The ocean sailing and racing smock built off decades of experience, thousands of nautical miles and feedback from the most demanding sailors. Engineered with Bluesign Approved Gore-Tex Pro Ocean fabric, for the greatest barrier against the elements and unmatched breathability. Dependable latex seals against water at the cuffs and collars, even through high pressure waves. XVR Interconnect collar and hood pod is detachable for physical manoeuvres and easily reattached for sitting through long watches. Resulting in the first pick for professionals from The Ocean Race to the Vendée Globe.
Gore-Tex Pro Ocean fabric combines the Gore-Tex Pro waterproof membrane, specifically tailored to keep out salt water, and a compactly woven durable outer protective layer for enhanced water repellency. United with a solution dyed micro-grid backer, this 3-layer fabric becomes Gore-Tex Pro Ocean, unique to Musto and the strongest foundation for all HPX wet weather gear. Maximum waterproof protection but still incredible breathability, which is why the most successful skippers always come back to Musto’s Gore-Tex Pro Ocean products.
Developed alongside the most experienced offshore sailors, tested in the roughest oceans, The Musto HPX Gore-Tex Pro Ocean Smock Suit can be relied upon to keep the elements out, in the toughest conditions.
Musto HPX Gore-Tex Pro Ocean Smock
Latex seals provide the very best barrier against water leaking up the sleeves and down the neck. These are ruggedly engineered onto the arms and collar for durability over 1000s of miles.
4 photoluminescent (glow in the dark) reflectors have been fitted in key areas, shoulders, and sleeve ends. These not only reflect light but will glow in the dark after being in direct sunlight throughout the day.
The adjustable outer cuffs can be tightened for even more protection at the wrist entry points. Includes a clever split design to reduce bulk when adjusted. Hook and loop has been recessed, which can be pointed out by the outlining, to minimise catching edges on soft sea-soaked hands.
A neoprene waist band sits under the low skirt of the smock which can be tightened to provide a seal against water flushing up your top. The low skirt provides a noticeable feeling of protection, and the flexible, abrasion resistant Cordura® panel on the seat provides outstanding durability in this high wear area.
The use cases for this product have been expanded thanks to the removable XVR Interconnect high collar and hood pod. Easily zipped on and off yourself whilst wearing the product, you don’t even have to get off the rail. Remove the collar for greater vision and awareness while undertaking active sail changes. Re-zip the collar to block the elements when settling down into a long watch.
The collar features a top loading hi-vis hood resulting in a super low-profile design when this adjustable, helmet compatible hood is stowed. Not only is it more comfortable when wearing a lifejacket, but it’s deployable, and stowable whilst wearing the lifejacket.
Lifejacket adaptability doesn’t stop there. The spacious kangaroo style chest pocket and hand warmer pockets are positioned low enough to be accessible whilst wearing the lifejacket with minimal bulk thanks to a low-profile design and advanced pattern cutting.
