Clipper Race partners with Musto to face planet’s toughest challenge

By collaborating with the Clipper Race, the industry-leading British clothing brand will further enhance its global reach, beyond the 40 countries in which its apparel is already sold.

The new partnership marks a transformation for the sailing event as it will be swapping its familiar red kit for a new striking gold look. Clipper Race crew will be kitted out with the essential technical clothing they need to protect them against the elements. During the last edition of the race, participants battled 'phenomenal sea states' with 14-metre-high waves, hurricane force winds, boat speeds up to 35 knots (equivalent to 40 mph), extreme heat and freezing conditions.

Race Crew Kit includes the HPX Gore-Tex Pro Series Smock and Salopettes, which are extremely waterproof, breathable and highly durable - these lines have been tested to their absolute limits in the Southern Ocean and engineered for the wettest environments.
