For Frightful Weather

Who doesn’t remember getting their first set of foul-weather gear as a kid? Who doesn’t feel that same thrill when they put on a new set of kit to this day? For those who want to make the sailors on their list truly happy, it would be hard to beat Musto’s new BR2 Offshore jackets and bibs. Comprising a durable outer shell and breathable inner membrane with a microporous coating for additional performance, these two-layer garments are tough, effective and stylish. Super-high padded collars, sturdy wrist and ankle seals, a comfortable adjustable hood and sturdy well-engineered suspenders on the bibs complete this outstanding package. Better still, the BR2 offshore line is also available in women’s sizes, so the boys aren’t the only ones who get to feel cozy offshore when the weather gets frightful.

From $275.
