This incredible new collection features a bold and vibrant colour palette paired with smart and sophisticated cuts to offer a stylish and practical selection that no wardrobe should be without.
Inspired by the sea, designed for the city…
Musto’s active heritage is stitched in to every piece of this beautiful new collection; the ‘Breathable Collection’ is heavily inspired by Sailing in all its glory, featuring maritime blues, greens and platinum prominently across the deck along with ingrained wet weather protection as standard.

Plus, under arm and elbow articulation allows for ease of movement when needed. Clearly inspired by the sea, nevertheless the sleek, simple and stylish design means that the fantastic Musto LPX jacket is just as at home in the city.
The women’s Musto Breathable Sardinia jacket follows suit with its PU coated rip stop fabric offering full waterproof and breathable protection, fully taped seams and its mesh lining for ease of donning and speed of drying.
