Best sailing jackets: From inshore to ocean-ready waterproofs

• Rupert Holmes
• November 21, 2023

The very best of today’s technical clothing is extremely good and will keep you warm and dry in all but the most extreme conditions imaginable.

The massive choice of sailing jackets – and wildly varying price points – can be bewildering even for the most experienced sailors. This can make figuring out the best sailing jacket for your specific needs a daunting task. Of course, this is an easy problem to solve if you simply throw money at it.

However, for most people it would mean spending far more than is necessary and at the high end, some of the pricing is eye-watering. In any case, if the only sailing jacket you have is truly top-notch, you’re likely to wear it out in conditions that lower-spec garments could not handle as well. Although, it may not be as comfortable in ordinary weather as cheaper alternatives.

Best coastal sailing jackets

Gill OS3 Coastal Jacket

Specifications: Weight – 2,000g | Sizes – S-XXL | Choice of colours – 3 | Materials – Nylon, Polyester, XPEL

Reasons to buy: Fully taped seams | Hi-vis hood with 2-way adjustment system | Non-absorbent and quick-drying lining Reasons to avoid: In wintery conditions, you’ll want to add a base layer or two

Gill’s latest lightweight OS3 fabrics use a fundamentally more sustainable material than the long-running industry standard durable water-repellant (DWR) coatings. These have been used for decades to improve waterproofing. Did you know it’s what makes the water bead off a new jacket?

However, DWR finishes are typically based on fluoropolymers that have toxic by-products which persist in the environment. Instead, Gill’s OS3 range uses a plant-based finish that performs the same function as the DWR coating. Result!

The OS3 jacket is made of a two-layer fabric with a non-absorbent, quick-drying lining. It has a high-visibility hood, adjustable cuffs with PU inner seals, and an internal storm guard. It’s available for men and women.

Best sailing smock

Specifications: Weight – 420g | Sizes – S-XXXXL | Choice of colours – 2 | Materials – Polyamide, Polyester

Reasons to buy: Excellent light weight option | Excellent protection from water ingress | Packs down very small Reasons to avoid: Not suitable for very windy or cold conditions

There’s much to be said for the advantages of a smock style top, without a full front zip, as they usually offer better protection than a jacket of similar specification. The Gill Verso Lite Jacket is a slimline and impressively lightweight garment – the medium size version I tested weighs only 420 grammes.

The jacket is made of Gill’s Explore fabric, a two-layer system without a separate lining that balances outright performance against weight and breathability. All seams are fully taped.

Cuffs are lined with PU, which makes an effective seal using the Velcro tabs, but without the extra bulk and complication of an inner cuff.

While this isn’t the only jacket I’d take for a long offshore passage in serious weather, it’s ideal for use in more moderate conditions and packs so small it’s feasible to carry in addition to full ocean gear.

Musto Sardinia Jacket 2.0

Specifications: Weight – 652g | Sizes – S-XL | Choice of colours – 7 | Materials – Polyamide, Polyester

Reasons to buy: Mesh lined for enhanced comfort | Zipped side and chest pockets | Detachable and adjustable hood with a stiffened peak Reasons to avoid: Not designed for winter sailing so you would need to buy another sailing jacket

Economical and very lightweight is the best way to describe the Musto Sardinia Jacket 2.0. If you’re out at sea for daysailing in the summer, this is an essential.

It uses the same two-layer BR1 fabric Musto uses for its full-specification BR1 inshore jacket. It has a detachable hood, plus four pockets, including an inner chest pocket that gives valuables some protection from the wet weather.

On the downside, there are no hand-warmer pockets, the collar is not fleece-lined and there’s no inner cuff seal.

Nevertheless, its lightweight, packs super-small, is comfortable and doesn’t restrict movement. You won’t need anything better for many decent summer days and it can be worn ashore as well.

Musto BR2 Coastal Jacket

Specifications: Weight – Undisclosed | Sizes – S-XXL | Choice of colours – 2 | Materials – Polyamide, Polyester

Reasons to buy: Double storm flap | Fluorescent hood | Fleece-lined handwarmer pockets Reasons to avoid: At the pricier end of the coastal jacket spectrum.

This is an ideal mid-range jacket from one of the big-name manufacturers. The two-layer fabric has a significantly higher level of water resistance than inshore products.

The articulated cut ensures freedom of movement and there’s a double storm flap, fluorescent hood and high fleece-lined collar.

