WHAT TO WEAR
Musto makes precison-engineered clothing and footwear that keeps you warm, dry and comfortable. It keeps you safe. It keeps you focused. It turns the weather into the joy of crossing the finish line first. Whatever your passion, experience the difference of wearing the best outdoor clothing and footwear.
OCEAN SAILING
Ocean sailors have to endure some of the harshest conditions on the planet. Icy decks awash with rain and spray. Gale force winds that steal the heat from your body. Musto’s highly-engineered ocean sailing collection features the most weatherproof gear on the market. Developed, tested and chosen by the world’s elite ocean sailors.
OUTER LAYER
The outer layer in the 3-Layer System should be highly protective: safeguarding you against the elements while keeping you visible. Garments featuring GORE-TEX® supply this ultimate all-weather protection whilst being supremely breathable. This makes GORE-TEX® garments highly suited to active people. For a cost-efficient alternative, Musto’s BR2 technology offers a comparable level of waterproof protection and breathability.
MID LAYER
Your lightweight mid-layer builds on the temperature regulation of your base. But it also protects you from the elements. Breathable and lightweight, the mid-layer should be water-resistant and fast-drying while offering complete freedom of movement. Look to garments featuring PrimaLoft®. This insulation feature technical properties such as water-resistance, fast-drying times and a light weight comparable to down.
BASE LAYER
The foundation of your kit. An effective base layer should trap air next to the skin, minimising the loss of body heat. Perspiration also transmits heat up to thirty times faster than air. That’s why a base layer needs to be breathable, wicking and fast-drying: merino wool and thermal fleece are ideal base fabrics. Choose highly wicking and mildly insulating materials when engaging in aerobic activities in cold weather. Our Active Base Layers have been designed for these periods of high energy.
ACCESSORIES
High-performance accessories complete your outfit and give you the edge out on the water. Musto Thermal and fast wicking caps and hats keep the water and sun away from your eyes, while the premium footwear, gloves and socks ensure that you sail in complete comfort. Wherever the journey takes you, stay prepared with a waterproof holdall to keep your kit safe and dry.
OFFSHORE SAILING
The unpredictable and often volatile conditions of offshore sailing present a multitude of challenges for sailors. While you can’t control the elements, you can master them with the right kit.
OUTER LAYER
An outer shell layer is an essential item for your kit bag. Shell layers are your primary shield against the elements so a good one must be extremely waterproof, windproof and breathable, to keep you warm, dry and comfortable on deck. Musto’s MPX range has been designed to exacting technical standards, with essential sailing features such as high visibility photoluminescent reflectors to keep you safe and visible in all conditions.
MID LAYER
A good mid layer provides warmth and weatherproof protection without adding bulk. Lightweight and breathable mid layers are ideal for the offshore sailor - utilise GORE-TEX® technical fabrics and Polartec® fleeces to keep the elements at bay. Their packable design allows you to stow them in your day bag ready for wind and rain.
BASE LAYER
Offshore sailors need their base layers to be highly breathable, lightweight and flexible. In hot conditions, the base layer may be all you wear on deck, so opt for UV treated garments to protect your skin from the sun. In cold conditions, your base needs to be warm and comfortable. Utilise technical fabrics, including merino wool, to optimise your gear’s wicking, thermal and breathable properties.
ACCESSORIES
No kit bag is complete for offshore sailing without the accessory essentials. Durable, supportive footwear is a must to keep your feet comfortable and protected. To keep the sun and water away from your eyes, opt for a peaked cap either in a fast dry or GORE-TEX fabric or a heat retentive fabric for colder environments.
COASTAL SAILING
Coastal and channel sailors experience some of the best views in the world. But that’s not to say the wet, wind and cold doesn’t touch them. Musto’s coastal collection features weatherproof pieces that combat changeable coastal conditions. Utilise as part of Musto’s pioneering 3-Layer System AND you’ll be able to focus on the horizon instead of the weather.
OUTER LAYER
Coastal and channel sailors alike need highly weatherproof outer layers. Highly protective, the outer layer safeguards you against the weather while keeping you visible.
MID LAYER
When temperatures fall, reach for your mid-layer. Designed to be warm, protective and light, these packable pieces can be stowed in your kit bag ready for when you need them. Look to garments featuring PrimaLoft® and Polartec® for packable insulation. An essential layer for day sailors in any climate.
BASE LAYER
The base layer is the groundwork other layers build upon. Moisture wicking and fast drying, this layer’s main role is to keep you dry and comfortable. Merino wool is an ideal fabric for warmth on fresher days. UPF treated fabrics can be worn without layers on fair to sunny days around the coast.
ACCESSORIES
Coastal sailing can deliver unpredictable weather conditions over just a few short days, even at the height of Summer, so it is essential you pack the right kit. The right accessories will help keep your extremities comfortable and dry so you can sail with the weather and not against it.
INSHORE SAILING
Musto’s innovative inshore sailing range features the most weatherproof and wearable gear on the market. Comfortable, breathable and lightweight, this apparel combines complete protection with the freedom to move. Use as part of a 3-Layer System to meet your needs out at sea.
OUTER LAYER
Drenched by spray. Battered by strong coastal winds. Your environment can stop you performing at your best. That’s why the outer layer in the 3-Layer System is highly protective. The outer layer safeguards you against the weather while keeping you visible. Garments featuring GORE-TEX® supply the ultimate in elemental protection whilst being supremely breathable - a particular benefit to highly active sailors.
MID LAYER
Versatile, lightweight and packable. The mid-layer builds on the temperature regulation of your base and protects you from the elements. This means it can also be worn as an outer layer on fairer days.
BASE LAYER
The foundation of your kit. An effective base layer should trap air next to the skin, minimising the loss of body heat. Perspiration also transmits heat up to thirty times faster than air. That’s why a base layer needs to be breathable, wicking and fast-drying. Opt for a technical, UV-treated garment on sunnier days at sea.
ACCESSORIES
Perform at your best with the right tools for the job. Alongside your layers, you need a well-stocked kit bag of sailing essentials to maximise your inshore sailing experience. Pick up a Waterproof Dry Pack or a Waterproof Backpack to keep your gear safe and dry while on deck, and don’t forget essential headgear, footwear and accessories.
