Design & Use

Other sailing apparel brands have tried to lay claim to the “Lightest Performance Sailing Jacket” crown, but ever since we introduced it in 2007, the Microburst jacket has been the titleholder, hands down. The jacket weighs less than 12 oz. (.75 lbs., or 340 g for metric system fans), and with it’s 2.5-layer VMG® waterproof/breathable laminate, it will keep you dry and comfortable in pretty nasty conditions. Hard to believe, we know – we were skeptical at first, too, but the jacket’s made believers out of us as well as a legion of Microburst fans around the country.

Microburst: Designed for warm weather sailing and boating. Lightweight and highly breathable yet waterproof in almost all conditions, and packable so you can stuff it into any bag or lazarette. The hood is different on the men’s and women’s jackets – that’s on purpose and geared to deliver against what each asked us for: men wanted easy stowage and a low profile while women wanted a full hood that offers great coverage. The pants are designed without chafe patches to keep them light and packable, so they’re great for situations where wind and water resistance are key though not great for non-skid decks.