There are also fleece hand warmer pockets, plus two cargo pockets, an internal zipped pocket and a sunglasses pocket. The reflective detailing shows up clearly at night and there are double waterproof cuffs.

Zhik INS200 Jacket

Best summer sailing jacket

Specifications:   Weight – 510g | Sizes – S-XXL | Choice of colours – 2 | Materials – Vecta, Polyurethane

Reasons to buy: Three-layer fabric with taped seams | Fully waterproof and features adjustable cuffs Reasons to avoid: It is relatively expensive for a coastal jacket.

If you’re in the market for a lightweight performance sailing jacket, then the Zhik INS200 jacket might well be the right thing for you.

Lightweight technical fabrics are expensive and typically Zhik’s kit is therefore not the cheapest on the market. Nevertheless, the state of the art fabrics it uses and the high level of attention to detail rarely fails to impress.

The streamlined and minimalist look of the INS-200 jacket conceals many neat features. For instance the hood has a soft Spandex gusset that sits comfortably on the forehead and performs several functions.

This improves protection against water ingress, while sealing the hood against wind, making it feel much warmer. It also automatically turns the hood as you turn your head.

For offshore use, when extreme conditions may be encountered, you can use this as a comfortable option when under way in good weather and when going ashore, while reserving a cumbersome full-ocean spec jacket for use only in bad weather.

Best offshore sailing jackets

Decathlon Tribord Sailing Jacket Offshore 900

Best offshore sailing jacket under £300

Specifications: Weight – Undisclosed | Sizes – XS-XXXL | Choice of colours – 3 | Materials – Polyamide, Polyurethane, Polyester, Elastane, Rubber

Reasons to buy: Competitively priced | Developed alongside ocean racing skippers Jean-Baptiste Daramy, Achille Nebout, Romain Le Gall and Léo Bothore | Reinforced bottom for improved durability. Reasons to avoid: The women’s version doesn’t include a face guard

This French company develops and retails its own brand products, but doesn’t change its ranges unnecessarily merely to suit the whims of fashion. The result is long-lasting gear at very competitive prices.

This is the firm’s top-specification offshore jacket, made from a three-layer fabric with four times the waterproofing rating of typical inshore products.

It also has a high collar, adjustable hood with rigid visor, double sleeve seals and two hand warmer pockets. In addition, there are two cargo pockets and a further secure and drier pocket under the storm flap.

Helly Hansen Aegir Race Jacket

Specifications: Weight – 1,050g | Sizes – XS-XXL | Choice of colours – 2 | Materials – Polyamide, Polyester

Reasons to buy: Machine washable | Available in a wide range of sizes from S to XXL | Fully taped seams. Reasons to avoid: The large sizing prioritises width over height.

The Helly Hansen Ægir Race Jacket is the outcome of extensive work with professional racing teams who know what works best in extreme conditions, including Thomas Colville, Pip Hare and Joan Mulloy.

The result is a very high specification full-length offshore jacket that’s still surprisingly lightweight, streamlined and comfortable to wear.

A big element of the comfort factor is down to the choice of three-layer fabric that doesn’t need a lining.

The new four-layer fabric is supple and doesn’t noticeably restrict movement. Yet it offers a very high level of both waterproofing and breathability. It’s made of 50 per cent recycled content and uses a PFC free durable water repellent treatment.

Gill OS1 Ocean Smock

Specifications: Weight – Undisclosed | Sizes – XS-XXL | Choice of colours – 2 | Materials – Nylon, Polyester

Reasons to buy: Ocean height collar with a concealed, wrap-around face guard | Shackle tool and PLB attachment point | Deep cargo pockets with secure closure and hand warmer pockets behind. Reasons to avoid: The premium features mean a premium price.

Did you know that smocks work much better than jackets for really serious work? Granted, they are not as easy to put on or take off, but the neck seal and lack of a front zip means they are intrinsically far more waterproof.

An additional advantage is that, unlike a big and heavy jacket, they don’t restrict movement which is a plus if you need to wear it while doing repair work on your yacht. The Gill’s OS1 also has all the elements you would expect in a serious ocean specification jacket.

Details such as the high-lined collar, first-class hood, hand warmer pockets and reinforced bottom section make it stand out from others on this list. It also benefits from neoprene cuff and waist seals to keep the water out in testing conditions.

