The MPX GORE-TEX Pro Offshore Jacket has been created to keep you comfortable in all weathers whilst out on the boat, it comes in Brilliant Blue, True Red or Black and is available in sizes XS-XXL. Updated for the new season this MPX Offshore Jacket features an improved cut for increased levels of comfort and a darted sleeve construction for better flexibility and range of movements. It has a three-layer GORE-TEX Pro fabric construction, this provides added durability without adding any bulk, with less weight means it is well suited for active sailing. In case you have been living under a rock and have never heard of GORE-TEX it is the ultimate weather protection material, it is durably waterproof and windproof whilst at the same time highly breathable. Musto is the only marine company in the world to hold a license for making accessories with GORE-TEX fabric, the fabric is sandwiched between the outer shell fabric and an inner liner and made up with microscopic pores that cover the membrane.
These are 20,000 times smaller than a water droplet, but 700 times larger than a water vapour molecule, this construction makes the membrane impermeable to moisture yet breathable so moisture from skin escapes easily. This jacket features 28,000mm of water protection with a heat-retentive grid fleece-lined funnel and hood pod with a highly protective, adjustable spume, this keeps you dry and warm with zero irritation around the face and neck. The external storm flap has a hook and loop closure for a secure seal, the shock cord hem adjustment and twin-sprung cord lock with rubberised finish means you can get a precise fit and prevent spray from entering the jacket. The fully-adjustable, pre-shaped spume visor protects your face from spray and rain whilst the photoluminescent reflectors glow in the dark to increase visibility in low light and at night. The grid fleece lining in the high collar and crown of the hood add some warmth when needed and the flexible and light weight material means you can easily move naturally in all directions. The MPX Pro Offshore is a high-performing jacket that allows you to focus on the sailing experience whilst remaining visible and protected from the elements. RRP £550
