The Chapin Company

Innovation, quality and dedication are important qualities when it comes to companies and their products, and I believe our newest advertiser, The Chapin Company, has these traits. The Chapin Co. designs and manufactures multi-use outerwear for sailing and other outdoor markets. They are the first company in the marine industry to use EPIC by Nextec® fabric --an encapsulated fabric that is engineered to maximize performance attributes such as breathability, water resistance, and durability without negatively affecting the feel of the fabric.

Last year, The Chapin Company announced a partnership with Dawn Riley, CEO of America True, and the team manager for the French K-Yachting Challenge bid for the 2007 America's Cup, to produce a line of outwear specifically made for women. This line is in addition to the all-new "ultra-light" product line for men. The vision for the Dawn Riley women's line is to build "accessible" products for a variety of weather conditions. Retail prices on the line will be attractive to customers considering the function and features of the products, which is in keeping with Chapin's business philosophy and Ms. Riley's criteria for the line. The products in the Dawn Riley line will be suitable for a majority of average user's needs. A percentage of the sales will go to America True's "True Youth" programs dedicated to providing youth nationwide with the opportunity to benefit from sailing and its inherent life's lessons.
