Decathlon has added Offshore 900 clothing for tough conditions away from the coast to its range. The prices are attractive

Decathlon's own brand Tribord has launched a new offshore outerwear range. Called Offshore 900, the garment is made from a three-layer laminate that is said to be waterproof up to a water column of 20,000 millimetres and promises high breathability of up to 2,000 grams of moisture wicking per square metre of fabric in 24 hours. The jacket has a high collar, an adjustable hood with fleece and five pockets.

The Open offshore trousers has four pockets and a zip at the back to make going to the toilet easier. It also has abrasion-resistant reinforcements on the knees and buttocks, which are additionally padded with foam. These cushions can be removed from the seat area and are sewn into the knees.

The trousers are only available in red, while the jacket is available in red, blue and black. Both the jacket and trousers cost 255 euros each. That makes a total of 510 euros and is a very fair price for offshore oilskins.

Redakteur Test & Technik

Michael Rinck war das Kind, das nach der Schule direkt aufs Wasser wollte – Segeltraining, Regatten, Hauptsache nass. Diese Vorliebe machte er zum Beruf: Erst als Segellehrer auf der Alster (während des Studiums), dann ab 2014 in der YACHT-Redaktion. Dort hat er im Bereich Test & Technik seine Berufung gefunden: Segelboote und Sicherheitsequipment testen. Was besonders bei Rettungswesten und MOB-Systemen bedeutet, dass er mehr Arbeitsstunden im Wasser treibend verbringt als die meisten Menschen im Büro sitzend. Höhepunkt: eine ganze Nacht in der Rettungsinsel auf der Ostsee. Seine Familie hat inzwischen durchgesetzt, dass Urlaubstörns auf der eigenen Fahrtenyacht deutlich trockener ablaufen.
