The Best Musto sailing jacket for your time at sea

• October 18, 2023

Whether you're an experienced sailor or new to the sport, a high-quality sailing jacket is essential for your comfort and safety on the water. Musto is renowned for its performance-oriented sailing gear. Here's my top 12 choices of the best Musto sailing jackets for all types of boating activity.

Cold or damp conditions should never get in the way of your next adventure. Drifting across the Amalfi Coast, roaming Lake Michigan or exploring the Scottish Highlands should be enjoyed on deck. Whatever the weather, the best Musto sailing jacket will ensure you make the most of your time at sea. Featuring cutting-edge innovation, Musto claims to be the world’s leading sailing brand and for good reason. The range of men’s sailing jackets can withstand even the harshest weather, which is exactly what you need if you’re caught in a storm on the water.

Best Musto sailing jackets at a glance – Editor’s top choices

Best Musto sailing jacket for inshore – Musto LPX jacket for men and women

Best Musto sailing jacket for offshore  – Musto BR2 Offshore Jacket for men and women

Best Musto top spec ocean sailing jacket – Musto HPX Ocean Jacket

Why choose a Musto jacket?

Did you know that GORE-TEX technology is used in the range of Musto men’s and women’s sailing waterproof jackets? The durable water-repellent coats are also windproof and breathable, which is a brilliant benefit when you’re required to battle the elements.

The British manufacturer states that it has tested products in the lab and to the extreme in the world’s most hostile environments. Here at Yachting World, we appreciate that Musto jackets don’t compromise on the design for features and that the garments are comfortable. And as your friendly tech editor and boating fanatic for over 40 years, I’ve worn just about every one of these jackets at some time or another.

Musto BR2 Offshore Sailing Jacket

Best Musto sailing jacket for offshore (for men)

Specifications: BR2 fabric, waterproof, breathable, articulated sleeves, and multiple pockets.

Reasons to Buy: Exceptional waterproofing, breathability, and durability make it ideal for offshore sailing.

Reasons to Avoid: Premium price may not suit occasional sailors.

The higher collar on this with the more substantial hood give away the fact that this jacket is designed for offshore sailing. A longer cut in the body means a good overlap between your waterproof pant or salopette and this jacket so you can move about easily without water getting in too easily.

The higher spume flap that covers the gap in the collar can be rolled away for stowage and the flap comes up high enough to cover the nose. The reflectors on shoulders and chest as well as on various piping sections on the collar and zip edges mean this jacket is designed to be seen in the dark. This Jacket is a good compromise between the lighter weight coastal jackets and the heavy weight ocean going jackets and for most people in most circumstances this jacket would see you through most conditions we would see on the most adventurous sailing season.

Musto WOMEN’S BR2 OFFSHORE JACKET 2.0

Best Musto sailing jacket for offshore (for women)

Specifications: sizes: 8-16 (UK sizes) colours: red, black, navy and Gold. Fabric: Musto’s proprietary BR2 fabric, which is designed to be waterproof, windproof, and highly breathable, adjustable cuffs and hem for a customized fit, reflectors for safer night sailing

Reasons to Avoid: If you are a hard core gnarly sailor then this might not stand up to the rigors of daily use, all day every day 365. But for most people it’s totally fine.

What Musto has to say about their BR2 jackets: “This features Musto’s new hardcore ‘BR2 Performance’ fabric which not only offers 30k/15k waterproof protection, it also features our brand new durable DWR, ‘LDWR’ – a long lasting DWR developed using PFC-free chemistry, with a much higher wet abrasion resistance so the fabric stays drier for longer. With design nods to the iconic HPX such as the new spume guard, and an innovated collar and hood construction, the BR2 Offshore Jacket 2.0 is more waterproof and breathable and provides exceptional offshore protection without adding weight and bulk or compromising on comfort.”

What they’re saying is, that in the old days you had to pay for high level HPX gear to get this level of waterproofing and abrasion resistance. These days the BR2 is really very good kit indeed and great value too, allowing you to wear some great waterproof sailing gear at the level that most moderately adventurous seasonal leisure sailors will find perfectly good without having to pay both and arm and a leg for.

