Musto has launched a new collection of waterproof bags and luggage, purpose-built for sailors, adventurers, and travellers who demand gear that can handle whatever the elements throw at it.
In the biggest revamp of their bags and luggage, the eight-piece range spans compact daypacks through to expedition-grade wheeled luggage. Combining Musto’s decades of maritime engineering expertise with modern travel functionality, tried and tested by Musto ambassadors who demand their kit stays dry and safe.
Adam May, Olympic Chief Technical Officer, British Sailing Team, put the new Musto 40L Waterproof Backpack through its paces on and off the water: “The best waterproof bag I’ve used, and I’ve gone through a few! Just the right size for a day on the water coaching, comfortable to wear, reassuring robust construction, and a very satisfying external zip pouch.”
The luggage and bags are designed to perform both on the water and onshore, and last for the long haul – tested against the demanding conditions of offshore sailing and built to the standards that have made Musto the trusted choice of competitive sailors worldwide.
“Whether you’re packing for a weekend regatta or a month-long offshore passage, your gear should be the last thing you worry about,” said Musto Marketing Director, Nick Houchin. “Sailors have high standards when it comes to their kit, and our new eight-piece luggage collection is no exception. This collection has been designed from the inside out and tested rigorously – from weekend racers loading the car on a Friday night to offshore crews preparing for a Southern Ocean passage. We’ve spent decades building clothing that performs in the harshest conditions the ocean can deliver, and we applied exactly the same thinking here.”
Backpacks:
The new backpacks come in two sizes – the 20L Backpack and the 40L Waterproof Backpack. The smaller 20L backpack is the ideal companion for everyday use and short trips. The water-resistant backpack is built with practicality at its core. An internal laptop sleeve ensures tech stays protected, while dedicated organisational pockets keep kit accessible and neatly stored. Lightweight and versatile, it transitions seamlessly from the marina to the high street.
The larger 40L Waterproof Backpack is built to withstand total immersion conditions, delivering storm-proof protection through an innovative bonded construction that eliminates stitching and zips and potential ingress points. A TPU-backed (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) nylon shell and welded seams lock out even the heaviest spray and downpours, while padded shoulder and back straps ensure carrying comfort on long haul journeys.
Duffel Bags & Carryall:
The new Musto Water Resistant Duffel Bags come in three sizes: 30L designed for weekend breaks and short-overnight passages; 50L for week-long sailing trips and international adventures, balancing capacity with portability; and, finally, the 65L for longer passages and extended trips ashore, providing serious capacity in a tough, durable package.
All the bags offer a large U-shaped opening that provides easy access to the main compartment, while adaptive end pockets include a dedicated space to separate used footwear or wet kit from clean clothing. An internal mesh pocket promotes organisation whilst extra gear can be added to the additional external daisy chain webbing on the outside of the bag. The YKK® waterproof zippers and Duraflex hardware add versatility and durability in all weather. Carrying options include packable backpack straps with 3D mesh padding, sturdy webbing handles and a top carry handle for overhead stowage. The duffel bags come packed into a lightweight carry bag for easy, condensed storage when not in use.
The new 65L Waterproof Carryall has a roll-top closure, compression straps and welded seams for complete waterproof protection – ideal for offshore and land-based adventures. Designed to carry everything from foul-weather gear to shore-going kit, its large-format main compartment handles bulky layers with ease.
Wheeled Bags:
The Musto 40L Wheeled Backpack is the flagship crossover piece in the new range, seamlessly converting between rolling luggage and carry-on backpack. Concealable padded shoulder straps allow the bag to travel on wheels when surfaces permit, then transform instantly into a comfortable pack for navigating pontoons or public transport.
The largest piece in the range and the ultimate hold luggage for sailing expeditions, the 80L Wheeled Bag engineered for maximum capacity without sacrificing mobility. Designed to accommodate a full racing kit – including offshore jackets, thermals, boots and personal equipment – its robust wheel system handles the tough surfaces of marinas, boatyards and race venues. A handy laptop sleeve in the front pocket allows for easy access on the move.