Helly Hansen Skagen Offshore Jacket

Specifications: Weight – 1200g | Sizes – S-XXL | Choice of colours – 4 | Materials – Polyamide, Polyester

Reasons to buy: High fleece lined collar with storm flap | Competitively priced offshore option | Great reinforcement Reasons to avoid: Quite bulky so limits manoeuvrability

The Helly Hansen Skagen Offshore Jacket is part of the Norwegian company’s mid-level ‘Performance’ range and is competitively priced. Yet it shares ergonomics and features with the brand’s top specification Ægir collection that sells for two or three times the price.

The high fleece lined collar includes an effective storm flap with fleece fabric under the chin that maximises comfort and minimises chafe.

There’s also a two-way main zip, with Velcro fastened storm flap, plus plenty of reinforcement in high wear areas around the elbows and lower back.

Despite the obvious bulk of the Helly Hansen Skagen Offshore Jacket, articulated arms and shoulders facilitate ease of movement.

The high visibility hood proved effective and for night sailing there are six strips of retro-reflective tape. This is a feature that’s all too often lacking in other kit that’s described as being suitable for offshore use.

Detailing includes a big and obvious hanging loop. This may sound like a small point, but can make a big difference when coming off watch in the early hours of the morning on a boat that’s bouncing around in a big sea. On a late autumn day in the English Channel, with gusts the wrong side of 30 knots, this jacket was very cosy to wear. And the extent to which it eliminates wind chill is impressive at the price.

What makes a good sailing jacket?

My Gill OS1 sailing jacket, for instance, is great for cold and properly wet night watches , but the extra-high collar can feel claustrophobic in lesser conditions. For many people, it’s therefore a better option to start with an inshore or coastal sailing jacket and then add a high-spec offshore sailing jacket when it’s needed.

There are two key exceptions to this. Firstly, those who race offshore , where the weight and bulk of kit needs to be kept to a minimum. Equally, delivery crew will often be at sea in conditions that keep all but a handful of cruising yachts in port.

How to choose the best sailing jacket

How can you identify the best sailing jackets? Well, it’s not as simple as you might think. All have some features in common, including articulated arms for ease of movement, reinforcement in the lower back panel, handwarmer pockets, a quick-dry fabric-lined collar and effective cuff seals.

All the important brands have nailed the attention to detail at the design stage to ensure all the elements to work well while out at sea.

One important aspect that’s not often fully understood is the differences in fabric types. Less expensive garments usually employ a two-layer outer material, which requires a separate inner lining. This can make the sailing jacket more awkward to put on and take off and adds to the bulk in your kit bag.

Three-layer fabrics don’t need an inner lining and from a comfort perspective are therefore preferable to two-layer options. They also tend to dry a lot faster. This puts to bed the old idea that a heavy sailing jacket automatically offers better protection.

What To Consider When Buying A Sailing Jacket

A good sailing jacket has 5 key attributes that make it well-suited for use on the water.

The 5 most important attributes to consider when buying a sailing jacket are:

• Waterproof and breathable material : A good sailing jacket should be made of material that is both waterproof and breathable. This will help keep you dry and comfortable in wet conditions while also allowing moisture to escape from the jacket, preventing you from getting too hot and sweaty
• Hood : A hood is essential for protecting your head from the wind and rain when sailing. Look for a sailing jacket with a hood that can be adjusted for a snug fit and that has a peak to help keep the rain out of your face
• Pockets : Sailing jackets should have plenty of pockets for storing items. Look for jackets with pockets that are easily accessible and that have secure closures to prevent items from falling out or from seawater or rainwater getting in
• Comfort and mobility : A sailing jacket should be comfortable to wear, even for extended periods of time and should allow for a full range of movement so you can move freely while sailing
• Visibility : A good sailing jacket should help you stay visible on the water. Look for jackets with reflective details or bright colors that will make you more visible to other boats

The Ultimate Buying Guide to the Best Sailing Jackets

Sailing requires a special type of wardrobe to ensure you survive the open water unscathed. Regular clothes will get soaked and worn out, so it’s important that you invest in decent sailing apparel that will keep you protected and comfortable in every weather condition. Sailing boots and water-resistant watches are just some of the things you might need, but the number one item on anyone’s apparel list should be a sailing jacket. 

Why You Need a Sailing Jacket

There are a number of reasons why somebody would need a sailing jacket. Unsure if you fall into one of those categories? Allow us to clear some things up for you. Here are some reasons why a sailing jacket might be essential for you.

You spend a lot of time in coastal areas

Basically, the closer you are to the coast, the more likely you’ll need a sailing jacket. The weather can be unpredictable in these regions, so you always want to have a good, warm (not to mention waterproof) jacket available for any trip outdoors.