This is one of my top choices of jacket for the best value to performance ratio.

Musto Sardinia Jacket 2.0

Best lightweight Musto jacket

Specifications: Weight – 652g | Sizes – S-XL | Choice of colours – 7 | Materials – BR1 fabric, waterproof, windproof, and rollaway hood.

Reasons to buy: The mesh lining for enhanced comfort against your base layer. It features a zipped side and chest pockets. Plus, it has a detachable and adjustable hood with a stiffened peak.

Reasons to avoid:  Not designed for winter sailing so you would need to buy another sailing jacket.

Economical and very lightweight is the best way to describe the Musto Sardinia Jacket 2.0. If you’re out at sea for day sailing in the summer, this is essential.

It uses the same two-layer BR1 fabric Musto uses for its full-specification BR1 inshore jacket. It has a detachable hood, plus four pockets, including an inner chest pocket that gives valuables some protection from the wet weather.

On the downside, there are no hand-warmer pockets, the collar is not fleece-lined and there’s no inner cuff seal.

Nevertheless, it’s lightweight, packs super-small, is comfortable and doesn’t restrict movement. You won’t need anything better for many decent summer days and it can be worn ashore as well.

Musto Women’s Corsica Sailing Jacket

Specifications: colours: Cobalt blue, navy blue, grey and black, sizes 8-18. BR1 fabric, waterproof, breathable, and adjustable hem.

Reasons to Buy: Versatile for coastal sailing, lightweight, and comfortable.

Reasons to Avoid: May not offer the same level of protection as offshore models.

Everyone should have a lightweight jacket tucked away in their kit bag for those lovely summer days when the breeze can be a bit chilly at night or for heading ashore.

The Corsica jacket comes in 4 different colour options and is a simple lightweight jacket that can withstand a bit of spray or some summer showers. It’s light, comfortable and a sailors wardrobe staple. Inexpensive as sailing jackets go, I have several jackets like this and if I start to get a bit damp or cold while sailing, I simply throw another heavier weight sailing jacket right over the top of one of these.

Musto BR1 Solent Jacket

Specifications: BR1 fabric, waterproof, windproof, adjustable hood, and fleece lining.

Reasons to buy: It is an extremely comfortable and well-made jacket. The men’s and women’s jackets offer the same features.

Reasons to avoid: This is an inshore jacket rather than a coastal one. We would not recommend using this option in stormy conditions.

On test, it was clear that the Musto’s BR1 inshore jacket is a lightweight choice, reflecting the fact that this is very much an inshore rather than a coastal jacket.

With no external storm flap, the jacket has a waterproof zip and internal storm flap, which keeps water out.

A fleece-lined mid-height collar contains a roll-away hood with a small peak, volume adjustment and side adjusters. We liked the hi-vis yellow detail on the collar.

There are just two external pockets with zip closures and fleece handwarmer linings.

The single cuffs are adjustable but lack inner cuffs. Inside, it was good to see two zipped chest pockets for keeping a phone and keys, and the jacket and hood have a simple mesh liner.

There is drawstring adjustment at the hem but not around the waist. Plus, you can purchase matching trousers. Discover more of the best sailing jackets and pants for boaters .

Musto WOMEN’S BR1 CHANNEL JACKET

Specifications: sizes 8-16, colours red, navy and black

Reasons to buy: It features a double storm flap, fluorescent hood and fleece-lined handwarmer pockets.

Reasons to avoid:  At the pricier end for a waterproof jacket.

This classic cut ladies jacket forms a reliable outer layer that stays completely waterproof in persistent showers when sailing along the coast. The 2-way YKK front zip sits between double storm flaps for protection. Handwarmer pockets are lined with brushed fleece for comfort.

The two-layer fabric has a significantly higher level of water resistance than inshore products. The higher wet abrasion resistance means that the fabric stays drier for longer which is ideal for when you’re working out on the deck in the rain.

