Clothing manufacturer Guy Cotten is launching a new sailing jacket. Until now, the line consisted of only one model, the Kara jacket. Available as a jacket, a pea coat, and paired with overalls, this offshore-ready ensemble is made from Dremtech+ fabric, known for its durability and resistance to wear and tear. However, users have criticized the lack of flexibility, which is partly due to this very quality of the fabric.
A design made with a new fabric
Building on these insights, the Breton manufacturer is launching the RP duty jacket. This model features the same cut as the Kara, but is made from a fabric called Dremlight. This fabric is lighter?194 g/m² compared to 294 g/m² for Dremtech+?which contributes to the jacket?s lightweight feel.
Dremlight is a breathable, high-performance, and flexible 3-layer fabric. The fabric's breathability effectively reduces the amount of moisture inside the garment.
A flattering cut
While the jacket?s cut is identical?featuring a very snug, fleece-lined collar and a large neon yellow hood?the RP jacket has a simplified design. It does not have hand-warming pockets, but only patch ?cargo? pockets on the front. In terms of safety, this jacket features reflective strips and?a clever little detail?a ring for clipping on a motorboat?s circuit breaker.
An outfit for a cruise
This jacket is paired with overalls made from the same material. The straps are elastic and lined with fabric for added comfort. They are adjustable with Velcro tabs.
According to Guy Cotten's product lineup, the RP jacket is designed for cruising, while the Kara is intended more for the open sea. And while the Kara jacket is only available in black, the RP set is only available in red.
