New Gear

ON TEST: Musto MPX offshore jacket

This range has long been a mainstay of Musto’s collection and has now been improved with a new generation three-layer Gore-Tex Pro membrane, with a recycled nylon face fabric.

The result is an efficient, but impressively lightweight and comfortable garment with plenty of freedom of movement.

Features include a reinforced lower back pane and improvements to the storm collar and hood, reducing bulk and allowing easy access, even when wearing a life jacket.

New photo-luminescent reflectors have a larger surface area and are extremely bright on the darkest of nights.
