WSO Wishlist: Sailor's Saviours

Time to update your sailing kit? Take a look at our favourite five products…

Musto MPX Race Salopettes

Musto MPX Race Salopettes £219

These race salopettes have been designed by Musto to offer higher protection and a slimmer styling than the MPX Trousers – we love them! Perfect for both inshore and offshore sailors who demand maximum freedom of movement and high protection. They’re made from Gore-Tex Pro Shell laminate with Nylatex Stretch shoulders and come with a high chest fit. Other great features include side attachment point for multi-tool, 2-way water high wear resistant knee and seat patches and non-abrasive stretch ankle seals with velcro adjustment.

Gill Regatta Master Watch

Gill Regatta Master Watch £103.50

Every sailor needs a watch that’s been created especially for their sport. We love the stylish Regatta Master by Gill, which is made using a stainless steel reinforced ABS plastic construction creating a tough, impact resistant case that’s water resistant to 50m. Some of the features you’ll love are its countdown timer with synchro, stopwatch timer, international dual time feature and sleep mode to preserve battery life. You’ll wonder what you did without it!

Musto HPX Ocean Jacket

Musto HPX Ocean Jacket £399

If you’re looking for a jacket you can rely on in even the foulest of weather conditions, but is still light and comfortable, you’ll love the Musto HPX Ocean Jacket. It’s boasts a 3-layer GORE-TEX Pro Shell and Gore Micro Grid Backer offering the ultimate in breathable, waterproof and durable performance fabrics. This jacket, currently with £276 off the RRP has pretty much every handy feature you could imagine including roll-away fluorescent hood with width and height adjustment, fully adjustable and pre-shaped spume visor, branded prismatic reflectors and lifejacket attachment points which allow lifejacket and HPX jacket to be taken off and put on together.

GUL Full Length Deck Boot

GUL Full Length Deck Boot £40.50

Need some new deck boots? We love this full length pair from Gul – fully waterproof as well as being supremely comfortable. They feature an adjustable padded top to minimise water flush, reinforced heel and toe and Gul’s quick dry lining and removable cushioned inner sole for comfort and non-slip razor cut sole. Tidy!

Crewsaver Cirrus Package

Crewsaver Cirrus Package £299

When lots of your kit is due an upgrade at the same time, or you’re new to sailing, you can often make a significant saving by investing in a bundle. This Crewsaver package includes drysuit, boots and buoyancy aid and has been marked down from £432.50! The Cirrus drysuit is fully breathable fabric with taped seams, front entry dry zip and Glideskin neoprene neck and cuff seals for comfort. The Basalt boots give excellent performance in all sailing conditions with front Velcro entry and moulded high grip sole. The Chromis 50n buoyancy is Crewsaver’s best-selling and features 3D shaped soft PVC foam panels, adjustable side, shoulder straps and waist belt and 400 denier nylon with reflective piping. That’s a lot of great quality kit!
