Product Information
Full details
The North Sails Storm Sailor Jacket is designed for adult men who require a reliable, technical layer for coastal activities or wet-weather conditions. Combining modern aesthetics with performance-focused materials, this jacket provides essential wind and water-repellent protection while maintaining breathability through its integrated mesh lining. While it is an exceptional piece for transitional weather and light marine exposure, it is intended as a water-repellent shell rather than a heavy-duty offshore foul-weather suit.

FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
The jacket is water-repellent, designed to protect against light rain and sea spray, but it is not intended for use in heavy downpours or submerged conditions.
Can I wear this for offshore sailing?
This jacket is best suited for coastal and recreational sailing; it lacks the extreme waterproofing and storm-hood features required for offshore or ocean-crossing gear.
What is the best way to wash this jacket?
Wash in cold water on a delicate cycle, using a mild soap. Ensure all zippers are closed and do not tumble dry.
Does it have a hood?
The Storm Sailor Jacket design focuses on a sleek, streamlined profile without a hood.
How should I choose the right size?
This model is in XXL. We recommend checking the size guide to ensure the fit allows for comfortable layering underneath.
Is the material stretchy?
The jacket uses a durable polyester construction, which provides a structured feel rather than a high-stretch performance fit.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the fabric
The water-repellent finish (DWR) may have worn off. Apply a wash-in or spray-on DWR revitalizing treatment designed for polyester softshells.
Zipper feels stiff or hard to operate
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track. If it remains stiff, apply a light coat of silicone-based zipper lubricant.
Pros and Cons

- Effectively repels light water and spray
- Breathable mesh lining for comfort

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the water-repellent properties of the polyester fabric, it is important to follow proper care instructions. Always close all waterproof zippers before washing to prevent damage. Machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle using a mild technical detergent suitable for synthetic outdoor gear; avoid heavy fabric softeners which can degrade the water-repellent coating. Hang dry the jacket in a shaded area to preserve the integrity of the trims and material. Because this jacket fits in the XXL size range, consider layering it with a mid-weight fleece if using it in colder, late-season coastal conditions.