The articulated cut ensures freedom of movement and there’s a double storm flap, fluorescent hood and high fleece-lined collar.

There are also fleece hand warmer pockets, plus two cargo pockets, an internal zipped pocket and a sunglasses pocket. The reflective detailing shows up clearly at night and there are double waterproof cuffs.

Musto LPX GORE-TEX Race Jacket

Best Musto sailing jacket for inshore (for men)

Specifications : Gore-Tex Pro fabric, fully waterproof, adjustable hood, and stretch panels.

Reasons to Buy: Designed for racing, top-tier waterproofing, breathability, and movement.

Reasons to Avoid: Premium price, specifically tailored for competitive sailors.

This LPX jacket is designed for lightweight sailing performance in relatively sheltered waters but if the reviews by other wearers are anything to go by then a lot of people use the jackets just like I do, which is to say, I wear this type of jacket offshore during ocean passages when the weather allows.

continues below:

Musto WOMEN’S LPX GORE-TEX JACKET

Best Musto sailing jacket for inshore (for women)

Specifications: Sizes 8-18, colours: black or platinum. Gore-Tex Pro fabric, fully waterproof, adjustable hood and stretch panels.

continued from above:

The jacket is nicely designed with good shaping allowing for freedom of movement and the zip off hood means you can keep the collar bulk to a minimum. The collar has a comfy and cosy brushed tricot inside it which means you are less likely to get a sore spot on your neck when repeatedly looking up at the burgee.

The jacket doesn’t look too bad when wandering ashore for the evening, especially if you’ve travelled light for a regatta week.

Musto MEN’S MPX GORE-TEX PRO OFFSHORE JACKET 2.0

Specifications : Sizes: XS-3XL, Colours, Red, Black, Storm Cloud Blue, Gold. Gore-Tex Pro fabric, fully waterproof, adjustable cuffs, and high collar.

Reasons to Buy : Exceptional waterproofing, breathability, and durability for demanding offshore conditions.

Reasons to Avoid: Premium price may not be suitable for budget-conscious buyers.

If you’ve ever tried on one of these MPX offshore jackets then you’ll know how high that collar is.

Designed for some serious offshore use, the MPX offshore pro jacket has lots of design elements previously seen in the HPX range.

This one has 1 3-layer GORE-TEX Pro fabric construction, which gives excellent waterproofing. It has good breathability too as a consequence of the Gore-Tex construction. I still find that I create my own condensation on the insides of my Gore-Tex jackets so they’re not completely perfect. They have double sealing cuffs and that high collar covers your ears to keep the wind out.

With the longer length jackets of this type, you’ll find two way zips that allow for unzipping the bottom to allow for slightly better leg articulation if you need clamber about a bit such as when putting a reef in or humping heavy sails around.

Musto WOMEN’S MPX GORE-TEX PRO OFFSHORE JACKET 2.0

Specifications: Colours: red, storm cloud blue, black. Sizes: 8-16 (UK sizes) Gore-Tex Pro fabric, fully waterproof, adjustable cuffs, and high collar.

Reasons to Buy: Exceptional waterproofing, breathability, and durability for demanding offshore conditions.

Reasons to Avoid: Premium price may not be suitable for budget-conscious buyers. Heavier jacket is not suitable for lightweight regatta use or summer inshore sailing.

I love this jacket, it has all the features I look for in a decent quality offshore jacket designed for women. One thing it does lack though is the choice of yellow. I have no idea why manufacturers decide to skip that option for women in the higher end gear. The mens version of this jacket does have the yellow or gold as they call it colour option.

Anyway, that gripe aside, this is a blooming excellent choice of offshore jacket. plenty of well thought out features on this, with the adjustable inner cuffs, the adjustable hood, the decent capacity pockets and so on. The collar is high enough to cover your ears and if you pull that spume guard over, it will cover your nose and you’ll be able to comfortably breath in your own coffee/tea breath for hours on end, nice and cosy.

