Musto’s HPX fabric, used in the HPX garments, features the GORE-TEX® Ocean Technology® membrane and is universally recognised as the most durably waterproof and breathable fabric available in the world today, ideal for long ocean or offshore cruising and racing.
The fabric allows moisture vapour from inside the suit to “breathe” out, whilst stopping any sea or rainwater getting in. This is achieved by having microscopic holes in the membrane, large enough to let water vapour out, but much too small to let water droplets in.
Incorporated into the HPX Jacket and Smock is Stretch HPX fabric which is exclusive to Musto. Stretch HPX uses a
stretch GORE-TEX® Ocean Technology membrane in a three layer laminated fabric. This revolutionary fabric has an elasticity of 30%. The result is the least restrictive, most breathable fabric for foul weather gear available.