You spend time at sea

This goes without saying. The most obvious person who needs a sailing jacket is somebody who works on a boat or enjoys taking their own private boat out on the water on a regular basis. When you’re on the water, you can face very turbulent weather. A sailing jacket should be the first line of defense against the elements. 

You want something waterproof

Sailing jackets are multi-purpose. In fact, they can double as both your everyday coat and are reliable and waterproof for a variety of occasions. You can even wear a sailing jacket when you go skiing, provided it’s sufficiently warm and waterproof.

Things to Consider Before Buying a Sailing Jacket

Be sure to consider the following advice before you purchase your next sailing jacket. These considerations will make your shopping experience easier, and may even help you save some money in the process.

No matter the weather conditions, there will be a sailing jacket that is perfectly designed to match. The jacket you choose depends on where you plan on sailing. For example, coastal jackets are light and give the least coverage, usually intended for mild weather. 

Offshore jackets are a little warmer than the coast alternatives, designed for colder, wetter, and harsher conditions. Depending on the time of the year, you may need to break out your offshore jacket while you’re still on the mainland because of the temperamental nature of the weather in these areas.

Dinghy sailing jackets are aimed at sailors in smaller boats who need to make rapid flexible movements. These jackets are lightweight and dry quickly. Finally, foul weather gear is designed for the harshest conditions. If you sail regularly, it may be a good idea to have a foul weather jacket on your boat in case of a storm. Overall, all sailing jackets are waterproof jackets , but it’s a matter of choosing the right one for your lifestyle and activities. 

You want to ensure the sailing jacket has enough pockets to carry your belongings. You will want inner pockets for your valuables such as your wallet and phone. Outer pockets and fleece-lined pockets are essential for warming your hands. If you like the design of the jacket but feel it doesn’t have enough pockets, you can always buy an inner fleece with pockets to wear underneath, although this is a lot less convenient.

Many sailing jackets use polyester fleece lining to draw moisture away from the skin. Sailing is vigorous work and you are bound to sweat at some point. The jacket’s outer layer is water-resistant, keeping the sailor dry. Most jackets have multiple layers. It would be unwise to buy a sailing jacket without a fleece lining. This would lead to the sailor feeling cold and wet despite the water-resistant outer layer. 

You can always buy base layers separately to stay warm and reduce sweat.

Hoods may seem a bit cumbersome, as they can affect your peripheral vision. You can easily solve this problem by choosing a jacket with adjustable hood closures. Hoods are important when staying dry and comfortable. They also offer some protection from the wind and sea spray. Some hoods come with reflective tape so that you can easily be seen in the water should you fall overboard. Choosing a jacket with a foldaway hood allows you to enjoy the sun on occasion.

Color and style

There are plenty of new and stylish designs to choose from, with newer models making the most practical of jackets look like something you could wear on a night out. If you prefer a minimal style, there are plenty of jackets in black and navy that won’t make you stand out. But if you want to stand out for safety’s sake, a colorful jacket might do you good. 

Sailing Jacket Price Range

Sailing jackets can cost anywhere between $150 and $1300. This depends on the brand and the materials. Foul weather sailing jackets will cost more than a coastal jacket. 

Most sailing jackets will offer ample protection from the elements, but the price increases when you start factoring in specific design details, such as fleece linings and extra pockets.

People Also Asked

Some of the most popular brand names for men’s sailing jackets include Musto, Helly Hansen, Gill Marine, Henri Lloyd, and Hudson Wight. These names usually assure quality, but you should always check out a jacket’s specifications and see whether it is right for you.

Yes, you can. Foul weather jackets are designed for colder climates, and the layers mean you will barely feel any snow on your torso or midriff. That being said, we would strongly advise that you invest in a good set of base layers to go underneath your outfit if you plan on wearing a sailing jacket on your next skiing trip.

After some time, the DWR finish applied to your sailing jacket will eventually start to wear off. DWR is the chemical treatment that prevents your sailing jacket from absorbing moisture. Luckily, you can find these treatments at any outdoor retail store. Re-proof the jacket is a relatively straightforward process that you can do yourself at home. This should be done three or four times a year depending on how often you wear the jacket.

Some sailing jackets are unisex - such as our recommended Unisex PRO Neoprene Jacket Wetsuit Hoody - but this is not typical of the majority. In fact, most high-end sailing jackets will have been designed for a specific gender. This is because the fit of a sailing jacket plays a big part in both performance and durability. The jacket should fit comfortably on your body.