I have been known in the past to put my large foulie jacket on with the high collar simply to have a snooze. The high collar helps to stop your head lolling about while you have a little powernap while sitting up. Thumbs up from me for this MPX jacket from Musto.

Musto HPX GORE-TEX OCEAN JACKET

Best Musto top spec ocean sailing jacket

Specifications: Sizes: XS to XXL, colours red or gold.  GORE-TEX Pro fabric, which is known for its exceptional waterproofing, wind-proofing, and breathability. Reflective details for enhanced visibility.

Reasons to Buy: The HPX Ocean Jacket offers top-tier waterproofing and wind-proofing, Designed to stand up to the rigors of ocean sailing. Durable fabric.

Reasons to Avoid: You’ll need deep pockets for this one. Total overkill for anyone casually sailing by the coast or fair weather sailing. No women’s specific cut available.

Developed alongside the most experienced offshore sailors, tested in the roughest oceans, the HPX Gore-Tex Pro Ocean Jacket is the top most level of Musto sailing jacket you can possibly buy, other than the smock or a dry suit.

The super high collar, the heavy duty fabric that can really take a beating, day after day after day and the waterproofing is second to none. There’s other features too, such as a handwarmer pocket on the chest, an array for well thought out features such a a heavy duty lined poacket for your multitool so that it won’t wear through the fabric and on goes the list of features that set this apart from the rest of the Musto range.

Because of the level of performance and innovation that has gone into making this jacket then it has a price tag to match, but if you really are heading off to the southern ocean or the northwest passage, then this jacket may well be exactly what you’re after.

Musto HPX GORE-TEX PRO SERIES SMOCK

Reasons to Avoid: You’ll need deep pockets for this one. Total overkill for anyone casually sailing by the coast or fair weather sailing. Those Musto boffins don’t think it necessary to make these in a women’s cut.

Musto has this to say “Proven by Volvo Ocean Race sailors to withstand extreme Southern Ocean conditions. The HPX GORE-TEX® Pro Series Smock has been engineered from the toughest GORE-TEX® Pro fabric with an Ocean Technology® membrane and GORE™ Micro Grid Backer. Incredibly waterproof, breathable, highly durable and snag-resistant. The minimum number of fabric panels means fewer seams, creating a lighter and stronger smock. Latex seals and a high collar keep out the water and ProVISION windows in the hood give you enhanced peripheral vision.”

I’m inclined to agree. Differences between this and the HPX jacket are that the smock doesn’t have a chest handwarmer pocket and is lighter weight due to the removal of zips and hardware. The collar and hood is actually described as a pod, and it can be removed. The smock has a rubber neck seal so that you can remove the collar for better head articulation.

The only step higher than this HPX smock is the sailing dry suit. And that’s the subject of a whole other buyers guide than one for Musto jackets.

If you can get over the claustrophobic feeling of putting a smock over your head while sailing, (I’ve seen a few people come over all unnecessary when donning theirs at sea) then they are far superior to jackets when you’re stuck out in some truly foul weather.

What’s the best Musto jacket for me?

If you’re wondering which Musto jacket you should choose out of their extensive range, then that depends entirely on what kind of boating you do and where you most often go.

If you are coastal hopping in fair weather, then you’ll be fine with a lightweight inshore or coastal jacket.

If you regularly go channel hopping or out of sight of land then you’ll be better opting for a coastal or offshore model.

If you want to head off across an ocean or make long passages well out of sight of land then you might opt for an ocean category of jacket or smock. or even a dry suit.

I always wear the lightest jacket I possibly can for the situation. I often wear a lightweight inshore jacket even out on the ocean if the weather is nice because it much easier to move around in and costs less to replace than my big heavy duty jacket.

So really, you probably should have more than one jacket, one for light weight duty when you want to keep the cool breeze out and aren’t getting drenched with green waves over the decks and then something a bit more robust for those times when the weather turns foul and you’re stuck in it.

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.

