Stay dry and protected with Helly Hansen's men's sailing jackets
Since 1877, we've logged countless nautical miles and meticulously crafted sailing gear
to withstand whatever weather
conditions you may face. Today, our designs are the result of close collaboration with professionals, including racing teams, solo adventurers, and coastal
workers.
One of the most important features across our sailing jackets are our proprietary HELLY TECH® Professional, Performance, and Protection technologies.
These waterproof, windproof, and breathable layers keep you dry and comfortable while sailing. Plus, our jackets also have fully sealed seams to prevent sea
spray and rain from entering your gear.
For a layer of warmth in chilly conditions, look to our insulated midlayer sailing jackets. Across our styles, you’ll see synthetic blowable insulation or fleece
which trap heat. In milder weather, you can also wear these midlayers as outer layers.
Find the best men's sailing jacket for you
Choosing the right sailing jacket is an essential part of preparing for adventures on the water, whether you're taking an offshore
excursion, coastal day sailing, inshore cruising, or competitive racing. Each type of sailing, along with varying weather conditions, demands specific features
in a jacket.
Offshore sailing jackets are designed for longer voyages and offer durability and waterproof protection against the harshest elements. Coastal and inshore sailing
jackets are typically lighter weight, perfect for shorter trips closer to shore. Racing gear is generally streamlined and lightweight, designed for aerodynamic
performance when it counts most.
Other features to consider include:
Waterproofness and breathability: On deck, you can expect to be hit with water spray, rain, or both. A waterproof and breathable jacket, like those made with
our HELLY TECH® technologies, keeps water out while also letting sweat vapor escape.
Fit and adjustability: While you don’t want your jacket to be too loose, your outer layer jacket should have room for layering underneath. Also consider adjustable
elements, such as cuffs you can tighten for a closer seal and packable hoods to stow away when the skies clear.
Freedom of movement: You need to be ready to leap into action, both on and off deck. Articulated sleeves allow you to move freely without compromising mobility,
even if you’re wearing a life jacket. Both our sailing pants and jackets are designed for freedom of movement.
Visibility features: Neon details and reflective elements that are strategically placed offer high visibility to others on deck and on other vessels.
