The Reference Gore Tex Jacket is developed for demanding inshore sailing and constructed with GORE-TEX® Performance Technology. The 3-layer construction combines a durable 80 denier nylon face fabric with a nylon tricot backer. Waterproof, windproof and highly breathable, the jacket is engineered to provide reliable protection in changing conditions at sea.

The lower back is reinforced with ergonomically positioned, laser-cut panels for increased durability in a high-wear area without restricting freedom of movement. Internally, Bemis® Exoflex seam reinforcement creates a clean, lightweight construction with reduced bulk.

At the front, a two-way YKK® VT10 AquaGuard zipper features corrosion-resistant sliders and pullers designed for marine environments. A wide internal storm flap with welded drainage channels helps direct water away and limit water ingress.

The high collar is lined with Bemis® Luxe Touch, a soft, non-absorbent material that enhances comfort during long days at sea. A foldable hood is integrated into the collar and constructed with a welded brim and storm cap that wraps around the forehead for increased protection in exposed conditions. Reflective detailing enhances visibility in low-light conditions.

The hood is adjusted with a Cohaesive® system for quick, one-handed adjustment, even while wearing gloves. An integrated Cohaesive® adjustment at the bottom hem allows the fit to be refined for a closer seal against wind and water.

Two chest pockets and two hand pockets with concealed YKK® VT10 AquaGuard zippers provide easily accessible storage. An internal TECHSTEEL VECTRAN® pocket provides protected storage for sensitive equipment.

The sleeves are constructed with waterproof, laminated Super Stretch inner cuffs that create a close seal around the wrists without restricting mobility. The inner cuffs are secured with Velcro adjustment, while adjustable outer cuffs provide an additional barrier against water.

A wide external hanging loop at the back of the neck allows the jacket to be easily hung after use. Reflective molded block logos on the sleeves, together with reflective Sail Racing and GORE-TEX® logos, complete the construction and enhance visibility in low-light conditions.
