JL Purist in action

THE JL PURIST TURTLESHELL

The JL Purist is all about being in the boat. If you want a very rowing-specific vest, the Purist Turtleshell is the one for you and your team.

Low Neck---avoids contact with your chin as you execute that perfectly relaxed finish.
High Front--it may feel short when carrying your boat overhead, but during a ten minute piece, you'll appreciate the perfect, smooth fit at your belly.
The Turtle is Gender-specific! Made in Men's and Women's Cut!
NEW Design features--Binding on the armholes and Contrast Flatlock Stitching allow you to use more color when creating your custom Turtle.

Rowers have been trusting their backs to JL for over twenty years. That's when I designed the turtleshell--a unique and original garment. The JL Turtleshell fits and works because we have never scrimped on the materials or on the engineering.The first turtles had no zippers at all! Imagine wiggling in and out of a zipperless turtle while in a single. Joline Esparza
