Stay warm and dry, whether hauling upwind, weathering stormy seas, or being at sea on a long night watch. Our rugged, comfortable foul weather gear is designed specifically for coastal cruising and racing.

100% waterproof and breathable, made of 100% Nylon with a microporous coating and a hydrophilic top coat that draws moisture away from the body, while keeping cold seawater out.

Unlined to speed up dry time and to reduce interlayer binding, and articulated and contoured to fit you well and reduce windage to allow freedom of movement, this gear is integral to your coastal adventures.

The jacket has an articulated and adjustable hood and hood pod, with a 6-1/4" back collar height and micro-fleece lining to keep you toasty and dry.

Adjustable closure systems for the hood, collar, cuffs and waistband are form-fitting and are reinforced at the seams to reduce wear.

Designed for coastal sailing, the nylon West Marine Navigator jacket and bibbed trousers are waterproof, windproof, and breathable.

The jacket has articulated arms for easy moving and is form-fitting to reduce windage. It is unlined, but according to the maker, that was intentional so dry times would be shorter.

The high-visibility, fluorescent hood has a brim, reflective patch, and an easy-adjust shock cord drawstring, but the peak lacks rigidity. The brushed-fleece collar is relatively tall, with the back reaching over 6 inches. A storm flap seals the neck.

The jacket is fitted with a YKK front zipper guarded by a flap for increased protection against the elements. There are two large cargo pockets with flaps and Velcro tab closures, two zippered hand-warmer pockets lined with fleece, and an interior zippered pocket. A drawstring at the waist adjusts easily and helps reduce windage.

The sleeves are outfitted with adjustable Dartex internal storm cuffs. The internal seals are secured by Velcro straps on the outside of the sleeves; these tended to loosen during field tests.

Velcro tabs on the Navigator jacket’s front zipper guard and cuffs.

Reflective patches on the hood and shoulders enhance safety, as does the reflective piping along the sleeves and on the back of the jacket.

The Navigator bibs are heavily stitched. The seat and knees are reinforced with 500D Cordura fabric to fight abrasion. The trousers held up well during the abrasion test.

Wide, elasticized shoulder straps ensure a comfortable fit and are easy to adjust by loosening and refastening the Velcro ends. There are no buckles or other closures to adjust.

The Navigator kit is an ideal solution for the sailor planning to cruise the coast in any weather.
