The Newport Coastal Jacket is fully featured for sailing with innovative technologies and detailing alongside a color-blocked design inspired by the iconic 1990s marine aesthetic.
The jacket’s name is synonymous with the town, Newport, Rhode Island. Renowned for world class sailing, the City-by-the-Sea will play host to the 4th stopover of The Ocean Race 2023.
*Currently available in North America. Coming soon to Europe.
Developed together with coastal sailing professionals, the jacket provides the highest level of waterproof/breathable protection thanks to HELLY TECH® Professional construction. With a PFC-free durable water repellent treatment and 100% recycled, solution-dyed mesh lining, the Newport Coastal Jacket uses responsible materials.
Also incorporated is a minimum of 50% recycled content, including tough and durable Ocean Bound recycled material. Sourced from abandoned, lost, or discarded fishing buoys, which would otherwise persist as waste in the ocean, Ocean Bound recycled material is repurposed into the highest quantity and quality of durable nylon possible.
Additional features of the jacket include a high collar for weatherproof protection, SOLAS-rated reflectors for visibility and safety, articulated sleeves for optimal mobility, an adjustable and packable hi-vis hood, six gear pockets, and an adjustable hem and cuffs.
"As we continue to evolve our sailing collection, we’re looking for innovative solutions to provide more responsible gear that doesn’t compromise on function or performance. The new Newport Coastal Jacket does just that – a responsibly-designed, fully featured sailing jacket with a classic look that offers the highest level of protection for both professionals and sailing enthusiasts.”
— Øyvind Vedvik, Category Managing Director for Sailing
