scroll to the Mackinac Race link.
 
Rod took third place in the Benneteau 36.7 class.  All of his crew were wearing Railriders Jamin shorts and several members were wearing Hydro-Zip tees.
 
I thought you might like to see these for future advertising.
Here is a picture of myself at the helm of a Dufour Gibsea 46 in Tortola, BVI this January 2011.  It was my first sailing trip there and I wore my oasis shirt all the time.  I got lots of really dirty dirt on the sleeve when I had to help feed the anchor chain into the holding area but it cleaned up like a dream!!!!  I will wear it often this year and my new shirt and capris!!! - Rita Wolfe
I thought you might enjoy the attached photos of some rail riders I captured on film in San Blas, Mexico.  I left Seattle in September of 2009 wearing my first pair of Rail Riders that I purchased in the mid 90’s.  I wear them for everything and they just are wonderful.  With a pair of silk underwear they are perfect for night watch.  During rainy hikes they are perfect and keep me from catching a chill.  I’ve hiked and rock scrambled, touch whales, fished and just had an all round good time in this equipment.  I have two other pair now, but the first pair is still my favorite.  

Thanks for the great product. Rose Loper,  SV Lovely Lady

Just another photo showing how well your clothing holds up to adversity. This is me in the daily downpour that was Phang Nga Bay during our catamaran charter. Every afternoon the shirt and I would get totally soaked and then we would both dry overnight. Thankfully the rain was always warm. Think your shirt held up better than I did.
