Why wear a women's watch jacket

A woman's watch jacket is a technical marine garment worn by women 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. Your equipment plays a determining role in the success of your sea trip. Indeed, the weather conditions at sea can be very rough and it is better to avoid under-equipment the day you face a rash. To equip yourself correctly, it is essential to know the 3-layer rule: a soft and comfortable under layer, a fleece to keep you warm, then a women's watch jacket to protect you from the rain and wind.

Which watch jacket to choose ?

The women's watch jacket is your third layer of protection. Its role is not to keep you warm but to keep you dry. The first feature to look for when choosing your women's watch jacket is its waterproofing level. Called Schmerber level, waterproofness is measured in mm, and the higher the number of mm, the more waterproof your jacket will be. So why not always choose completely waterproof clothing? Simply because waterproof clothing does not breathe. On a women's watch jacket, waterproof membranes keep water out, but allow your sweat to escape. New technologies applied to women's watch jackets make performance much more enjoyable. Beyond the Schmerber level, you'll need to consider the type of sailing you'll be doing. Of course, there is no point in taking a high performance women's watch jacket for an afternoon of sailing in the Mediterranean! Nevertheless, if you want to be sure to choose an efficient women's watch jacket even during prolonged heavy rain, a Schmerber level of 10,000 mm is recommended.
