Musto sailing set for men and women
A Musto sailing set is a matched bundle of sailing jacket and sailing trouser or salopette from the same Musto line, delivered in matching colour scheme and always cheaper than buying both items separately. The set bundles are organised by offshore line: BR1 Channel for coastal entry, BR2 Offshore for weekend passages, BR3 Pertex Offshore for those who prefer Pertex Shield material, MPX Gore-Tex Pro for offshore racing and HPX Pro Ocean for ocean racing. We stock sailing sets for both men and women in all main lines except HPX (men only). The Musto Sailing Set collection is part of our wider Musto sailing gear collection.
Which Musto sailing set fits your sailing area?
As with individual Musto sailing jackets, the choice between sets is determined by your sailing area, the duration of your trips and the weather you expect. The table below compares the five sailing set lines.
| Set line | Material | Sailing area | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| BR1 Channel | 2-layer BR1 fabric | Coastal and inland | Day trips |
| BR2 Offshore | 2-layer BR2 fabric | Coastal to offshore | Multi-day trips |
| BR3 Pertex Offshore | Pertex Shield membrane | Mid-tier offshore | Weekend passages, lighter pack |
| MPX Offshore and Race | 3-layer Gore-Tex Pro | Offshore racing | Racing and long passages |
| HPX Pro Ocean | 3-layer Gore-Tex Pro with reinforcements | Ocean racing | Solo round-the-world, transatlantic |
For day sailors on inland water a BR1 Channel set is more than enough. Sailors going offshore who consider a Gore-Tex Pro upgrade look at MPX. HPX is the top class for racing teams and ocean racers.

What is included in a Musto sailing set?
A standard Musto sailing set consists of a waterproof jacket and a matching salopette or trouser in the same colour scheme. The salopette has adjustable braces and a high back panel for extra protection in spray and rain. You order jacket and trouser in separate sizes, since most sailors don't wear the same size in both. Beyond the standard sets Musto offers a BR2 Compleet set for men, an extended bundle with additional accessories such as a midlayer or bag. Also check our general sailing set category if you want to compare sailing sets from Helly Hansen, Mystic and other brands alongside Musto.
Frequently asked questions about Musto sailing sets
What is the advantage of a sailing set over separate jacket and trouser?
A sailing set offers three advantages over separate purchase. First: price. A set is always cheaper than buying jacket and salopette separately, with an average saving of ten to twenty percent. Second: colour and fit are always matched, so you don't get a mismatch between top and bottom. Third: material consistency. With a set you're sure that jacket and trouser have the same waterproof classification (for example both MPX Gore-Tex Pro), which is sometimes overlooked when buying separately. For beginners or a complete new outfit, a Musto sailing set is almost always the most logical choice. For replacing just one item, separate purchase is fine.
Can I choose separate sizes for jacket and trouser?
Yes, and we recommend it. With a sailing set you order the jacket size and trouser size independently, since most sailors wear different sizes in each. Men typically order their regular outerwear size for the jacket and a corresponding trouser size based on waist and hip measurements. Women can consider one size down on the jacket for a sportier fit. The salopette has a high back panel reaching mid-back, so when in doubt also check the shoulder width in the size chart on the product page. Caught between two sizes? Contact us for advice.
What colours are available in Musto sailing sets?
Musto offers different colour combinations per line. BR1 Channel sets come in black, dark blue, dark blue/black and red/black. BR2 Offshore sets are available in black, red/black, yellow/black and dark blue, for men and women with some additional colour variants such as the Offshore 2.0 in yellow/black or dark blue/black for women specifically. BR3 Pertex Offshore sets come in grey/black, blue/black and red. MPX Offshore sets we stock in black, red, red/black and grey-blue/black, MPX Race in black and light grey/black. HPX Pro Ocean is available only in red, because fluorescent red offers maximum visibility in man-overboard situations.
Which Musto sailing sets are available for women?
Musto carries women's sailing sets in four of the five main lines: BR1 Channel sailing set in black and dark blue, BR2 Offshore sailing set in black and red/black plus the Offshore 2.0 in yellow/black and dark blue/black, BR3 Pertex Offshore sailing set in grey/black and blue/black, and MPX Offshore 2.0 sailing set in black and red/black. The women's cut is sportier and shorter than the men's version, with adjustable braces that match female shoulder width. The HPX line is currently stocked for men only. For women looking for a top-class Gore-Tex Pro set, MPX Offshore 2.0 is the highest option.
