The Ultimate Guide To Musto Waterproof Jackets
Musto has long been renowned for producing some of the most high-performance and durable waterproof jackets on the market. Their classic bestsellers, such as the Musto BR1 Sardinia Jacket and the Musto Snug Jacket, have remained popular choices for their exceptional weatherproofing and breathability.
As we head into 2024, their latest collection of Musto waterproof jackets continues to raise the bar when it comes to keeping you dry and comfortable, no matter the weather conditions. From the most protective waterproof technology to what features you need to look for, we’ve got everything you need to know right here.
Musto’s Waterproof Technology
Musto’s waterproof coats feature advanced technologies that set the brand apart with their unparalleled protection and comfort. All Musto waterproof jackets have a thin, membrane with microscopic pores that allow water vapour to pass through while blocking liquid water. This breathable design is further enhanced by these features:
Durable Water Repellent (DWR) Coating
Durable Water Repellent (DWR) technology is a polymer coating added to outerwear to provide water-resistant protection. The technology repels water, causing it to bead on a garment’s surface. This makes it roll off the surface rather than soak into the fabric.
Fully Taped Seams
To make something truly impermeable to water, holes need to be eliminated. This means waterproof garments have to be made in a way that doesn’t involve needle stitching. Seam taping is an exceptionally effective method of making a technical piece of outerwear watertight.
Musto’s BR1 and BR2 Technology
Musto BR1 Jackets deliver extra protection in persistent downpours. It acts as a reliable outer or mid layer to shield you against unpredictable weather, whilst still offering excellent breathability. Musto BR2 garments go a step further and are constructed to keep you dry and comfortable during prolonged torrential rain. However, both Musto BR1 and BR2 jackets are 100% waterproof, have fully taped seams, are lightweight and windproof.
2-Layer Construction
This is where a fully waterproof outer shell is bonded to a waterproof and breathable membrane. This is usually with a hanging inner lining which prevents the waterproof layer from deteriorating; this protective outer fabric acts as a 2-way barrier to both movement and sweat. It’s also the lightest form of construction, where low weight or packability is crucial.