Meeting Russian Women: Top 5 Locations

• Posted on August 3, 2019 June 1, 2020
• by Kings of Russia
• 7 minute read

Russia, and by extension the post-Soviet countries, are absolutely massive. There are hundreds of cities with lots going on in different places, making a lot of opportunities for meeting Russian women across the entire country .  Making a Top 5 is difficult because there are so many factors to take into account. We have hotness, accessibility, volume, quality, fun factor, safety, diversity vs homogeny, logistics.

If I had to pick 5 for meeting Russian girls generally, I would filter for the larger base cities to get a feel of the different regions while not being overwhelmed by the “Russian-ness” or “Otherness” of it all. Outside large capital cities, the English levels get drastically lower and the overall energy has a small-town vibe with strong social ties. Once you get some experience traveling and have some language skills, the smaller cities and towns may be an option to explore.

Moscow for Meeting Russian Women

Moscow is massive. It has a 17 million+ metro population, is in the heart of European Russia and connects the rest of the Eastern Slavic and Eurasian world. It’s expensive, huge and for some, could be stressful, but if I had to pick a place to go to and meet Russian girls, Moscow is the clear #1 choice for me. English levels are decent, amenities are 1st world, the girls are generally hot and there’s always something to do.

You know you’re in Russia when you’re in Moscow, but you also don’t feel totally homesick because it does draw influence from the West but not in a tacky way. You’ll find plenty of English speaking girls here and the city has upgraded its English sign infrastructure since FIFA. A benefit of Moscow is to test the waters to see if you’re even into Russian or Slavic girls. There’s a lot of hype regarding them, but asides from beauty, some men simply have a hard time “clicking” with these kinds of girls.

Moscow is very much like London and New York with dozens of ethnicities and cultures clashing. You can meet girls from all over Eurasia, from Georgia to Kazakhstan. Diversity, volume, quality and a wide array of activities makes Moscow an easy choice.

St. Petersburg for Meeting Russian Women

Some guys simply don’t like Moscow and want something a little more familiar. Thanks to Peter the Great, we have the most European city in Russia with reminiscences of Venice and Amsterdam. Saint Petersburg looks less Russian and more European in the center. It’s no surprise since many Italian architects were responsible for advising and creating the concept of Saint Petersburg. The population is generally western focused and places a big premium on culture and the arts.

A lot of the girls in Saint Petersburg are doing something pertaining to culture, art or some sort of creative endeavor. You’ll find technical and business girls as well but everything seems to serve the cultural image of Russia in some way. This makes for meeting some pretty strange personalities, where a lot of the girls have specific intellectual and artistic interests.

I personally don’t find the girls as attractive as their Muscovite counterparts but I do know men who clearly prefer Saint Petersburg over Moscow. There are hot girls to be found but more average and strange hipster girls. It’s like Putin ordered anyone remotely left-wing or hipster to take a train to Saint Petersburg so they can scribble in their notebooks. Part of it is the fashion sense, the other part the general appearance (tattoos, piercings and weird hair are more prevalent here), and the other part is simply mentality.

The English levels are fair, amenities are OK. Be careful about the water; do not drink from the tap, as you’ll get stomach issues. I think Saint Petersburg feels a bit more rundown than Moscow. You’ll see a lot more graffiti, punk attitude, strange or severely retro fashions, but despite the aggressive exterior, the people have a live and live attitude. Compared to Moscow, Saint Petersburg takes it easy, and really does try and emulate the vibe of Venice or Amsterdam.

The Ukraine is going through a strange transformation. The Kievan Rus’ were the founders of what we know as Russia today and the Ukrainians and Russians had close relations prior to the scourge of Communism. Kiev is one of the oldest cities founded by the Eastern Slavs.

It is extremely historic, has its own middle sized city charm and the girls are no less attractive than Moscow while also being a cheaper city in general. English is now widespread due to the westernizing influence, though I’d argue this precise westernizing influence is what’s destroying Ukrainian girls, turning them into their Czech and Polish counterparts.

