Musto oilskins are the benchmark in technical sailing, from coastal cruising to ocean racing. Designed with advanced technologies like GORE-TEX Pro and proprietary BR1 and BR2 fabrics, they offer varying levels of protection based on the intensity of the conditions at sea.
On HiNelson you will find a select assortment that includes the HPX, MPX, BR2 Offshore and BR1 Channel lines, designed to cover all needs: from coastal cruising to extreme offshore sailing.
The choice of Musto waxed jacket depends primarily on the type of sailing and the level of exposure to the elements. Intermittent rain and day trips require different characteristics than long offshore crossings or ocean racing. Musto clearly structures its range: BR1 for coastal use, BR2 for advanced offshore sailing, MPX for demanding sailing, and HPX for extreme conditions.
The BR1 Channel is designed for coastal activities. It uses BR1 waterproof technology with fully welded seams, a high-visibility hood, and reflective details. It's ideal for coastal cruising and leisure boating.
BR2 Offshore 2.0 introduces superior protection with 30k/15k performance and PFC-free LDWR treatment. It offers high waterproofness and breathability while maintaining lightness and comfort even during longer cruises.
The MPX GTX Pro Offshore 2.0 takes things to the next level with GORE-TEX Pro, fully welded seams, and a construction designed for demanding offshore racing and sailing. It has been tested in ocean races like the Vendée Globe.
The HPX GTX Pro Ocean represents Musto's pinnacle of technical performance. Crafted with GORE-TEX Pro Ocean Technology, Cordura® reinforcements and YKK AQUASEAL® zips, it's designed to handle the brutal conditions of offshore sailing and ocean racing.
For coastal sailing in changeable weather, a BR1 provides reliable protection and comfort without excessive bulk. For continuous offshore sailing in strong winds and constant spray, the BR2 and MPX offer greater water resistance and improved internal moisture management. For ocean racing and extreme conditions, the HPX provides maximum insulation from the elements thanks to its advanced construction and strategic reinforcements.
Musto oilskins integrate specific solutions for real-world use:
These elements reduce infiltration, improve durability and ensure comfort even during intense maneuvers.
Musto is one of the most recognized brands in international technical sailing. From coastal cruising to ocean racing, each line is designed to offer a precise level of protection, without compromising waterproofness, breathability, or freedom of movement. Choosing a Musto waxed jacket means investing in equipment designed to withstand the real-world conditions of sailing.
