Musto, the world's leading performance sailing brand, today announces a new partnership with the Emirates Great Britain SailGP Team (Emirates GBR), becoming Official Technical Clothing Partner to the reigning SailGP Champions.
The collaboration brings together two British powerhouses united by a shared pursuit of performance without compromise, where marginal gains, innovation, and engineering excellence make the difference at the highest level of the sport.
The Emirates Great Britain SailGP Team's technical sailing kit will feature Musto's re-engineered LPX collection, powered by GORE-TEX ePE technology. Designed for elite performance, the LPX range delivers exceptional waterproof protection, breathability, and freedom of movement, enabling athletes to operate at full intensity in the most challenging conditions. Gore-Tex, Musto's waterproof fabric partner for over 30 years, has developed a new type of membrane free from PFAS chemicals, called ePE. ePE is not only more sustainable, it is durable and lighter whilst remaining 100% waterproof. The new Musto LPX Gore-Tex jacket, smock and salopette all utilise the new ePE technology.
"At the core of our new multi-year partnership is a relentless focus on performance," said Musto Marketing Director, Nick Houchin. "Working closely with the Emirates Great Britain SailGP Team, Musto will deliver technically advanced on-water and shore-based apparel engineered to meet the extreme physical and environmental demands of SailGP racing."
Complementing the on-water kit, the team's technical shore wear will come from Musto's EVO collection, including the new EVO Crew Waterproof Jacket, built with Musto's proprietary Ocean Tech™ fabric standard. The EVO range blends modern design with technical durability, providing reliable protection and comfort for long days on and off the water.
The partnership is further strengthened by long-standing relationships between Musto and key athletes within the Emirates Great Britain SailGP Team. Musto Ambassador and Team driver Dylan Fletcher MBE has worn Musto throughout his career, including during his gold medal-winning Olympic campaign racing the 49er. Hannah Mills OBE, strategist for the team, also has deep roots with the brand, with her relationship with Musto dating from her youth racing Optimists all the way to her double gold medal winning performances at the Olympics.
Emirates GBR Driver Dylan Fletcher said: "In SailGP we're constantly chasing marginal gains, and the conditions we race in can be extreme, so having the right kit isn't a nice-to-have, it's critical. It allows us to focus fully on racing, knowing our gear will perform at the very highest level.
"The feedback loop between the Emirates GBR SailGP Team and the Musto design team has been brilliant, and it's that collaboration which enables Musto to keep pushing the envelope with innovation that genuinely makes a difference on the water.
"My relationship with Musto goes back many years, and it's built on trust and a shared vision of achieving winning performances."
As a proud British brand and grantee of the King's Royal Warrant, Musto is honoured to be flying the British flag on the global SailGP stage alongside the Emirates Great Britain SailGP Team.
Replica team clothing and official merchandise will also be made available, allowing SailGP fans and supporters of the Emirates Great Britain SailGP Team to wear the same Musto designs inspired by the athletes competing on the water.
Together, Musto and the Emirates Great Britain SailGP Team will continue to push the boundaries of performance apparel, where innovation, precision engineering, and marginal gains combine to deliver results when it matters most.
