ARC 2026 Unisex Forza 1 Jacket

Designed for changeable conditions, early offshore miles, and time spent moving between sea and shore, the Forza 1 Waterproof Jacket is a dependable outer layer for ARC 2026.

Offering a 10,000mm waterproof rating and 4,000 g/m²/24h breathability, this fully taped jacket provides protection from spray, rain, and squally weather while remaining comfortable during active use on deck. The two-way stretch fabric and ergonomic cut — including articulated sleeves and elbows — support natural movement when handling sails, working lines, or moving around the cockpit.

Waterproof zips, adjustable Velcro cuffs, and a drawcord hem help keep conditions out when the weather turns, while the neon-yellow roll-away hood improves visibility in low light or passing showers. An internal pocket offers secure storage for small essentials during watch.

Practical, lightweight, and built for offshore use, this jacket is a key piece for the early stages of the Atlantic crossing and cooler periods at sea.
