First designed in 2015, Gill’s unique Vortex Hood solves a major issue faced by sport fisherman and boaters; to keep the hood in place when travelling at high speeds.
The principle behind the technology is simple; three channels and air vents are built into the hood, allowing  air to flow over, through and around it. 
The result: a slip stream effect that keeps the hood in place.
Whilst others have tried to imitate, Gill remains the home of the original Vortex Hood technology.
The Vortex Hood technology was designed five years ago by our in-house Product Development Team and has been constantly developed and refined since. Whilst over the years the construction of the technology has been imitated by many others, Gill remains the home of the original Vortex Hood technology.
