Men's sailing jacket

Why wear a watch jacket?

A watch jacket is a technical marine garment worn by sailors. A watch jacket has the advantage of being waterproof and breathable. The best brands of watch jackets are Helly Hansen, Musto, Gill and Guy Cotten. The success of a sea trip depends largely on the choice of your equipment, and the watch jacket is surely the most important layer of protection. The primary purpose of a watch jacket is to protect you from rain and wind. It must therefore be waterproof and windproof.

From a thermal insulation point of view, a good watch jacket will keep your body warm while letting perspiration evaporate. You will thus avoid a condensation effect under the jacket. This is why it is also important to choose a watch jacket equipped with a waterproof and breathable membrane, which allows perspiration to be evacuated.

The different types of watch jackets

All the watch jackets are not equal, because they do not all have the same use. For an offshore trip in difficult weather conditions, it is better to opt for an offshore watch jacket like the MPX Pro Offshore Men's Jacket.

On the other hand, for an outing along the coast, with no need for optimal protection, a coastal jacket such as OS3 Coastal Gill will do the trick. For an outstanding quality/price ratio, a semi-offshore model like the Helly Hansen Skagen Offshore Jacket will accompany you along the coast as well as on the high seas.

Women's Watch Jacket

It should be noted that for the vast majority of models, you will find the equivalent in women's watch jacket, with a slightly more slim fit. This is the case, for example, of the Skagen Offshore Jacket Women from Helly Hansen. An element of comfort not negligible adapted to the female morphology.
