Sailing in all weather conditions requires reliable and high-performance gear, and an offshore sailing jacket is essential to ensure comfort and safety at sea. SAILIZ unveils its
Why is it essential to set sail with a good offshore sailing jacket?
Whether you’re heading out for a day trip or a longer crossing, a good offshore sailing jacket is a key element for comfort and safety at sea. Wind, spray, and rain can quickly turn a pleasant sail into an unpleasant experience if you’re not properly protected. A well-designed sailing jacket not only keeps you dry but also protects you from the cold, wind, and sometimes unpredictable conditions at sea.
Humidity is a key factor that can affect concentration and performance on board. Having a waterproof and breathable offshore jacket prevents you from getting soaked and cooling down too quickly. Furthermore, a well-cut offshore jacket ensures optimal freedom of movement, which is essential when you need to maneuver quickly on deck. In short, choosing the right offshore sailing jacket ensures a more comfortable and safer sailing experience.

Key criteria for choosing your offshore sailing jacket
Not all sailing jackets are created equal, and it’s essential to know what criteria to base your choice on. Here are the essential elements to consider:
- Waterproofing: The offshore jacket must be completely waterproof to protect against spray and rain. Check the fabric, heat-sealed seams, and waterproof closures.
- Breathability: A good fabric must wick away perspiration to avoid the ‘sauna effect’ under the jacket.
- Fit and comfort: Freedom of movement is essential, so opt for an ergonomic jacket that fits your body shape.
- Practical details: Waterproof pockets, adjustable hood, protective collar, adjustable cuffs… All these elements improve the comfort and functionality of the offshore jacket.
- Visibility: A brightly colored jacket or one with reflective elements allows you to be better spotted in bad weather.
Sailing jacket or smock: what’s the difference?
Many hesitate between a sailing jacket and a smock, two pieces of gear that seem similar but have very distinct uses.
The offshore sailing jacket is generally more technical and features a front closure that allows it to be put on and taken off easily. It is often equipped with a high collar, a hood, multiple pockets, and adjustments at the wrists and waist. It is ideal for long voyages and changing conditions where quick adaptation is important.
The smock, on the other hand, is a simpler garment, often used for dinghy sailing or more athletic activities. It does not have a central closure but is pulled over the head, which ensures better waterproofing against water ingress. It is more minimalist, with few pockets and a more streamlined design.
The choice between a jacket and a smock therefore depends on the type of sailing and the level of protection sought. For more comfortable and versatile sailing, the offshore sailing jacket remains the most suitable choice.
