Finisterre is turning Black Friday “Blue”! Until Dec 1, every purchase goes towards protecting the oceans. Plus, don’t miss their collab with the RNLI. 10% of all proceeds from these snazzy marine-heritage inspired pieces goes to the RNLI. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

For the fifth consecutive year, homegrown outdoor brand Finisterre is turning Black Friday\u2026 Blue.<\/p>\n

Over \u201cBlue\u201d Friday, \u00a32 \/ $2.50 from every Finisterre purchase goes to one their ocean partners to help protect the oceans and to help people of all kinds enjoy them.<\/p>\n

Since starting Blue Friday, Finisterre has raised over \u00a350,000 for ocean access and conservation. In partnership with Surfers Against Sewage, Surfrider Foundation, and others, these donations have gone towards everything from adaptive swimsuits to ocean protection swimming lessons for kids with disabilities.<\/p>\n

Pretty awesome, if you ask me. And it gets better.<\/p>\n

As it turns out, Finisterre has a special collaboration with our beloved RNLI<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Not only do its limited edition items have a great marine heritage feel and functional design, but 10% of every purchase goes towards funding this important institution. If there\u2019s anything I\u2019d personally pick up this Black\u2013 sorry, Blue\u2013 Friday, it\u2019d be items from this collection.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s great stuff for a great cause, one particularly near and dear to our sailor hearts.<\/p>\n

Finisterre + the RNLI: double up on your donations<\/h2>\n

With every purchase of a piece from this amazing collab between Finisterre and the RNLI, an extra 10% of proceeds goes to supporting the organisation.<\/p>\n

Any one of these items would make for a perfect holiday gift for a sailor, and all together they would be an incredible package (that colour-coordinated beanie\/sock combo?!).<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what\u2019s in the Finisterre\/RNLI collab, and how much you\u2019ll end up donating overall if you purchase on Blue Friday.<\/p>\n

\nI\u2019m always looking for the right pair of comfy, lightweight shorts to wear onboard. They have to be movement friendly, extremely durable, and have plenty of pockets to fit the bill. These seem like they tick all the boxes, and at 40% off make for a bargain. You can also get the long version for 50% off<\/a> right now.<\/p>\n

Women\u2019s Croft Smock \u2013 Was \u00a3110, Now \u00a355<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>
\nFinisterre\u2019s take on the sailor smock is a pretty great one. I wear my classic version from St. James all the time, especially in the mid-season, but if I had one criticism, it\u2019s that it\u2019s cut too lean around the waist. This one seems to be a bit roomier, and I think that\u2019s an improvement on this iconic style. This version of the sailor smock is a perfect updated classic, cute and functional\u2013 and 50% off.<\/p>\n

\nFinisterre\u2019s sweaters are so nice, but not in everyone\u2019s price range. This 100% Shetland Wool jumper is a little more affordable, and delightful. If you\u2019ve been looking for an investment piece to help you face the winter season, Blue Friday is as good an excuse as any.<\/p>\n

Other Finisterre items for sailors<\/h2>\n

I like basically every one of Finisterre\u2019s fishermen-inspired knitwear <\/a>\u00a0(especially this funky ocean-minded THRILLS NOT SPILLS chunky sweater<\/a>\u2014 so fun).<\/p>\n

They also have plenty of outdoor-friendly gear.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth having a look through their selection of changing robes<\/a>, both in terry cloth and more serious stuff for cold water swimming, which you could complement with a handy changing mat.<\/a><\/p>\n

And don\u2019t even get me started on the wetsuits<\/a>, which are also available for rental<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The idea is to make ocean-going more acceptable worldwide (yep, it\u2019s global). You can try before you buy<\/a>, or rent to figure out which product works best for you. Pretty awesome, and a great step towards reducing unnecessary consumption.<\/p>\n

\nPacking cubes may seem like a rogue option, but if there\u2019s one thing all sailors have in common it\u2019s that they\u2019re always thinking about space, and how to take up less of it onboard.