You will find more scammers and green card dreamers here, and while the girls are pretty, they’re also more conniving. The femme fatale that Westerners are warned about of those “devious Russian girls” should not be taken lightly in Ukraine.

Ukrainians are ‘warmer’ than Russians and have a more of an ‘enjoy life’ attitude, because well, it might all be over tomorrow. Despite conditions, Ukrainians don’t seem dour. They have strong social cohesion and seem to be able to keep on trucking. This gives Ukrainians a strong and persistent mentality.

That said, if you find the right girl, you will be very happy. Ukraine is a great place to find a long term relationship. You’ll find slutty girls and fast sex depending on where you look, but in general the quality girls, like most of Eastern Europe require time and commitment. Many guys prefer Kiev over Russia due to its lack of visa requirements and lower cost of living making it easier to stay longer term.

Minsk for Meeting Russians

The Belarusians, relative to the cosmopolitan Russians and the sneaky Ukrainians are more laid back and provincial. English gets significantly worse here, though the westernizing influence is creeping into Belarus as well. Girls are friendly and have a more “small town” vibe in general. The most promiscuous ones are, not surprisingly, the most Western and not the most attractive.

If your Russian ability is better and you don’t mind the sleepy boring city feel, Minsk is also recommended for trying to find a long term relationship. The visa can become an issue and there’s lots of Soviet era bureaucracy the government proudly retains, though it’s been slowly liberalizing.

Belarusians have a pretty ‘distinct’ Slavic look so staying a while you’ll start to see the same “type” of girls. Staying here a while may be an exercise in patience as everything is slower, bureaucratic and pretty much Soviet. While the girls appear broke, somehow they are always flying out on trips to the Mediterranean, Western Europe and Dubai. Sponsorship seems to be big here, so if your intent is to game, screen carefully for girls expecting more.

Prague for Meeting Russian Women

Despite being in Central Europe, lots of Russians study, work in, and live in Prague. If you don’t want to deal with visa issues, political conditions, language blocks or the like, Prague has its fair share of East Slavic girls. They’ll stand out right away relative to their Czech counterparts.

Czech girls can be confused for East Slavic girls but there’s something in the mentality, in the wiring that makes me think: “she’s Russian”. The dress may be similar, but the East Slavic girl walks and acts differently. Czech girls have a more Western attitude vibe while the Russians are unashamed of being feminine. You’ll find nice girls and scammers alike, so keep your screening skills sharp, but generally, Russians in Prague are on business or students. To get to Prague they have to do a bit more than scam their way through life.

Czechs are the land of the Bohemians, so it’s no surprise they’ll have that “strange” vibe, whether it’s hipster aesthetic or just something that makes you think you saw a Rammstein filming. Some Russians flock to this, but I’ve noticed it’s more of a Czech thing.

Russian girls in Prague may also be up for more adventure as they’re not in their hometowns, are technically foreigners themselves, and are in a dirty Disney wonderland where sex is everywhere.

Meeting Russian Women Online

As an added bonus, we always advocate the idea of pipelining prior to any trips and being on the ground in order to bring the most success.

Our go-to for meeting Russian women whether in Russia or other countries and cities as mentioned above in Russian Cupid . Our most recommended dating app, Russian Cupid offers members both high-quality and quantity of Russian women all across the globe.

Conclusion on Meeting Russian Women

Naturally, there are many more cities that could be discussed, but I’d say once you get the hang of Eastern Europe, if you’re interested in seeing more, you can branch out gradually. The biggest issue is language. If you’re serious about traveling around, picking up Russian language skills will help, and the chances of scamming go down.

The other issue in Eastern Europe is after the capital and 2nd biggest cities, the population sizes begin to cut off dramatically. You can go from a few million to a few thousand to even less. At this point you won’t have as many options and unless you’re comfortable being in a long term relationship working on something outside game, won’t have much to do in these small towns.

The mindset is also much more traditional and provincial, so a foreigner strutting through a 75,000 city may be met with both interest and caution, depending on how you like to be.
