Perfect for fall as well as winter, the boat jacket is the go-to garment for shelter from the elements, especially the unexpected ones. But if at one time these garments were too “technical” and unsuitable for urban use, partly because of the until recently unaffordable prices of the materials, today the jacket is depopulating in all cities. Why? Because it is the most practical and comfortable garment there is.
5 COMFORTABLE JACKETS TO STAY DRY AT ALL TIMES
Rain & Sea / Sealup Blouson Bretello
Head of the historic Italian brand that has “Rain & Sea” as its identity claim, and in this jacket you can see the soul of the slogan. Made of polyester with water repellent treatment, the jacket is embellished with an inner band of edged fabric, where thebrand’s iconic logo stands out, which can be used to hold the jacket over the shoulder when not wearing it.

Perfect for beginner sailors but made by professional technicians with the advice of experienced sailors, this jacket is perfectly suited for use during all seasons and in all weather conditions.
HERE IS THE JACKET FOR ALL SAILORS
Reliable / Slam Nautical Jacket Win-D 1
Shell composed of a bi-laminated structure formed by two different overlapping fabrics. Made of stretch ripstop fabric, it is designed to cope with sailing and city crossings while ensuring freedom of movement in all situations.
THE JACKET OF THE HISTORIC BRAND THAT IS RETURNING
Clothes The Champions / Sail Racing Spray Softshell
Polyester and spandex fabric provide elasticity to the garment in all four directions. Lined with mesh fabric that provides breathability to the body, the jacket produced by Sail Racing is embellished on the chest, back and sleeves with the Swedish brand’s reflective logo.

Always Visible / Geox Xled
Geox with its reflective jacket seeks to bring an innovation that is as simple as it is effective and useful to the market. Thanks to the LEDs in the jacket, powered by a powerbank, you will always be visible (but not obtrusively so) both on the boat and at the dock. A treat for geeky sailors.
