15 years’ product R&D 09/01/2023 Save article Musto will launch an all new HPX collection in February 2023. SHOW FULLSCREEN Musto’s new HPX collection is the result of three years’ R&D The new ‘head-to-toe’ collection has taken three years of research and innovation, building on 15 years of product R&D. The recycled face fabric of the outer-layers features Bluesign approved fabric manufactured using approved chemicals, and produced in a resource-conserving way, with reduced impact on people and the environment. The range has been tested by Musto ambassadors including 11th Hour Racing Team, Sam Davies, Jérémie Beyou, Clarisse Crémer, and by the Clipper Race and developed using feedback from the sailors. The new fabrics have a slightly finer yarn than previously with a very dense weave. SHOW FULLSCREEN Musto has used Bluesign approved fabric in its new collection The tight weave means the little divots on the surface of the fabric, where water can sit, are much shallower than before and the fabrics now wet out more slowly and are less reliant on the DWR (durable water repellant) coating. There is also a new and more durable Gore-Tex breathable membrane that retains the high level of breathability and waterproofing of the previous version. The HPX Collection includes a base layer top and trouser, a mid-layer jacket and salopettes, an outer-layer smock, jacket and trouser (the latter in men and women’s styles), a drysuit, gloves, and waterproof socks. Cordura reinforcement on the knees and seat of trousers and drysuits together with the back of the smocks and jackets, provides added durability. Topics ClothingHPXMustosailing clothing
