Fowlie jackets
I'm a professional captain of a 70 foot carbon sailing yacht. I tend to live in my fowlies around this time of the year but my musto mpx jacket is getting a bit tired after 10 years of heavy use, Velcro is failing, it gets a bit heavy in a deluge, etc. What jackets are you using for offshore racing and deliveries?
I'm looking at zhik's offerings as they seem pretty reasonably priced at $820 for the ofs800. I could go back to MPX but I feel like musto has fallen off in terms of quality recently. I would love a north sails jacket but it's a bit hard to justify a 1200usd jacket.
