Thanks for that , just had a quick look , it's the graphite colour I like .

I did have a Musto Offshore suit yrs back when I was doing the EAORA series but it has long since expired ( I got bigger)
Now I think for w/e use and the sort of sailing I do it's hard to justify the expense of Musto , Gill looked good when I visited at a boat show .

I find a thermal long sleeved vest with 2 thermal short sleeves over the top a very useful base layer. Then a proper fleece, then wind proof thin breathable jacket then foulies. Keeps me warm(ish)

I agree with Jimi, but would add Longjohns to the mix. With a good fleece any longish jacket that keeps out the rain and wind will do. But the cheaper end of the sailing jacket market the zips may last more than one crossing before they crust up as different metals electrolyse. I also always wear a woollen scarf which seems to have a special ability to keep the cold out.

I recently bought a proper sailing jacket [Ocean Pacific] from Sports Direct for £11.00 on special in a very popular size [XL] and as I am not sailing in this weather have been using it for hill walking in the snow as it is currently the warmest thing I have got because of its high collar that covers the ears.
