Musto Sailing Jacket Men's BR3 Sport is made for active sailors who want to stay dry and agile without thick, stiff layers. The stretchy outer fabric works with the breathable, waterproof BR3 membrane to keep rain and spray out while allowing warmth and moisture out. The fit is sporty and moves with trimming, reefing and quick movement on deck; contoured sleeves and a light, supple material feel help. The hood is quickly adjustable and offers a clear view around the cockpit, the high collar shields wind when it gets colder, and the zipper runs smoothly with a sheltered seal against blow-in water. Cuffs and hem can be adjusted tightly to prevent splashing water from entering, while pockets in just the right places provide practical storage space for cold hands or a knife and tape.
On Dutch lakes and along the coast, you especially notice how controlled the balance is between protection and ventilation. When actively steering or hoisting you lose excess heat, but in a gust of wind or downpour the jacket keeps out water and cold and your midlayer stays dry. The fabric feels solid, can withstand frequent use and washes out easily after salt water, maintaining performance even after a season of intensive sailing. Combine the BR3 Sport with a technical baselayer and a warm midlayer for cold days, or wear it solo in mild conditions; either way, freedom of movement remains great and protection reliable. This is no-frills sailing apparel designed to simply work when you need it: comfortable, practical and ready for changeable weather. A sturdy and reliable choice for those who want carefree enjoyment on the water.
