Musto appoints new US retail partner

07/12/2009

Specialist UK clothing brand Musto has chosen San Diego-based Point Loma Outfitting to be its eighth retail partner in the US.

The retailer has said it will focus on Musto’s four core collections for the sailing industry: The Musto HPX, Musto MPX, Musto LPX and the Musto Evolution.

The HPX collection includes the Ocean Jacket, Ocean Smock, Ocean Trousers and, for more difficult environments, the Ocean Dry Suit. Musto supplied Puma Volvo Ocean Racing Team with the Musto HPX line of foul weather gear during the Volvo Ocean Race this past year.

The MPX line still is suited to offshore sailing yet is lighter in weight than the HPX series. It is designed for ocean sailing and offers a broader selection in terms of colours and even offers a women's MPX jacket and matching MPX trousers.

The LPX series is lightweight and designed for more inshore sailing. It uses Gore-Tex Paclite Shell material providing maximum protection from the elements.

The Evolution line has clothing designs for both men and women. The line offers foul weather jackets and pant combinations as well as on shore clothing for the entire crew.
